Maybe I don't understand where you're coming from when you mentioned 'drop[ping] the cord'. The cable won't retract when you let it go. If you want to hang it on a hook on the wall, that is fine. It'll probably take a fraction of a second to push the end into the wall mount slot.
. The manuals on the floor are in 40 languages.....only about 6 pages of all that is English. Incredible.
So true on AC (Level 2) charging on either side of car. DC only on passenger side.
Thanks, this is very helpful. But I’m still trying to figure out where I should have the 14-50 outlet installed for the dock. You’re saying that it covers the plug? Maybe that other thread you mentioned would help? Do you have a link? I can’t find it. I’m looking for the dimensions of the dock, and where the outlet should be relative to the dock location.Hope this helps someone else......as others have tried to educate me, I think I'm finally coming up to speed.
I now see there's another thread with a parts list and drawing.....I missed that earlier.
Took delivery of the 1st Taycan in our market and seeing this stuff in the flesh helps.
The 'Dock' comes in a large box.....Mobile Charger Connect, on the right, in a heavy plastic rap......both were in the trunk. The black Cocker Spaniel is just for scale
The next shot below is stuff out and unwrapped.
The 'Dock' is pretty hefty and significant. It will cover your electricians 14-50 plug. Two short cables come w/the Mobil Charger Connect kit......one for that 14-50 plug, the other for a regular wall outlet. Either one then plugs into the MCC control box which mounts in the dock with it's op. panel flush w/the face of the dock.
I'm impressed w/the quality of all......and looking forward to how it will look in my garage. BTW.....I am probably the last to know this but......on the N.American Left-hand drives, the AC power point is on the left side..........your DC (Fast Charger) point is on the right.
right.e.
Ah, ok, I now see what you mean. For some reason I thought that there was a small opening in the back for the dock to fit over the outlet. So it sounds like the whole back of the dock is open. That makes it easier to have some wiggle room for locating the dock on the wall. But how deep is it? It looks really big in your picture. My car parks only two feet from the wall to its side in my garage. It looks like it will be difficult to walk between the dock and the car. I'm wondering if I should mount the dock as high as I can because of that.
Actually, you are more correct; the Charging Dock has an opening on the back large enough for a standard NEMA 14-50 receptacle, with a little space for wiggle room. It also comes with a mounting plate and spacer to accommodate a recessed or protruding outlet. Here's a page from the installation guide that I found via Googling.
