6. Wire the Circuit
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD: Prior to installation, turn off the circuit
breaker at the panel supplying power to the circuit. Do not restore
power until the installation is fully completed. Failure to adhere to this
critical warning may result in the risk of electric shock or electrocution.
Once a plug-in or hardwired installation has been chosen:
1) For a 40 or 50 Amps plug-in installation, wire the circuit with the appropriate 14-50
outlet. Install the outlet with the ground prong facing up. Plug in the EV Charger.
2) For a hardwired installation of the plug-in version of EVIQO Smart EV Charger,
remove the original input power cable with NEMA 14-50 plug first. To remove the
faceplate — unscrew the 7 screws on the back side of EVIQO Smart EV Charger.
Then, you will need THWN-2 copper wires with the following gauge sizes: L1/L2 6
AWG and GND (PE) 10 AWG. Connect the L1 lead to the grid L1, the L2 lead to
the grid L2, connect the PE lead to the grid PE ground bar. Conduit of 1” and
liquid tight fitting will be required. Return the original input power cable to the box.
Attach the label indicating the appropriate rating to the circuit panel.
3) For hardwired installation of the hardwire version of EVIQO Smart EV Charger,
use the original 3-wire whip of 3.2ft with nonmetallic liquid tight flexible electrical
conduit of also 3.2ft provided to hardwire the device following the connection
instructions in point 2 above.
The EVIQO Smart EV Charger
has the GFCI protection
included.
For hardwired installation (if
you had to detach the faceplate
to get access to the internal
components):
Please note you have to close
the device and tighten the 7
screws on the back side before
mounting the device onto the
wall and fixing the conduit.
WARNING: This device must be grounded. Disconnect electrical
power prior to installing the charging station.
WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor would result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a
qualified electrician if you aren’t sure if the product is properly
grounded. Don’t modify the plug provided with the product – if it
doesn’t fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by an electrician.
