Hey,
I'm meeting with an electrician today to talk over installing an outdoor NEMA 14-50 outlet for charging my Model S. It'll either be completely out in the open or partially covered by the edge of a car port. Either way, it'll get a lot of wind/rain because we're just a few hundred feet from the ocean in a very windy part of North Carolina. Lots of northeasters will be hitting it.
Any advice on the best way to protect the outlet? I won't be using it too often because I'll either not be at the house or I'll be there during the summer when I don't drive too much, so I don't mind putting it inside some sort of covering. Maybe even with a lock.
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance for any help,
Rob
