Hello, please quick advice tomorrow morning my electrician is coming to install my 50amp and nema 14-50 in my garage approx 25ft across the garage from 3rd stall right wall (when facing from outside) by fuse box across to first stall left wall. For starters I will only have the PMC+ that comes with the car. (car arrives in a couple weeks) I thought I had read to get the plug installed upside down in case you get a charging box to accommodate the bend in cord?

Any other items to look ask for when he installs tomorrow?

Thank You,
Dan

I actually had it flipped with ground at 6 o'clock so I don't have to bend the cable. My outlet was closer to the floor so PMCC had to be above it. PMCC is upside down but that is not a problem since the info on screen is useless.

In my opinion the best insrallation is with the outlet installed about 14 inch higher than the top of PMCC and ground at 12 o'clock.
I also attach a picture with a tape measure so you can get an idea how long the supply cable is.

I did not want to have mine hanging so close to the floor to avoid my kid breaking it with the bike. That is why it is installed above the outlet and it is upside down.
