Determine optimum conduit layout to minimize linear conduit costs to multiple
parking spaces. If possible, avoid or minimize trenching requirements.
Evaluate existing electrical infrastructure to determine if the existing utility service
and electrical panel capacity is sufficient. Identify costs for any necessary upgrades
and/or a new dedicated electrical panel. We recommend you invite a certified
electrician to evaluate available capacity and identify any upgrades that may be
required.
If a dedicated EV electrical panel is required, choose a panel location in close
proximity to the existing electrical supply.
Measure cellular signal strength to ensure adequate cellular coverage at the
installation site. To ensure adequate signal strength in underground or enclosed
parking structures, cellular repeaters may be required.
We recommend you avoid locations under trees where sap, pollen or leaves would
fall on the MaxiCharger and increase the station owner’s site upkeep workload.
For stall parking, we recommend you use perpendicular parking stalls that allow a
vehicle to enter either front-first or rear-first, to better accommodate the varied
charge port locations on different EVs. Diagonal stall parking is not advised.
NOTE
While Autel tests the MaxiCharger with a majority of modern vehicles, we cannot
guarantee the port locations of future vehicles and cannot warrant the configurations
proposed will work for all vehicles.
Choose adjacent parking spaces in an area with adequate lighting.
Consider how easily drivers can find the stations they need to access.
Check local requirements for accessibility and pathway width, sometimes called
"path of travel", to ensure station placement does not restrict sidewalk use.
IMPORTANT
Place each MaxiCharger centered at the head of its parking space, with the touchscreen
facing the vehicle. This placement maximizes cable reach for the varied charge port
locations on different EVs.
Pull-through parking (gas station model) is not recommended.
