You've got this.
Boba is so easy to set up and use you probably don't need instructions — but here they are. Plan on about 30 minutes to mount it, plus ten minutes of app setup.
- About 30 minutes, start to finish
- Every screw and anchor is in the box
- 2-year manufacturer warranty
Three things to check
Pick a mounting spot with strong Wi-Fi and a 240V outlet within reach. Everything else takes about 30 minutes.
A 240V outlet within reach
The plug-in model goes straight into the same kind of outlet a dryer, welder or RV hookup uses.
Strong Wi-Fi at the mounting spot
The charger runs on your Wi-Fi network, so check the signal at the spot on the wall before you drill.
A drill, screwdriver and hammer
Plus a drill bit sized for the included wall anchors. That is the whole tool list.
Mount it on the wall
Every screw, anchor and sticker you need ships in the box.
- 1
Pick the spot
A wall with strong Wi-Fi, near where the car parks and within cable reach of the outlet.
- 2
Apply the alignment sticker
Stick it on straight, at the height you want the charger to sit.
- 3
Drill the three holes
Use a bit sized for the included anchors, then tap the anchors in with a hammer.
- 4
Open the enclosure
Unlock the charger from the side with the included key to expose the interior mounting holes.
- 5
Screw it to the wall
Line up the holes, drive the three mounting screws and tighten. Close the charger and lock it with the key.
- 6
Plug it in
Into the 240V outlet. The light flashes green when the charger is in standby and ready to rent.
Hardwired models are wired in by an electrician - 7
Secure the plug — optional
The Boba PowerGuard lock box locks the charger's plug to the outlet so it cannot be unplugged.

Indicator lights & quick answers
What do the indicator lights mean?
Green flashing — standby, ready to rent. Yellow on — plugged in, charging is starting. Green solid — charging normally. Red on — faulty, check the Emergency Stop button.
The light is red. What do I do?
Pull the Emergency Stop button out to release it, then unplug the charger and plug it back in. The light will flash green.
How do I change my price or my hours?
Tap the charger on the app's main screen and edit the settings.
The charger will not connect.
It needs stable Wi-Fi at the mounting spot, and your phone has to be on that same network while you set it up.
Can I charge my own car for free?
Yes. Toggle Payments off in the app, connect the cable and tap Start Charging.
Can family use it without paying?
Trusted family and friends can sign in with your owner credentials, and multiple simultaneous logins are allowed.
