Post pics of your charger installs (aka show off your poles!)

I just finished expanding a shed on the side of my workshop building to create a carport (details on my blog). I find this setup to be practical and the install was very simple. Just pulled Romex 10/3 wire from the breaker box 25 ft and through the wall to the meter box. I installed the Voltec charger on the outside corner along with my own meter that I got used/reconditioned on eBay so I can track the energy used to charge the Volt. Most of the charging power comes from our 5.2kW solar array.

Here is my setup. Very quick to pull down from the ceiling and plug in.
(Note there is a section of old rubber garden hose on the hook that goes on my wheel to protect it now)

Here's a couple of photos I posted earlier of my charger installed on the ceiling. The problem I have is no space on the walls and I use the garage as a shop so I can't have charger or its cord hanging down while I'm working.

Here's mine, mounted on a support pole at the carport. It's a Clipper Creek LCS-25, very compact and recommended over the SPX / Voltec Level 2 that GM pushes at you. See my website for more info.

My garage is too full of 'stuff' (motorcycle, bicycles, etc), so I'm parking my $45,000 car outside in the elements. I know that doesn't make sense to some people, but here's my charger setup:

Leviton EVB32-5ML

Leviton EVB32-5ML Evr-Green 320 7.7 Kilowatt Charging Station with 25-Foot Cable

In use about a month now- works great! Volt took to it like a fish to water.

Installed by an electrician for $350 including new 40 amp breaker, external wire in armored sleeve.

I have it strung via a ceiling hook and then to a wooden ladder that hangs above the car. I can easily use it in either garage bay and out in the driveway as well.

I spent a little extra to "future proof" a bit (I hope) by going with a 32 A unit. It is also a "plug-in" (as opposed to hard wired), so it can be moved within the space if need be, or to a new home if I move or sell it.

Like the Volt, "Designed, developed and assembled in the USA".

Stay Charged!
