With winter starting I decided to protect my home charging station from freezing rain. Just sharing with you guys because it only cost me $29 to do so as I simply bought a carpet for car trunks at Walmart. Since it was large, I cut it in two so I even have a spare in case the one I installed ever rips.
And this has the added benefit of making my charging station less visible from the street since the carpet hides the light from the EVDuty40.
I am hiding my evduty behind my fence but the cable and connector will be in the front.
This solution might work behind the fence but I doubt my gf would agree to something this ugly visible in the front
No offence...
Since I tend to overengineer things I'm planning on making a small sloped roof over the cable and connector, out of a treated wood structure with cedar shingles.
At the rate my home renovations are going lately, this should be completed in a few years...
Francois, I might choose a different way to do it, but I appreciate the nudge to think about this and get it working before the next snowfall. Yours is definitely better on a windy freezing rain day than a normal 'weather hat' design. Congrats on your Kona, too!
