Is that an outlet specifically meant for EV charging? If it’s one of those cheap ones it’ll melt very quickly and cause massive issues. I would highly recommend the wall connector
@YourFloridaElectrician
@YourFloridaElectrician 26 күн бұрын
Hey Will. The outlet is one the Homeowner had removed and installed the wall connector there. He was not satisfied with the charging speed at 20 amps or so. (30 amp rated circuit) So he asked me to hardwire his wall connector to a 60-amp circuit. The outlet is the original that was there when the house was built so I'm sure it is not an EV rated outlet. I know he planned on using that outlet with his mobile connector but only if it was necessary, so I was not too worried about the outlet itself because it was going to be lightly used if used at all. Thank you for watching and commenting!! 😀

@ good that he will use the wall connector primarily. I had a certified electrician install one of those NEMA 14-50 outlets for us and they used a cheap outlet without telling us and it melted within a month. Needless to say I had them come out and get a wall connector provisioned but the scars still remain from that experience. Hope they enjoy that wall connector!

No dumb questions. Only the ones that are not asked. Bobby, the device I had there previously had its own “whip “ from the manufacturer. Not all manufacturers allow you to hardwire their devices. This one specifically allowed for it to run directly to the EV charger. In this case I would’ve had to pull a new run of number six wires which I didn’t wanna do. You’re absolutely right it would be better in the long run to have less connections. Just down the road I’ll be changing this one to another. Thank you for watching and commenting.

@YourFloridaElectrician
@YourFloridaElectrician Ай бұрын
Well Karl, The Ev charger is strictly 240 volts, no neutral needed. The plugged version 6/3 has that configuration because everyone is installing a NEMA 14-50 or range outlet which as two hot, one neutral and ground. The neutral on the plug going to the EV charger is not wired because it doesn't need it. A range on the other hand uses the neutral wire because it has 120-volt loads. Like the display and when certain heating levels of the cook top are desired. Hope this answers your question.

This company is by far the worst I’ve dealt with. I’ve written a few reviews about them, highlighting issues from their non-existent support to the time an employee called me, begging me to change my 1-star review because they feared being fired. The unit lacks a reset button, so when it freezes, you’re left with no choice but to cut power at the breaker. After charging, the EV often no longer recognizes the charger as connected unless you physically disconnect it, reset the breaker, or go into the app to “force” a start. As for the hardware, it’s incredibly frustrating. Until recently, you couldn’t even buy a hardware version; you had to remove and hardwire the plug. Worse, you couldn’t simply wire in the end because the plug wiring was undersized for the required load (cheap). Then there’s the problem with the connectors-the tight spaces and odd sizing make it nearly impossible to find the right connectors that can handle the voltage safely. My experience has been terrible from start to finish, from unboxing the unit to dealing with their lackluster support and even receiving those desperate calls about changing my review. And the constant freezing and locking up of the unit? Just another headache. The company’s marketing is just as questionable. Every KZbin review seems to be from someone who either received the unit for free or was paid to advertise it. Notice how you never see genuine reviews from regular homeowners or businesses? That alone should make you think... why is that ?

Question, re the long dashboard lightbar I have the trim off as you describe but stuck on how to feed the connector through the trim side hole into the interior of the glovebox, looks like you run it though some gap at the bottom of the closest side of the curved bracket in the glovebox but for the life of me cannot work out how to get the connector from outside to inside of the glovebox. Any tips/tricks much appreciated.

@pjjt4396
@pjjt4396 2 ай бұрын
Thanks mate, the challenge I had was yes you can poke the cable through the hole on the trim side, just no corresponding hole in the glovebox inside. Finally worked out that it needed to route into the glovebox via a small gap in/around the closest side of the glovebox "lever". A really tricky job, after 1/2 an hr of no luck and cursing madly, finally resorted to get a piece of thin wire as a conduit to connect the 2 holes and get the cable through. Maybe things are a little different for my 2024 MY RHD, but def not a simple job for a DIYer. Also another note for others, the dash light strip I was supplied was 110mm long but the length of the dashboard vent is 135mm, so unless I got sent the wrong product you need to start sticking the dashboard LED lights approx 100mm (4 inch) from the end. It would be a much better product if the LED light length fitted the whole length of the dash!
