Minimum Requirements

Installation of the Wall Connector requires that
you:
• Install an outlet per local electrical and
construction codes.
• Provide the outlet with adequate electrical
service.
• Control the outlet with an adequately
sized breaker or fuse.
• Calculate the distance to ensure minimal
voltage drop.
• Use only copper conductors.
Note: Consult with an electrician to ensure
that the installation meets local regulations.
Choose the Best Location for the
Wall Connector and Outlet
Determine the parking location of the vehicle
to ensure that the charge cable reaches the
charge port. The Wall Connector should be
located:
• In an enclosed garage, typically on the
vehicle's charge port side.
• In a well-ventilated area. Avoid installation
in an enclosed box, or adjacent to hot
appliances.
• 4 ft (1.2 m) above the floor.
• 8 in (190 mm) from any obstructions to
allow for cable looping.
Note: The Wall Connector is approved for
outdoor use, but it is not designed for
complete immersion in liquid. Protection from
rain is recommended but not required.
Note: Outdoor outlets and receptacles should
be mounted in rain proof NEMA 3R
enclosures.
