Home Charging Kiosk Options

[slambertr]

Me (and my Pegasus MME) are moving from our home with a garage to a townhome with a carport. I have a dedicated parking space and am running a 220v line from my townhome to a new outlet at the carport (as is my neighbor). Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations for a small (2 charger) home charging pole / kiosk that can withstand the Pennsylvania sun, rain and snow? Thank you!

What do you mean by kiosk? Like something with an interface or that will be able authorize only certain vehicles approved for charging?

No - just a covered pole that we can hang the chargers on (preferably vinyl / white). I'm worried about the elements and also want something smaller that conforms to the carport (keep the neighbors happy). Thanks - good clarifying question!

I would just get one of those or similar pedestals. Run the outlet with conduit to the mid way of the pole. The EVSE can be exposed to weather. My EVSE is installed on the exterior wall exposed to rain.

Thank you. And I'm guessing this is not specific to a Lectron charger - can be used with Ford's and others?

Maybe something like this:

My daughter has a ChargePoint mounted outdoors on a post that’s exposed to all weather. 2-1/2 without issues.

Thank you, All. I like this one (need it to be white) - any reason why I shouldn't?

The $600 price tag seems like a reason. Why not just use a vinyl mailbox post for a fraction of the cost?

If you can bury it get a 5 gallon bucket, some ready-mix and a short chain link fence post and a white rattle can. Drill 2 holes in the pipe and run the electric up on the inside, hard wire the charger and then fewer worries about theft.
