Recommended Mounting Position
The Emporia Energy EV Charger is designed to be installed upright, mounted approximately 24 to 48 inches off the ground. This recommended height ensures the charger is easily accessible while also providing protection from potential flooding or pooled water.
Flexible Installation Options
While the upright, off-the-ground installation is ideal, we understand that certain circumstances may require alternative mounting options. Here are guidelines for various installation orientations:
Higher or Lower than 24-48 Inches:
Higher: Installing the charger higher than 48 inches is acceptable and poses no significant issues.
Lower: We advise against installing the charger lower than 24 inches to avoid the risk of water damage in case of flooding.
Upside-Down Installation:
Although the EV Charger’s watertight certification assumes an upright vertical orientation, it can be installed upside-down. Ensure that no water or moisture can collect on the charger when installed in this manner.
Sideways Installation:
Similar to upside-down installation, the charger can be mounted sideways. Again, it is crucial to ensure that water and moisture do not compromise the charger’s integrity.
Ceiling Installation:
The EV Charger can be mounted on the ceiling. Ensure the installation is secure and that the charger is protected from any environmental factors that could affect its performance.
Indoor and Outdoor Installation:
The charger is designed for both indoor and outdoor use. For outdoor installations, it is essential to follow the guidelines mentioned above to protect the charger from environmental factors.
Professional Installation
We strongly recommend hiring a qualified electrician to install the EV Charger. A professional can ensure that the charger is mounted securely and appropriately, taking into consideration the specific environmental conditions of the installation site.
