CUSTOMER HAS A DEFECTIVE CHARGEPOINT? HOW TO REPLACE AN EV CHARGER-DAY IN THE LIFE OF AN ELECTRICIAN

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

Carefully unbox the new ChargePoint Home Flex EV charger. Position the new charger's main housing against the exterior wall, aligning it with the existing conduit hole where the Romex wiring emerges. Using a cordless drill and appropriate drill bits, create pilot holes through the siding. Insert 5/16 inch anchors into these pilot holes for secure mounting. Align the charger housing, ensuring it is perfectly straight using a small spirit level. Secure the unit to the wall by driving screws through the mounting points, starting with the top screw which often acts as a pivot, and then the two middle screws. Tighten all screws firmly but do not overtighten, especially on vinyl siding.

Goal: Mount the new EV charger securely and level on the wall
