ChargePoint® Home Flex
16A-50A Flexible Amperage Charger
Electrician’s Pre-Installation Tips
Before beginning work, check the site for appropriate mounting location and electrical capacity.
1. Ensure the homeowner has chosen an installation location that allows
the charging cable to reach the car's charging port while still providing
slack. Ensure there is a stud available at the desired location for
mounting the charging station. Ensure there is WiFi signal available.
Note: Outdoor installation is an option, but requires an outdoor-rated,
weather-resistant electrical outlet or hardwired installation.
2. Determine the desired charging amperage with the homeowner. Home Flex can be installed at a variety
of amperages. Choose based on the availability of space or electrical capacity in the panel, the desired
speed of charging, and whether the homeowner prefers a hardwired or plug-in installation.
Home Flex can also be wired for higher amperages. Consult all applicable codes for breaker and wire
sizing requirements. The field-wiring terminal is rated to 105˚C and accepts a maximum of 16 mm
2
(6 AWG) wire.
CAUTION: Home Flex is a continuous load device. The circuit must be rated for 125% of the
maximum load.
