At the 1:55 mark or so, the wires are coming out of the wall. What are they coming through. It looks like something better than just a hole in the Sheetrock.

My electrician ran a 6/3 copper with ground. 4 wires. Can that be used to hardwire this?

Questions - Bottom of outer cover/face-plate has spot for 2 screws but the screws did not come with the unit. The video at time mark 1:32 shows the screws holes in the lower cover, but does not show removal or, later, installation of the screws. Are these screws not used anymore? Thanks.

Does it require a GFCI breaker in the main panel or the charger already has a GFCI protection??

Do the cables need to come into it from the wall or can they come in from underneath via a conduit ?

Can the ground wire be 12awg and 2 - 6 awg for L1 & L2?

I have issue with ChargePoint CPH50 charger with Nema 14-50 GFCI Plug outlet. No issue when it’s charging. My circuit breaker randomly shuts off when it is not charging or unplugged from car charger port. Does anyone else had such issue ? If charger is hardwired instead of Nema14-50, will that solve this issue?

My charger is flashing alternate yellow and purple. I can't find anywhere online that says purple is even a colour option. Does anyone know what this means and how to fix it? Thanks!

Is there no ground neutral wire ? Coming from the electric panel ?

Why doesn't charge point recommend plugin for 30 AMP breaker?

I am confused. I understand that the Home Flex can only accept 6 AWG in the terminals but it takes 2 AWG for an 80A circuit?

Doesn’t the limit of wire size effectively limit the input to the device because of building code?

I am building a home now and really want to know what I need to do to get the 80A advertised but after talking to support I don’t believe it’s possible so either I’m mistaken or the marketing is misleading.
