See the PDF linked below. The diagram for the relative position of the electrical box shown on the last page is actually misleading. They show a box recessed into the wall. That would be a "Flush Mount" installation but the location shown is proper for the "Surface Mount" installation which would have a metal box completely outside the wall. For a true flush mount, the box recessed into the wall must be above the mounting bracket. Look at Page 2 to see the two versions and their plug locations.http://toyota.leviton.com/sites/toyota.leviton.com/files/Toyota_NextGen40A_Bundle.pdfExcerpt from above Leviton PDFNote the position of the box to the left of the stud. This is important for both the flush mount and surface mount because the only mounting holes Leviton provides are on the centerline of the unit. My electrician put the box on the right side of the stud, so I had to install a piece of plywood on top of the drywall so that I would have something to securely screw the EVSE to. I intentionally did not purchase or use the mounting bracket, I just bought some short 1/4" Lag Screws and screwed the unit directly to the plywood.Apparently, centering electrical boxes 48" above the finished floor is standard for garage outlets. My electrician did that without my input during construction. It resulted in a very comfortable height for the flush mount unit. I would put the box 28" above the floor for a surface mount installation.That is the currently unused NEMA 14-50 outlet on the other side of my garage in case people don't know what a surface mount box looks like. This one is surface mounted because that wall is a concrete retaining wall and it didn't make sense to cut into the concrete.
