I don't have an EV yet, but my Schnieder EVSE is installed. I was moving the cable around trying to figure out where exactly to put the cable hanger and I noticed that the "nozzle" seems to slip (rotate) relative to the cable. Has anyone else seen this? It seems like the handle of the "nozzle" should grip the cable fairly tightly.
Yes, it should be fairly tight. Went in and checked mine. There is only a very small slip that is barely noticeable. Check the L1 EVSE that came with the car for comparison.
Mine arrived yesterday, installing tomorrow. I checked out the twisting you folks were talking about and mine does the same thing, but I noticed it is limited to about 180 degrees of twist unless you really force it, so I'm wondering if this is by design. The cable is so beefy without that little it of pivot in the nozzle would be hard to align. Also note the pivot point is part way up the strain relief.
I was a bit turned off by the stamped metal cord hanger compared to the more stylish molded hanger on the AV unit, but I can picture that plastic one breaking down the line so maybe the metal one is a blessing. The plastic housing itself seems a little cheap too, but it does have knockouts on the top unlike AV, which is a plus for my install. I was also surprised the printed instructions were not included in the box, although not a problem.
