Description
The exterior weatherproof GFCI outlet, now fully energized by SLS Electric. The outlet was physically installed during the March 31 visit but was not yet connected to a breaker. Today’s visit completed the wiring, making this outlet live. Verified operational by plugging in a small shop light. This is the outlet that can provide Level 1 (120V/20A) EV charging as an interim solution.
Visible Elements

- Weatherproof cover: “ExtraDuty” clear in-use cover allowing access while protecting from weather; hinged transparent lid

Notes
This outlet was included in the SLS Electric quote as part of the 200A service package. The ExtraDuty in-use cover allows cords to remain plugged in during rain/snow while maintaining weatherproof protection.
