FCSP - Mounted Indoors with Cord Under Garage Door

[PV2EV]

Adding some pics. First, the hole through the stucco. Like I said, I knowingly destroyed a (non-masonry) hole saw to do this. I still had to file the hole a bit afterwards. Next two pics are of the closed & open pass-through. Last is from the inside of my unfinished garage. Also, for the RV part listed in my previous post, I had to shave (I used a dremel) the plastic cable grips so that the Tesla HPWC could fit through.

Well I started to drill through my ICF wall, having guessed where the rebar is, and of course hit cross of rebar, making a mess out of the hole. Although the bit can cut through it, I don't want to. I will continue when it cools off later in the week.

I did complete (minnus one clamp) the external install on my vacation house. run with 100amp wiring for future upgrade.

I mounted my Autel charger in the garage but my truck is 4 inches to long to fit in my garage. I didn't want to put the cord under the garage door so I made this pass through. It is very easy to store my connector in the garage and put it through the door. I used a door I bought off Amazon that locks. I am very happy with the results.

Very nice, clean looking installation.
Whats the copper-looking thing bolted to a stud? Just curious.

I want to do a similar setup. Can you post the link to the Amazon page? Thanks

That appears to be part of the locking mechanism

You’re right…I never thought that the lock would be inside, but it makes sense. No key required that way!

Thanks

Yes, it is the lock for the door. I hang the key just inside the garage.

This is the one I used. They make different size doors. I used a 2x4 that I painted white on one side for in-between the outside and drywall.

I cut a piece of pipe foam insulation around the cord so I can fill in the gap when the cord is put through. Keeps the cold out in the winter and the bees out in the summer.

Here is my approach for those who have basic wood working skills. The board is full width of the door. It fits inside the door track on each end to keep it in place.

I bought this on Amazon. Works like a champ. I have brick front and didn’t want to drill through the brick.

I'm keeping my Model S and I have a gen 2 Tesla HPWC in my garage, and will use that to charge both vehicles--using a TeslaTap for the F150L. F150L won't fit in my garage and my garage door won't close on the HPWC cable.

I already punched a hole through the side of my garage (stucco) with a hole saw and cordless drill (on the hammer setting and I knowlingly destroyed the hole saw, I couldn't find a masonry-specific version). I seated an RV cable pass-through in the hole, and set it with stucco RTV sealant.

I'll try to remember to report back here with pics in the nex day or two (I'm at work). Here's the pass-through I set in the hole....

Our Tesla charger is in the perfectly wrong place, except for a Tesla.
I have to pull my truck in half way to charge on it.
A second charger will be going in fairly soon.

This is not my installation, so I can’t answer any questions, but came across this link as well. I thought might be helpful.

Now show them the top of your garage door when closed.
