Civil and Mechanical Design

Use the following guidance to design the civil and mechanical aspects of the site.

Each charging station can be installed attached to a wall or on a concrete pedestal with a Cable Management Kit (CMK Cable Management Kit). The pedestal can be mounted on a newly poured pad or an existing concrete surface.

Component Dimensions and Weights

The station is a vertical enclosure with the weights and dimensions shown as follows:

Station weights

Station Configuration	Approximate Weight
Single port, wall	62 kg (136 lb)
Dual port, wall	68 kg (150 lb)
Single port, pedestal	71 kg (155 lb)
Dual port, pedestal	76 kg (168 lb)

Concrete Pad Specifications

The concrete pad must either be designed to be site-specific or must meet one of the specifications below. In some extreme conditions, a larger pad may be required. For sites with less stringent seismic, soil, or wind conditions, a smaller pad may be possible.

Conservative stability specifications for CP6000 are listed below for the following design scenarios:

1. 150 mph wind, high seismic, Class 3 Soil

2. 150 mph wind, high seismic, Class 4 Soil

3. 150 mph wind, high seismic, Class 5 Soil

4. 125 mph wind, high seismic, Class 3 Soil

5. 125 mph wind, high seismic, Class 4 Soil

6. 125 mph wind, high seismic, Class 5 Soil

All scenarios assume:

• Must not be installed in asphalt.

• Minimum concrete rating 3500 PSI.

• All-threaded M16 anchor bolts are embedded 150 mm (6 in) into the concrete pad and are made of ASTM F1554 Grade 36 carbon steel and hot dip galvanized (HDG Hot Dipped Galvanized).

• Epoxy anchors may be used (for installations in existing concrete) if edge of concrete opening for conduit is greater than 50 mm (2 in) from the edge of the hole for the anchor bolt.

• No expanding bolts are used.

CP6000 Station with 18 ft Cable (6 ft Cable Management Kit)

Minimum concrete block size for all design scenarios (1–6):

• Width: 600 mm (24 in)

• Length: 600 mm (24 in)

• Thickness: 600 mm (24 in)

CP6000 Station with 23 ft Cable (8 ft Cable Management Kit)

Minimum concrete pad dimensions vary by design scenario:

CP6000 Concrete Pad Specifications

 

Design Scenarios	Pad Width		Pad Thickness
1	600 mm (24 in)	600 mm (24 in)	1350 mm (54 in)
2	600 mm (24 in)	600 mm (24 in)	1350 mm (54 in)
3	600 mm (24 in)	600 mm (24 in)	1350 mm (54 in)
4	600 mm (24 in)	600 mm (24 in)	600 mm (24 in)
5	600 mm (24 in)	600 mm (24 in)	600 mm (24 in)
6	600 mm (24 in)	600 mm (24 in)	600 mm (24 in)

If the pad does not meet these specifications, a structural engineer must inspect and approve it for the charging station’s dimensions and weight.

Concrete Mounting Template

Use a CMT when installing charging stations on existing concrete (on an intermediate floor only).

You must order the CP6000 CMT separately, with sufficient lead time before site construction. This kit ships separately from the ChargePointCP6000 charging station.

(a) Upper template

(b) Lower template

(c) Nuts (x 15)

(d) Washers (x 18)

(e) Anchor bolts (x 3)

The Concrete Mounting Template kit components you need to use, the tools required, and the installation steps vary depending on the type of installation: new concrete or existing concrete.

Pedestal Mount Bolt Pattern

(a) Wall

(b)CMK Cable Management Kit footprint

(c) Pedestal footprint

(d) Front

(e) Bolt circle

(f) Bolt or anchor

(g) Conduit stub-up within this area (new concrete only)

Pedestal-Mount Specifications

The CP6000 must be installed either on a newly poured concrete pad embedded with the Concrete Mounting Template(CMT), or on an existing concrete surface using the Surface Conduit Entry (SCE Surface Conduit Entry) kit. As an alternative, precast concrete blocks are available from third-party providers. For more information, contact ChargePoint.

Required Tools and Materials

In addition to the CP6000Concrete Mounting Template kit, the site construction team needs:

• Digging tools (shovel, spade, etc.)

• Materials to prepare the form for pouring concrete

• Concrete as specified by site drawings

• Rebar as specified by site drawings

• 24 mm (1 in) wrench

• Level

• Cut-resistant gloves

• Drill or hydraulic hole punch (if using armored cable)

• Conduit, ducting, or armored cable in the amounts and types specified by site drawings, that complies with local code (see the rest of this document for conduit sizes and routing)

Install a Station in New Concrete

Perform the following steps to install into new concrete:

1. Trench and excavate an opening to accommodate the wiring conduit and the concrete mounting pad that meets local codes and requirements, per site drawings.

2. Run conduit to each station as needed. If the station needs wired Ethernet access, run Ethernet conduit.

3. Build the form and lay rebar for the foundation.

   • The concrete block must measure at least 600 mm (24 in) on all sides.

   • The conduit stub-up needs to measure between 152 mm (6 in) and 590 mm (23.2 in) above the concrete surface.

   Ensure that the following are addressed before you proceed:

   • The 600 mm (24 in) concrete base requirement applies when a new pad is poured on virgin ground. This ensures sufficient volume and strength to support the pedestal and anchoring hardware.

   • It is critical that the conduits are positioned properly and plumb. The tolerance where the conduits enter the station is 2 mm (1/16 in).

4. Align the CP6000CMT over the conduit stub-ups with the two bolts facing forward and the third bolt to the rear.

5. Slide the CP6000CMT over the conduit stub-ups until the top surface of the template is level with the top surface of the concrete when poured.

   

   The bottom of the upper template (a) must align with the surface of the concrete (b).

   

6. Ensure the conduits are plumb.

7. Use a level to check that the CP6000CMT is level from front to back and from side to side.

8. Conduit height (c) must be between 456 mm (18 in) and 590 mm (23.2 in). Each bolt (d) must extend between 60 mm (2-1/2 in) and 100 mm (4 in) above the concrete surface.

   

9. Before pouring concrete, tie the CP6000CMT to rebar to help hold it in place.

   

   The CP6000CMT and the conduit must be secured in place to prevent them from moving out of position while the concrete is poured and curing.

10. Pour the concrete.

    Make sure the concrete surface between the conduits is completely level and free of any irregularities.

    

11. Refer to the measurements in this guide and ensure the anchor rod locations are correct before the concrete is dry.

12. Use a level to ensure the bolts are plumb.

You are now ready to install the CP6000 pedestal mount charging station.

Replace an Existing ChargePoint CT4000 or CPF50 Charging Station

CT4000 and CP6000 station pedestals use the same bolt pattern, so if you are replacing a CT4000, the new CP6000 station should fit the existing anchor bolts.

If you are replacing a CPF50 charging station, contact ChargePoint to order a CPF50 Adapter Kit.

Review Concrete Pad Specifications and ensure that the dimensions of the existing concrete slab meet the requirements.

To safely mount a CP6000 charging station, the concrete must be at least 300 mm (12 in) thick. At this thickness, all of the CP6000 mounting bolts must be positioned as follows:

• At least 610 mm (24 in) from the front, side, and rear edge of concrete slab

Replace an Existing Non-ChargePoint Charging Station

If an existing charging station (from a manufacturer other than ChargePoint) is already in place at the installation site, complete these tasks:

• Turn off all power to the station and disassemble according to the original manufacturer’s instructions.

• Cut away any existing bolts or non-power conduit stub-up to ground level.

• You may need to plug cut-away conduits at the slab end and disconnect wiring at the other end.

Replace a Charging Station with Surface or Side Entry Conduit

To replace a charging station with surface or side entry conduit, the site construction team needs the following:

Consumables Required

Quantity	Description	Purpose
	Electric hammer drill with 12 mm (1/2 in) or larger chuck.
1	Epoxy adhesive for concrete such as Hilti RE-500	Fill drilled holes.
1	Electrical cleaning and maintenance aerosol, any angle spray duster, 235 ml (8 oz)	Clean drilled holes. Note: Compressed air will work.
1	Slow spiral round-shank masonry drill bit 19 mm (3/4 in) diameter 12.5 mm (1/2 in) shank 254 mm (10 in) drill depth 305 mm (12 in) length overall	Drill 19 mm (3/4 in) holes in concrete. Note: The holes must be at least 150 mm (6 in) deep.
1	Drill bit for concrete embedded rebar, round 19 mm (3/4 in) bit size 12.5 mm (1/2 in) shank diameter 305 mm (12 in) length overall	Drill 19 mm (3/4 in) hole through rebar.
1	Nylon loop handle brush 19 mm (3/4 in) brush diameter 75 mm (3 in) length brush 216 mm (8 1/2 in) length overall	Clean drilled holes.
1	Push-on round cap, fits 16 mm (5/8 in) - 17.5 mm (11/16 in) OD, 12.7 mm (1/2 in) inside height, pack of 100	Keeps the epoxy inside the drilled holes in situations where the slab is only 150 mm (6 in) deep.

Installation Instructions

The installation instructions are as follows:

1. Remove the lower template and all nuts and washers from below the upper template.

   

2. Place the lower template on the concrete and mark the hole locations.

   • When placing the template, consider the charging station’s total footprint.

   • If installing over an existing conduit stub-up or armored cable, position the center of the template around that stub-up or armored cable.

   

3. Remove the template and drill three 19 mm (0.75 in) diameter holes 250 mm (9.85 in) deep into the concrete.

   • You may need two drill bits: one for the concrete (with the pilot) and another for the rebar (without the pilot). Always start the hole using the standard drill bit, and then switch to the rebar drill bit only if drilling through rebar.

   

4. Remove all dust from inside the drilled holes using compressed air, a vacuum, or a brush.

5. Remove the bolts from the upper template.

6. Fill each hole with epoxy to about 65 to 75 mm (2.5 to 3 in) below the top of the hole. Continue immediately to the next step because the epoxy sets quickly.

Inserting the threaded bolts displaces the epoxy, causing it to fill the holes to the grade level. If the epoxy is below grade level after the next step, add more epoxy.

7. Place the upper template over the holes.

8. Insert the bolts through the upper template into the holes.

   Rotate the bolts as you insert them. This allows the epoxy to fully coat the threads of the bolts, reducing the amount of trapped air.
Leave the upper template in place.

9. Use a bubble level to ensure the bolts are plumb.

10. Allow the epoxy to cure (depending on cure times recommended by the epoxy manufacturer).

You are now ready to install the CP6000 pedestal mount charging station.

Wall-Mount Specifications

For wall mounted stations:

• The wall must be smooth, stable, and plumb.

• The minimum height of the wall must be 1160 mm (45.7 in) above a finished floor.

• Place wheel stops 900 mm (3 ft) (a) from the wall.

• The arcs show the usable reach of two charging cable lengths available, 5.5 m (18 ft) (b) and 7 m   (23 ft) (c).

  Ensure the space between the wall and the charging station is clear and free of debris.

  

Drainage

Ensure any slopes, walls, or fencing at the site do not trap water around the charging station installation site. The system is only built to withstand water to the height of the conduit stub-up.

Clearances

For pedestal installations, the conduit stub-up must be a minimum of 230 mm (9 in) from any obstructions to the rear. This includes other charging stations. Check applicable codes for any additional clearance requirements.

Accessibility

Comply with regional accessibility laws, regulations, and ordinances. The CP6000 charging station must not block ramps or pathways and the height of the interactive display cannot exceed the maximum height as dictated by local laws.

Signage

Refer to local and regional code to design the following elements for the site:

• Any required re-striping of parking spaces

• EV Electric Vehicle or Accessible EV Electric Vehicle signs

• EV Electric Vehicle or Accessible EV Electric Vehicle paint markings on and around the parking spaces
