Is there a trick to open the home charger cover? It slides up easy enough but not far enough to come off.

Electricians were able to install 100 amp 220v charger and set the dip switches to 80amps. It works great! I have solar producing at peak 40amps so I need to buy the other 40amps from the power company. I would like to reset the dip switches for 40amps. They are located inside the cover that does not seem to be able to come off. Is there a trick to pull the first cover that says “LUCID” off? Thank you!

Slide the cover upwards about half an inch. Then pull it straight off. Both actions require a great deal of force and you'll think you are going to break it, or rip it off the wall if it is already wall-mounted. It gets easier the third or fourth time you've had the cover off.

Ten months later, thanks for this reply. I’m having one installed now, and that was a head scratcher. There are three plastic tabs on each side that need to be aligned, and you “work” them off.
