Should I Install Charge Station Pro inside or outside ?

[Whammy Bar]

Yes, 3/4"

What conductors you run? Thought you had to run #3 copper, which would mean you'd need 1" conduit.

Sorry if this has been asked a billion times - how many feet long is the cord?

Thanks for the screenshots - looks to be 25ft w/ 17ft recommend max usage to keep the strain off the cable. Thanks!

25 feet, see the unboxing thread for a lot more details about the charger in general

Also, from the installation manual…..

I ended up going outside because during the month of December , I do a very intricate Christmas light setup that precludes me from opening the garage doors. Took my local electrician 1.5 hours.

Now we'd like to see the intricate Christmas light setup though...

If it‘s IMC, 2 #3s are fine in 3/4.

Not sure why the quality of video is so terrible, but this is what I could quickly find.

That feeling you get when the neighbors cut your home's power due to the extravagant Christmas lights display and you just fire it up again using the Ford Lightning's Pro Power Onboard™ will be so satisfying.

I award you with the "best thing I've read on the internet all day " award.

Agree. But this is PVC and some liquidtight.

Hummm. Plastic junk outside?... How long will it last?? Dunno but inside might last longer.

At our camp in Maine, I will have to install it outside (as we have no garage) and it will be by the road, with a new power poll being installed by Central Maine Power (because the camp does not have enough power to run the electric heat in the winter and the EV charging.) The new poll will be 200 AMP service, in case we want to install as second charger; we have two new EV's, the Lightning, and an Audi E-Tron. Plus we have visitors from out of state to the camp who want to charge while here.

You can get a box on pole to put evse in and it might help with ice and snow.

I haven’t seen many public chargers inside. A few in open parking garages but all the rest out in the elements.
