- "Mechanical protection" is required by electrical code to protect the charger from being damaged by a vehicle.
- We recommend wheel stops rather than bollards or metal shrouds as these are often hit by vehicles and cause damage to paint, bumpers, etc.
- They are mounted 42" (107 cm) from the wall to the wheel side of the curb, they do not incumber the stall or cause vehicles to protrude into the drive isle.

- Of the thousands we have installed to date, we have never had an issue with a parking stall being compromised due to a wheel stop.
