Enclosure rating

Watertight NEMA Type 4, indoor and outdoor.

NEMA or UL 50E Type 4 and Type 3R describe different protection classes. A rating is the manufacturer's statement, not a test of your mounting location.

The guide suggests mounting outdoors right-side up under cover where possible; that is the manufacturer's tip, not a rating condition we have verified.

Questions to check before buying

The store option label reads CCS / J1772 while the guide names an SAE J1772 connector; this record treats the cable as a J1772 AC connector and makes no DC fast-charging claim.

The store page lists a dedicated 60A+ dual pole breaker for 48 A, while the guide says the hardwired unit connects only to a circuit with 60 A maximum branch-circuit overcurrent protection. Ask Emporia or your electrician which statement applies.
