ChargePoint Home Flex Charger

[StephsMachE]

If we already own one Mach E and have a second Mach E waiting to be trucked from the depot to the dealership, will we be able to both charge on the ChargePoint Home Flex Charger?

Not at the same time obviously, but both be able to utilize it when needed?

I am only asking because I know when it was installed I have to connect it to my vehicle in my chargepoint app etc, so I wasn't sure if I would be able to connect the other vehicle on their app since it will be their vehicle. In turn both sharing the charger but charging at different times.

Anyone know?

Yes, you can charge both (not at the same time). The ChargePoint won't know the difference. The estimated miles added might be off if it's not the same trim or battery capacity.

Awesome! Thank you!

They are different trims and battery sizes, so good to know that little tidbit of information.

We will need to set up the app on the other phone as well or because mine is already set up to charge a Mach E, it will just automatically start charging it?

Apologies in advance for so many questions

It will automatically start charging when you plug it in. The ChargePoint doesn't actually care what kind of car is plugged into it. Telling the app what kind of car you have is just so it can give you an estimate of how many miles per hour it's adding. If you're not looking in the app anyway, it really doesn't matter.

Perfect! Thank you so very much! Hope you have an amazing day

On this charger, it looks as if you can either hard wire it or just mount it and plug it into a 14-50 NEMA. I currently have the plug for the provided mobile charger. Any disadvantage to buying the Flex, just mounting it and plugging into my NEMA vs. hiring an electrician to hard wire it (cost aside)?

Just charging speed. Assuming it's a 50A circuit, you're limited to 40A either way. But if it's a 60A circuit the hardwired option can be cranked up to 48A.
