Canopy, cover or code-lock enclosure: find the right EV charger shelter for your wall-mounted wallbox or pedestal charger, against rain, snow or prying hands. Free shipping in France from €65.

An EV charger shelter does not meet just one need: a canopy covers the top of a wallbox while you charge, a cover protects an idle charger, and a steel enclosure adds a physical barrier around the unit. Compare the options, then check your charger’s dimensions and manual.

How to measure your EV charger before ordering

  1. Record the three dimensions of the unit: height, width and depth, at the point where it sticks out furthest.
  2. Add the plugged-in connector: the handle often protrudes below or to the side of the charger. Measure the whole assembly as it is while charging.
  3. Note the clearances in the manual: the space to keep free for ventilation, controls and maintenance.
  4. Spot any obstacles: gutter, wall corner, meter, light fitting.
  5. For an enclosure, compare the usable interior space with the unit and its clearances, not just the outside dimensions.

To compare with reference dimensions, see our size chart of 24 wall-mounted EV chargers.

Send these measurements, a photo and your charger’s model reference via our contact form: we will check compatibility with you.

Wall-mounted wallbox or pedestal charger: two different approaches

On a wall-mounted wallbox, the wall already protects the back. A wallbox roof such as the Shelter canopy covers the top and leaves the front clear: you charge without removing anything. For a long period without use, the Cover takes over.

A pedestal charger is exposed on all sides. When it is not in use, the Cover Post wraps around it; remove it to charge. Organising the parking space calls for other solutions, gathered in our charging space security and anti-theft collection.

Outdoor EV charger shelter: carport, outside wall or car park?

Under a carport, the roof already stops part of the rain and snow: check whether rain comes in from the side before adding a canopy. On an exposed outside wall with no roof overhang, the rain protection a canopy provides really makes sense. In a shared car park, the issue is often access to the unit: the Vault enclosure is a better answer than a roof. Season by season, our guide to protecting an outdoor EV charger rounds out this choice.

What a shelter does not do

  • It does not change the charger’s IP rating. An indoor charger remains an indoor charger, even under a roof. See our guide to EV charger IP and IK ratings.
  • It does not repair anything. Water ingress or a cracked housing calls for a professional diagnosis.
  • A cover is not used while charging, unless the charger manufacturer gives written permission.
  • An enclosure does not make a charger tamper-proof. It makes opportunistic access harder; its ventilation must be approved by your installer.
  • It does not cover the vehicle’s charging socket. For the charging flap, see the Port charging port cover.

Frequently asked questions

Does an outdoor EV charger always need a shelter?

No. A charger designed for outdoor use does not necessarily need one. A shelter helps limit direct exposure to rain, snow or dirt, or covers a charger that is not in use. Check your model’s manual.

Can I charge with the Shelter canopy in place?

Yes, that is what it is for: it covers the top of the charger and leaves the socket accessible, provided the plugged-in connector and the clearances in the manual remain free.

What is the difference between the Cover and the Cover Post?

Cover is designed for a wall-mounted charger, Cover Post for a pedestal charger. Both are used while the charger is idle and are removed before charging.

Does the Vault enclosure fit every wallbox?

No. Compare your charger’s dimensions and clearances with the two sizes available, then have the fit approved by your installer.

What are the shipping costs and return conditions?

Free standard shipping in France on orders from €65; €12.90 to the European Union, free on orders from €149. Returns within 14 days, subject to our terms.

FAQ

Your questions, answered.

Does an EV charger shelter make my charger waterproof?

No. A canopy, cover or enclosure does not change the IP rating declared by the manufacturer. They limit direct exposure or access to the unit.

Can the Shelter canopy be fitted to any wall?

Fixing depends on the type of wall. Check the surface, choose suitable anchors and, if in doubt, have the installation approved by a professional.

Can I combine a canopy and an enclosure?

They meet two different needs: weather exposure and access to the unit. Before combining them, check the space required, ventilation and maintenance access with your installer.

Does a charger shelter also protect my car’s charging port?

No. The shelter stays by the charger. For the vehicle’s charging flap, see the Port cover, to be checked against your bodywork.
