You skipped the bit where you switch off the power before doing the wiring and I killed myself. Cheers lad.

[@TrendyStone]

I’ve installed two Tesla Wall Connectors the run power sharing off one 60 amp breaker. Easy install…except for pulling the thick cable through conduit.

[@BerkeleyTowers]

WTF? Using a hammer to get the plugs in?? Everyone knows you use the battery on the cordless. Get a grip.

[@Baerschi100]

Or the grip of the screwdriver or the pliers or the phone. But never the hammer :D. We all did it

[@quackieshoebill1019]

Dump questions, isnt that bad for the battery's circuitry??

[@Baerschi100]

@@quackieshoebill1019 could be. But dropping the drill could damage it too. And I think a drop is harder then a little tappi tap on a plug.

[@CEO786]

I always use a rubber mallet when I’m putting plugs in walls

[@hirroplus]

​@@quackieshoebill1019If the screwdriver is shock-resistant, then it is even useful because it knocks dust off the engine.

[@philjordan1749]

There is of course the small matter of getting the supply to the EV charger unit in the first place...

[@ProXcaliber]

That’s the problem for me. I can do the EV charger part, but I can’t get the supply for the main box.

[@jagarcogheart]

Only showed the easy part. You still have to configure the thing and add load balancing.

[@aminkhan736]

which amp circuit break did you use

[@donvakuum]

That really is unbelievable!!! I could have never believed, that mounting a box to a wall and connecting it to the mains is soooooo easy. /s

[@urjnlegend]

For anyone who does work with electrical wires (not romex particularly), the Knipex tool he uses to take the outer jacket off the wire bundle is totally worth it. Game changer

[@konstantine381]

I could spend an ungodly amount of money on knipexb😂

I was about to ask about those. Nifty. Need one in my life!

[@justme5384]

Easee is similar to that, just mount the baseplate, connect cables, set the charger on top and screw secure

[@andrewstafford-jones4291]

Don't worry. I bet he still plastered the swa cable feed around the building like a drunk spider had installed it.

[@djdaisy6831]

Did the cable gland came with the charger?? If not what is it called and where did you get it from Thanks

[@charliedecker7702]

So no mechanical protection on the rising cable? Is that Hi-Ruf ? BS compilant?

[@timonkuschke3861]

Is there a 3 phase version of it or is it just single phase?

[@iangregoryhome]

Could you please send a link for those no backing nut glands 🙏

[@fus149hammer5]

Surely there's more to it than that? I had one installed as part of me buying the electric London cab. I had to take and forward photos of my consumer unit, driveway and side of my house for the survey. They also upgraded the RCD that powered the charger and the paperwork???? I'm pretty sure that unless it's fitted by a qualified sparky and certified to the current regulations you might invalidate your home insurance in the event of the unit going up in flames and taking your house with it. Yes you can fit one yourself but at your own risk.

[@efixx]

It’s not a DIY job

[@thelred-ph3lq]

Don't trust those plugs/expansions. Used similar ones for a mailbox, and someone ripped it from the wall, expansions and all...😂

[@EricWAtchesVideos]

I am curious about the loops that the installer makes in the wires. What is the purpose? Won't that cause some issues with induction and heating in the adjacent wires?

[@maxamps45]

i prefer the music over the usual asmr crap.

[@smokin999uk]

No EV for me, on a looped system with neighbour, dont know if im allowed one even with load monitoring. Not digging up driveways...

Oh the irony, a regs book bigger than the New Testament, yet a fence is considered a "permanent structure". Tell it to the wind boys, tell it to the wind. And I don't think the neighbour will be happy when he finds out you've just blown through the panel.

It's easy, I just did it. Put a breaker in the panel, and run two hits wires and a ground.

*AC Charging Output: 7.4kW, 32A@230V AC* this "charger" doesn't have any electronics other than some leds, it's just a fancy wall socket for a fancy plug. You could rig the EV using this thing to use regular plug like every home appliance since all the charging electronics are contained within the EV. But hey, this way you wouldn't pay 700 BRITISH POUNDS FOR A PIECE OF PLASTIC.

@@efixx nothing probably just because there are pins doesnt mean they do something as if often is the case with such scam products

@@Morlev44 Prove it. The burden is on you to do it since you made the claim. Looking forward to your video findijng it out.

[@Morlev44]

@@Luka1180 There's nothing to prove. All batteries are charged with DC and EV quickcharging relies on dumping lots of DC amps straight into EV battery. This thing outputs AC (source: manufacturer website) like it's straight from mains (*because it is*), meaning the heavy lifting of rectifying the AC current has to be done by your EV. The only thing this charg- product provides is beefier, 32amp rated connector, proprietary plug shape and some leds. The 32amp rated cables, fuses, etc for this fancy wall socket you still need to install yourself. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if this entire video was a covert ad for this product.
