Can i use this hcs-50p charger for my 2014 smart fortwo electric drive for now and later for my telsa model 3?

Yes, the HCS-50P can be used to charge the Smart ForTwo ED and the Tesla Model 3. Tesla vehicles have a proprietary connector so you would need to use the Tesla adapter to connector to the standard SAE J1772 connector that our charging stations utilize. The adapter typically comes with the Tesla vehicle.

What is the estimated useful life of station, possibly 7 or 10 years? When is replacement of the unit expected?

Like any major household appliance - dishwasher, stove, refrigerator, etc. - we expect the average life expectancy of our stations to be about 10 years or more. The stations are tested to go through about 10,000 cycles of initiating and stopping a charge. Also, our owner has been building/designing charging stations since the mid 90's and has stations from back then still operational to this day. We strive to provide the same durability and reliability which is why all of our products are manufactured and tested here in our facility here in Auburn, CA.

What's the difference between the 40 and 40P unit?

The HCS-40 is a hardwired version and would come with 3 feet on flexible conduit coming of out of the bottom with the wiring sticking out from the conduit another 6 inches for an electrician to use to wire the station to power. The HCS-40P is a plug-in version, which is available with either the NEMA 14-50 or NEMA 6-50 plug, and would plug into the matching outlet. The hardwired HCS-40 is recommended for outdoor installations as the plug-in versions have an indoor rating only.

What is the gauge of the wire going to the car, 10 or 8 awg? Oh and if you know, how stiff is it when used in cold(less than 32F) conditions?

There are three wires inside the J1772 charging cable that are 10 gauge wires and one wire that is 18 gauge. The cable and jacketing are designed to be as flexible as possible even in cold weather. Also, the conductors are made up of thin strand copper to allow for maximum flexibility. At lower temperatures the cable will become stiffer than it would be in warmer temperatures, but the cable is still flexible enough for easy use and storage through the full temperature range of the product (-22F - +120F).
