  • Patent number: 12107448
    Abstract: A charging station for providing power connections, charging and/or data connections includes one or more wiring devices mounted to a power module that slides in the housing of the main assembly of the charging station such that each wiring device is recessed from the outer surface of the charging station. A back wall of the power module serves as a barrier between different branch circuits for code compliance. The charging station includes a cover assembly with a sloped upper surface and is constructed so that most of the required electrical connections are made on the power module prior to the assembly of the charging station.
