Publication number: 20220289054Abstract: An electric vehicle charger charging apparatus is configured to suspend from a canopy and connect to an electric vehicle from above the vehicle. The canopy has a purlin frame and supports a photovoltaic module for generating electricity. The electric vehicle charging apparatus suspends from the purlin frame of the canopy by a mounting structure. The mounting structure includes a first vertical brace and a second vertical brace having bottom connection points connectable to mounting points on a vehicle charger and top connection points connectable to a block brace coupled to the purlin frame. The mounting points on the vehicle charger are level to horizontal ground surface and the canopy is sloped with respect to the horizontal ground surface such that the second vertical brace has a greater length between the top and bottom connection points than the first vertical brace.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2022Publication date: September 15, 2022Inventors: Jeff Palmer, Chris Pettigrew, Erik Andreas Karlsson
