An EVSE is expected to draw 40 amperes continuously. Using the supplied 125% continuous-load factor, what minimum calculated circuit ampacity results?

A40 amperes
B45 amperes
50 amperes
D55 amperes

Why C is correct

Multiply the continuous load by the supplied factor: 40 A × 1.25 = 50 A. The factor is applied before selecting conductors and protection that satisfy all applicable listing, terminal, and code conditions.
