ChargePoint CP6000 - Charging Station Placement; Layout Considerations

l
Ensure appropriate electrical wiring, over current circuit protection, and metering, if required, is in
place.
l
Identify costs for any necessary upgrades and/or a new dedicated electrical panel.
l
ChargePoint recommends using a licensed electrician to evaluate available capacity and identify any
upgrades that may be required.
l
If a dedicated EV electrical panel is required, choose a panel location in close proximity to the
charging stations.
l
Determine raceway or conduit runs for electrical wiring from the electrical panel.
Charging Station Placement
To help minimize costs, choose station locations that are as close as possible to the available electrical
infrastructure. Selecting these types of locations helps minimize long conduit and wire runs, as well as any
trenching work.
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.
Layout Considerations
l
Identify station locations for EV charging spots.
l
CP6000 charging stations can be installed either indoors or outdoors.
l
They can be mounted on walls or in the ground (pedestal mount).
l
CP6000 charging stations do not have an integrated active ventilation system.
l
To help minimize costs, choose station locations that are as close as possible to the available
electrical infrastructure.
l
Consider locations where it will be easy to add future stations.
l
Consider how easily drivers can find the stations they need to access.
l
Identify suitable locations with smooth, plumb surfaces for wall mount stations or suitable floor
surfaces for pedestal mount stations.
l
Consider a layout to minimize electrical infrastructure costs to all proposed EV parking spaces.
l
Avoid or minimize trenching requirements.
l
Comply with regional accessibility laws, regulations, and ordinances. The CP6000 charging station
must not block ramps or pathways and the height of the interactive display cannot exceed the
maximum height as dictated by local laws.
l
For stall parking, ChargePoint recommends using perpendicular parking stalls to better
accommodate EVs with front and rear charge ports.
