Oh right, yeah if you are hard wiring you are probably using conduit - I was just looking at the strain relief for the cable for the connector wire and the knock out seems to be the same size, so you could (in theory) use the same strain relief if you wanted to wire it that way. Where I am...
According to the installation guide, there is a knock out on the bottom and you would need a strain relief connector even if hard wiring it that way so it's not much different. The only issue would be the added impedance from the physical plug, but again, as long as you are within spec (ie using...
Oh, I know - a lot of EVSE manufacturers "only" allow hardwired. But there is almost no difference to connecting a 14-50 plug on the end (of course, if you want to use the higher amperage you would definitely want to hard wire it). I know the answer is more nuanced than this and maybe for less...
Gotcha - I was just going to install a 14-50 outlet anyways so that's easy enough, but I was wanting to replace my existing EVSE with the Rivian model sooner than later (I currently have a Bolt EV with a generic EVSE and wanted the higher amperage - the one I'm using only allows 24A).
Does anyone have any indication when the wall charger will be available for purchase on their website? I plan on doing some renos this summer and it would be nice if I could install it then.
