Hi folks,
I'm looking into leasing a '14 Leaf and have been researching EVSEs and have a question about garage mounting locations. I plan on having a 240v outlet installed and most likely get the Clipper Creek HCS-40P with the NEMA 14-50 plug.
Is there a recommended location to mount them in the garage that provides the best flexibility? Did you have it mounted in one spot, but regretted it and wished you had it mounted somewhere else? I plan on parking the Leaf on the right side of the garage for the most part, and the 25ft cord will reach the Leaf if I have it parked outside the garage (~19-20' deep).
The subpanel in my 2 car garage is at the rear wall of the garage, directly in the center. Entry door to the home is on the left of the rear wall. The main panel is on the (outer) right side of the garage, right by the meter. Does it make any difference whether to have the EVSE connected to the subpanel or the main panel (assuming the subpanel is able to handle the load)?
thanks in advanced for any tips!
