Remove CP4000

Removing the CP4000 charging station and installing the adapter requires one ChargePoint Certified Installer and about 2 to 2.5 hours to complete (not including epoxy cure time) before continuing on to the normal charging station installation described in the CP6000 Installation Guide.

This upgrade assumes that the CP4000 was originally installed according to ChargePoint specifications as listed in its datasheet and technical guides. Surface entry wiring or incorrect conduit configuration disqualifies a charging station from upgrade.

For assistance, go to chargepoint.com/support and contact technical support using the appropriate region-specific number.
