Plan a Future Upgrade
You can use the same Concrete Mounting Template (CMT) to install an Express 250 or an Express 280 now, and in the future, reuse the same concrete pad for an Express Plus Power Link 1000.
If you initially install the template for an Express Plus Power Link 1000, it is not possible to reuse the same concrete pad later for liquid cooled charging cables.
Instructions
Install the template for future compatibility to upgrade later:
-
Install anchor bolts in the template at the locations required for the current station only.
-
Install conduits for both current AND future stations in the concrete now.
Future conduit stub-ups must rise at least 25 mm (1 in) above grade, but not higher than 33 mm (1.3 in), to prevent interference with the current station. -
Do not pull future wires through until you upgrade the station.
Note About Future Upgrades
In the future, when the station is swapped, installers can cut the old anchor bolts and stub-ups to grade level if required.
They will drill new anchor bolts and epoxy them in place using another ChargePoint upgrade template.
At the time of that future installation, installers will need to use an approved method to extend the conduit stub-ups and seal all gaps. Consult the Installation Guide and site drawings for that station for more detail.
For Example Only
Express 250 Standalone or Express 280 Standalone to Express Plus Power Link 1000
This example shows the conduit and anchor bolt locations to install an Express 250 Standalone or Express 280 Standalone that you will upgrade to an Express Plus Power Link 1000 in the future:

Upgrades Will Vary.
This is a specific example. Other upgrade configurations will vary.
You must consult the specific configurations for your upgrade and include both current and future conduits.
