Installing in new concrete
Important
Check local codes or consult an engineer to ensure
that the installation complies with all applicable
codes.
1. Verify that the site is suitable for a CPE200 installation. Confirm that there is adequate
clearance and that the CPE200 can be properly positioned so that the cable can reach the
charge ports of any EV parked in the space.
2. Trench and excavate an opening for the concrete pad that measures at least 1 m wide x
850 mm long (front to back) and 650 mm deep (below grade). The concrete pad must be
reinforced with rebar.
3. Build the concrete form.
4. Run 40 mm conduit from disconnect. Thread a nipple or short section of conduit into the
coupling. This will determine the position of the plywood template and mounting bolts.
5. Add rebar to reinforce the concrete pad. Dowel to adjacent concrete if applicable.
6. Place the ChargePoint prefabricated plywood template into the opening.
Note

8. Insert the bolts through the template and thread the remaining nuts onto the top end of the
bolts. Position the nuts so the bolts extend 35 mm above the concrete.
Note
Make sure that the studs do not protrude more than
40 mm including the thickness and height of the
plywood template. Removing and replacing the fan
will be impossible when the protrusion is more than
40 mm.
9. Cover the nuts and the exposed end of the bolts with tape to protect them from
contamination.
10. Pour the concrete into the form.
11. Immediately afterwards, rotate the bolts to draw the concrete into the threads. Make sure that
they are vertical. Ensure correct alignment and that the top 35 mm of the bolts remains
exposed.
12. If pouring an above grade pad, form a faux curb with score line 150 mm from edge.

Score line Conduit coupling
Preparing the pad
13
13. When the concrete is firm, remove the upper nuts and template. Finish smoothing the top
surface of the concrete pad.
14. Allow the concrete to cure for at least 48 hours to reach full strength.
The concrete pad is now ready to install the CPE200. See the Installing chapter.
Preparing an existing surface
You can mount the CPE200 directly on an existing concrete surface, such as a parking garage.
Check that the top surface of the concrete is perfectly flat and level and bolt the CPE200 station
directly on the concrete surface. If you plan to upgrade from the CPE200 to the CPE250 charging
station, refer to the CPE200 Adapter Guide.
The conduit is brought into the rear of the CPE200 via the concrete surface.
Note
To safely mount the CPE200, the concrete must be
at least 200 mm thick. At this thickness, all
mounting bolts must be positioned at least 500 mm
from the front and rear edges and at least 60 cm
from the side edges.

15
6. Fill the four holes with epoxy to 76 mm below the top.
Note
Take note of the cure time to make sure you can
insert and position the bolts before the epoxy sets.
7. Insert the bolts into the holes. Ensure the bolts protrude 35 mm above the concrete.
Note
Inserting the threaded bolts displaces the epoxy,
causing it to fill the holes to grade level. If the epoxy
is below grade level, you can add more after the next
step.
8. Loosen the nuts and rotate the bolts to ensure the epoxy penetrates the threads. Avoid getting
epoxy into the above-grade threads.
9. Tighten the nuts again to ensure the bolts are plumb.
10. Verify that the bolts protrude 35 mm above the concrete.
Note
Make sure that the bolts do not protrude more than
40 mm including the thickness and height of the
plywood template. Removing and replacing the fan
will be impossible when the protrusion is more than
40 mm.
11. Allow the epoxy to cure completely before applying any load. Check the cure time on the
manufacturer’s data sheet.
You are now ready to install the CPE200. See the Installing chapter.
