Can a parking space not against the wall install a charging pile?

It is possible to install a charging pile in a parking space that is not against the wall, as long as it does not exceed the boundaries of your own parking space. Conditions required for installing a charging pile: First, you need a fixed parking space and must obtain the "Authorization Letter for Installing Charging Equipment" from the property management unit. Generally, the property company will verify the on-site conditions and agree to the installation of a private charging pile. They will then sign and stamp the "New Energy Passenger Vehicle Purchase and Charging Condition Confirmation Letter," after which you can apply for electricity installation. Bring your original ID card and the "New Energy Passenger Vehicle Purchase and Charging Condition Confirmation Letter" to the local district power supply office to apply for the charging facility electricity installation. Charging pile options: Home charging piles can be categorized technically by voltage into 380-volt and 220-volt options. You can choose the official brand charging pile for your electric vehicle or opt for a third-party charging pile. Third-party charging piles offer better compatibility and lower costs compared to brand-specific charging piles.
As an EV technology enthusiast, I believe installing charging stations in non-wall parking spaces is completely feasible. There are freestanding charging posts available on the market that can be directly anchored to the ground using bolts or concrete foundations to ensure stability. The key installation factor is power accessibility - you need to consider wiring from the nearest distribution box, as longer distances will increase cable costs and installation difficulty. When selecting a charger, opt for models with IP67 waterproof rating to prevent rain damage. I recommend consulting professional installers to assess ground load-bearing capacity and avoid loosening risks. Overall, as long as stable power supply is ensured and collision risks with pedestrians/vehicles are mitigated, the installation process is straightforward and efficient, significantly improving daily charging convenience.
My parking spot is in the middle of the residential area, not against a wall. Last year, I successfully installed a charging station and have been very satisfied with the experience. During installation, I invited technicians over, and they recommended a floor-mounted fixed solution, which cost about 2,000 yuan extra for the cable. The whole process went smoothly, with wiring and testing completed within a day. The only minor challenge was filling the drilled holes with sealant to prevent water seepage. Now, charging is automatically taken care of daily, eliminating the hassle of queuing for charging. Everyone shouldn’t worry about the wall issue; just choose the right location to avoid vehicle collisions. Personally, I feel the investment has a high return, and subsequent maintenance only requires wiping off dust and checking cable connections.
