Clipper Creek charger was $1058.23 with shipping and tax included. Installation by an electrician was $1440.30. I asked the electrician to run the conduit vice opening up walls. I went with the Clipper Creek because its a simple charger requiring no applications. The charger comes with a 25ft charging cord and seems more durable then the ford charge station pro. I decided not to do the home integration as I can run extension cords in a jam if needed and I dont see the truck lasting for more than 3 days if used for whole home integration. My truck arrives tomorrow and I'll post a follow up on Clipper Creek charging times. Pictures included of installation and panel. Happy to answer any questions on what was used and why.

I went with the HCS-60 (48 Charging AMPs on a 60AMP breaker) because the charging time for the HCS-80 was not truly that much faster. This setup will let me plug in at night and leave in the morning with 100% charge no issues. You'll notice a lockout bar on the panel which was put in place to meet code requirements given the charger is not within line of sight of the panel. I went with an outdoor mounted unit because I didn't want to leave the garage open for charging overnight and the truck is much too large to fit in the garage. Thanks all, open to any and all feedback. Hope this helps someone!

If you are in Moore County, NC I'll gladly refer you to my electrician just send a pm.

I’ve been running a Clipper Creek HCS-30 for almost 5 years and haven’t even had to do a reset on it. It has been rock-solid the whole time.
