Page 9: Charging Station Placement
Charging Station Placement WARNING: The ChargePoint charging station must be installed on a level concrete base or a flat wall rated for the weight of the station. Asphalt cannot support the full weight of the station. Failure to install the station on a suitable surface may cause the station to tip over, resulting in death, personal injury, or property damage. -
Page 10: Electrical Considerations
For stall parking, ChargePoint prefers using perpendicular parking stalls to better accommodate vehicles with front and rear charge ports. Note: While ChargePoint tests charging stations with a majority of upcoming vehicles, ChargePoint cannot guarantee the port locations of future vehicles and cannot warrant the configurations proposed will work for all vehicles. -
Page 11: Additional Considerations
Consider running raceway or conduit to all planned EV parking spots, but pulling electrical wiring from the panel to meet current needs. Consider installing a dedicated electrical panel for EV charging, then leverage ChargePoint Power Management to efficiently use available power at a site to support more EV charging ports than... -
Page 12: Civil And Mechanical Design
Civil and Mechanical Design Use the guidance below to design the civil and mechanical aspects of the site. The station can be installed attached to a wall, or on a concrete pedestal. The pedestal can be a newly poured pad or an existing concrete surface. Wall Mount Stations For wall mounted stations, the wall must be smooth, stable, and plumb. -
Page 13: Pedestal Mount Stations
Pedestal Mount Stations WARNING: If not installed correctly, the ChargePoint charging station may pose a fall hazard, leading to death, personal injury, or property damage. Always use the provided Concrete Mounting Template shown preinstalled here, or a ChargePoint-approved surface mounting solution, to install the ChargePoint charging station. - Page 14 Behind a curb (a) in a planter or berm 600 mm (2 ft) on each side Area: 0.37 m (4 ft Volume: 0.23 m (8 ft Note: Use a retaining wall as needed to prevent dirt from accumulating on the pad.

- Page 15 Pedestal Mount Stations The pedestal base design can be configured in a variety of ways to serve different parking arrangements. Ensure a sufficient volume of concrete to provide anchoring for the charging station. Place the station behind the curb in a planter or berm between spaces with wheel stops 900 mm (3 ft) from the front of each stall.
- Page 16 Place two stations back to back centered on four spaces with wheel stops 900 mm (3 ft) from the front of each stall. The base of the charging station can be flush with the parking spaces or at curb level.
- Page 17 Pedestal Mount Stations Place a dual port station centered on the right space. The charging cables reach two vehicles. Place a wheel stop 1220 mm (48 in) from the center of the charging station. The arc shows the usable reach of the two charging cable lengths available: 5.5 m (18 ft) and 7 m (23 ft) (c).

Page 18: Accessibility
Accessibility To meet the accessibility requirements, the CPF50 charging cables are no more than 1220 mm (48 in) above ground and no more than 254 mm (10 in) away. This complies with American Disability Act (ADA) requirements, if the station is installed at grade. If your installation must comply with ADA standards, or the disability access regulations for other regions, consider this when designing the height of the pad or when planning a wall-mounted installation. -

Local Service or Sub Panel Grounding Requirements The CPF50 must be connected to a grounded, metal, permanent wiring system. An equipment- grounding conductor must be run with circuit conductors and connected to an equipment- grounding terminal or lead on the CPF50. - Page 23 Grounding Requirements A grounding conductor that complies with applicable codes must be grounded to earth at the service equipment or, when supplied by a separate system, at the supply transformer. Ensure that a grounding conductor that complies with all applicable codes is properly grounded to earth at the service equipment or, when supplied by a separate system, at the supply transformer.

Page 27: Cpf50 Pedestal Mount Concrete Preparation
This section provides basic guidelines for all approved installation types. Installation Overview To install the CPF50 pedestal mount into the ground, you need the components shown below. 5/8” - 11 X 9” grade 55 bolts (4) 5/8” - 11 hex nuts (16) 5/8”... -
Page 28: Installation On New Concrete
Additionally, required consumables are described below. Installation on New Concrete Before casting new concrete, review the site for suitability to install a CPF50. The CPF50 requires space behind the conduit stub-up for the Cable Management Kit (CMK), if applicable. To ensure adequate clearance, refer to the illustrations below and to the CPF50 Installation Template (75- 001163-01) and the Mount Placement Guide (75-001162-01) included in the Concrete Mount Kit. - Page 29 Installation on New Concrete Preparation Dig a hole with the minimum measurements of 600 mm (2 ft) x 600 mm (2 ft) x 600 mm (2 ft). IMPORTANT: The concrete block you create must be at least 600 mm on all sides. Ensure that electrical cable and conduit has been installed in the correct location and that the appropriate circuit protection and metering is in place, following all local codes and regulations.

Page 30: Installation Instructions
Insert the four bolts through the wooden template. This ensures the relative position of the bolts, and ensures that the flange of the pedestal fits over the bolts. On the bottom end of each bolt, install a nut, a washer, and a nut. Lock the two nuts together so that the lower nut aligns to the bottom of the bolt. -
Page 31: Complete After Concrete Cures
Complete After Concrete Cures Remove any boards or shims supporting the mounting template. Leave the mounting template in place until the concrete is fully cured. Complete After Concrete Cures When the concrete is fully cured, remove the upper nut and the washer. Adjust the remaining nuts and washers until about 35 mm (1.4 in) of bolt is exposed above each washer. -
Page 32: Installing On Existing Concrete
You are now ready to install the CPF50 pedestal mount charging station. Installing on Existing Concrete If installing on existing concrete, review the site for suitability to install a CPF50. The CPF50 requires space behind the power stub-up for the pedestal and (optional) CMK. To ensure adequate space, refer to the CPF50 Installation Template included in the Concrete Mounting kit. -
Page 33: Tools And Consumables Required
Tools and Consumables Required Ensure you have adequate wiring. Service wiring for the CPF50 must extend 1.5 m (5 ft) above the platform’s surface. ChargePoint recommends creating a rigid template based on the paper template to position the bolts. Tools and Consumables Required... -
Page 34: Installation Instructions
Installation Instructions Install two nuts with two washers captured between them. Lock them together so the lower end of the nut is located 165 mm (6.5 in) from the bottom of the bolt. This sets the length of the exposed threads. - Page 35 Installation Instructions You may need two drill bits - one for the concrete (with the pilot) and another for the rebar (without the pilot). Always start the hole using the standard drill bit, then switch to the rebar drill bit only if drilling through rebar. Remove all dust from inside the drilled holes using compressed air, a vacuum, and/or a brush.
- Page 36 Therefore, instead of step-by-step instructions, ChargePoint provides the following guidelines: The CPF50’s requires at least 70 mm (2 3/4 in) between the rear edge of the mounting plate and the wall to allow adequate clearance for the CMK. Refer to the CPF50 Mount Placement Guide (75- 001162-01) for details.
- Page 37 Installing onto a Stacked Parking Platform Ensure you have adequate wiring. Service wiring for the CPF50 must extend 1.5 m (5 ft) above the platform’s surface, like any other type of CPF50 installation. Refer to Section 4 of the Installation Guide for detailed instructions on how to install the pedestal mount.
- Page 39 The Limited Warranty you received with your charging station is subject to certain exceptions and exclusions. For example, your use of, installation of, or modification to, the ChargePoint® charging station in a manner in which the ChargePoint® charging station is not intended to be used or modified will void the limited warranty. You should review your limited warranty and become familiar with the terms thereof.
