I bought one of these earlier this fall for around $450 so this is a great price. I installed this as a hardwired setup at my son's house. It's on a 50A service and works great operating at a 40A charge rate. There's an additional benefit for hardwiring the Chargepoint. Doing so will usually allow a much cheaper standard breaker to be used. If you're going to install it with a NEMA plug then a GFCI breaker will be required by many municipalities. The GFCI breaker was a lot more expensive for my son's electrical panel, it was about $200 for the 50A GFCI breaker alone. The standard non-GFCI 50A breaker only cost me $30. I have about 35yrs of experience as an electro-mechanical engineer working with a lot of high power equipment. Based on what I've seen over the years, I didn't feel comfortable installing this high amperage service on a NEMA plug so that's why we went hardwired and the cheaper install costs were an added benefit.

If you've having an electrician install this charger in a hardwired config make sure they understand that the charger has built-in protection and likely will not require a GFCI breaker. If they're still saying that by code you have to install GFCI protection then I'd get a 2nd opinion from a different electrical contractor.
From the Chargepoint install manual "If local codes require a GFCI breaker for plug-in installation, ChargePoint recommends a hardwire installation. We do not recommend
using a GFCI breaker as the Home Flex has charging circuit interrupting
device (CCID) protection. Using a GFCI breaker in the panel can cause
nuisance tripping."

Seems like you can remove the plug from this one and hardwire it. Says so on the product page

As a counterpoint to this gentleman's experience, I have had at least a dozen to several dozen plug in nema 14-50 chargers installed for myself and others since 2014. All are still in operation and none have had any issues.

Great deal, wish they had it before I bought one 2 weeks ago.

If you don't know you can remove the nema plug and hardwire it to get 11.5kw charge

all their units are the same different ones just come with a different plug but they can all be interchanged.

Personally not a fan of Plug-in charging equipment. Most people dont use the proper outlets and equipment causing a huge fire risk. I'd rather cut out the additional point of contact and go hardwired.

I have had this for a few years now and it has been pretty stable for me. I ended up getting an enermax recently (as a second one) simply because the ChargePoint still cannot handle two chargers with one account. There are ways around it (like create a separate account and swap back and forth) but that is annoying. Other than that, I have been happy with it for a few years now.

Oh, for those of you who go with the plug-in variety, be prepared to be annoyed at the short length of the cord. There is not much forgiveness for mounting.

This or the Tesla charger for $475? I have a Tesla and a Volt, so I have both adapters.

If you own Tesla then I would recommend going for Tesla charger.

Yea. I also totally forgot about the button on the Tesla charger to open the charging port door.

I'd recommend getting the Emporia charger over this especially if you are planning to install this outside. I also agree that you should just get it hard wired vs using the NEMA plug.

This seems to qualify for a $300 rebate from Portland General Electric but you do have to install it as a hard wired to qualify for the rebate. They do list a hard wire version separately but the description does seem to indicate that this could still be installed as a hard wire. For $150 less it's probably worth a little effort to do that. I just had my JuiceBox installed for the rebate or I'd dig in even further and order this.

I hired legit licensed company to install the plug in version, drama free for 3 years and the socket melt all of a sudden, luckily I was at home and smelled it otherwise the whole house would have burned down.

I asked the company stripped everything and hardwired the wall connector instead.
