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."

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.

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.

If you own Tesla then I would recommend going for Tesla charger.
Debating the same, this would need a j1772 adapter but the benefit of chargepoint is it reports off peak use directly to the utility co vs RER pinging the car 15-20 times a day. Also with this can choose between hardwire or plug based on your situation

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank

Had one of the these for about 2 years sitting outside with no issues.

Either version can hardwired but it's nice they have a dedicated hardwire only version now since I just have the plug cables taking up space from the version I bought.

Charge Point also sells a NACS replacement cable which is good to know if I switch out my vehicle in a few years.

New to EV world. Does this work for Tesla cars? If yes is it better than Tesla wall charger. Please be kind with your response.

Returning one of these right now, they don't work well with Mercedes and their offshore support is worthless, let alone the bad internet telephony.

Yes, with the adapter. It's worse because you need to use the adapter. But otherwise they're both basically the same. Basically every car post 2025 or so in North America is using the Tesla plug (NACS) so factor that in (ChargePoint will sell a replacement cord from the box to the car that has the NACS adapter if you'd like to upgrade in the future).

Curious what problems you're having? My parents have a EQS 550(?) and it works fine with them AFAIK.

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.
Can confirm, I installed one of these for my sister last month. The discounted version from the utility was a 6-50 but I hardwired it instead. Worked perfectly fine.

I had pretty good timing, I grabbed a KIA Niro EV back when it was getting the 7500 fed rebate along with an Oregon credit.
On top of that, my utility company had a rebate of up to $500 on a charger. Wanting to maximize that rebate, I was only looking at $500 or more chargers. For whatever it's worth, the chargepoint has been great. I hardwired mine but in the settings I keep it on the lowest setting to hopefully preserve my car's battery. While not exactly being in the elements, mine lives out in the carport and it's been good so far.

I'm guessing I'll replace the charging handle/cable when I upgrade from the Niro. I know there's adapters but it looks like I can just swap the cable so that's what I'll do now that there's an actual standard.

I hardwired mine, it allows you to set it to 60a instead of a max 50a when using a plug. I could be making up numbers, but it was something like that.

This or the Tesla charger for $475? I have a Tesla and a Volt, so I have both adapters.
I have only Tesla cars and a chargepoint hardwired. my local utility company covered half of the charger cost so i got chaegepoint instead of tesla charger (tesla charger was not on rebate list). except the minor inconvenience of needing to use a adapter, chargepoint has been great.
Chargepoint already sells a NACS cable conversion kit for 200 bucks, and its back ordered.(for hardwired CPH50 though)

I have this model, purchased in 2020 and still going strong to charge our Bolt around 4 times per week (long commutes). Fortunately we had one of these plugs in the garage from the previous owner and it was an easy install. For anyone worried about adapters, the NACS adapters are not expensive. I've never had to use mine but would probably consider the cord swap in the future.
