one of the things we do at $dayjob, is for every one of our EV charger installations - our installation partner has to take a photo of the charger during the go live step which then gets reviewed by our installs team in real time to make sure it meets our own standards, and, if there are any ADA space requirements it meets those.

i’ve seen so many of these images over the years, as we all have, and this recent one had us all in awe at how beautifully clean the install is.

as a cable management aficionado, this image makes me so happy i have to keep going back and looking at it.

so fresh and so clean clean.

@SecureOwl Are the bollards there to keep the knuckle-draggers away or are they part part of the requirement?

@Spartan_1986 @SecureOwl I was wondering that too. They look much older than the charger.

Design suggestion: The flat lid on the charger invites people to put down their phones, sunglasses, wallets etc. If this becomes a problem, consider testing a shape that doesn't invite that. That way fewer people will forget their expensive accessories on top of the charger when they leave.

It could be slanted or rounded, for example.

@mjausson @Spartan_1986 For an install like that yeah, bollards are part of the standard. Otherwise they just get driven into immediately.

Our next gen pedestal does have the slanty top bit.
