Answer & Explanation
Correct AnswerC. Regulations for electrical vehicle charging infrastructure

Quick Explanation

The 2023 edition of India's National Electrical Code includes stronger/current provisions for modern electrical installations, including electric-vehicle charging infrastructure. That emerging installation area is the key focus among the options.

Formula / Key Relation

EV charging design concerns:
load capacity + protection + earthing + isolation + dedicated supply/equipment requirements

Detailed Explanation

Concept & Reasoning

Electrical codes evolve with new technologies and safety requirements. EV charging introduces sustained high-power loads, earthing, residual-current protection, supply arrangements, connector/equipment requirements and coordination with building electrical systems. The distractors propose blanket bans/brand mandates that are not the nature of a national technical code.

New NEC focus → modern technologies such as EV charging.

Important Exam Point

Codes specify technical/safety requirements, not commercial brands.
