[@yeniamejias8126]

Thank you so much for your video! It helped so much, there was a step we were missing and thanks to you we figured it out!!

[@Rupes0610]

Awesome video, great to see these are coming out! Can’t wait to get one once my Blazer SS EV arrives this fall 🤞

Buying a 2024 Cadillac lyriq for my parents. What is the best charger to optimize charging capabilities of the car battery?

[@thenetworkarchitectchannel]

Exciting! Thx 4 the vid.

[@ricardoestradaaleman7812]

Hi David! Sorry, I don't know where the neutral cable (white) is connected to the equipment, could you help me tell me where it is connected? That would help me a lot! Greetings!

[@markrandazzo9370]

Do not connect it anywhere. This is a straight 240 volt. No neutral loads.

[@sixpackyoung9698]

Mine got installed but it slow charging as hell.I already have 200 miles juice left, but the car said expecting the charging complete at 11am not the next day but the day after.

[@miamiloco69]

Hi David, for hard wire do you recommend a 50 or 60 amp breaker?

[@rubenortega6088]

I connected mine to the nema 50 plug a few avoided all this work. It works just fine.

[@carlwhitney4786]

Do you have a video on the use of the GM Ultimatum GM EVSE and Application?

[@vathnamean7155]

Thanks for your video. Quite clear instructions. Should you need app to control start/stop charging? I am outside of US. Seems there is no app available for download.

[@curtbashford8563]

Nice and clean but not a fan of how your conduit terminated. Should be an end connector so no sharp edges. I believe that rear port is for true through wall connection, not underneath. I plan to run my conduit to the port you removed the plug cable from. Will need a larger connector reduced down to conduit size. Thanks for sharing.

[@DavidWaltermyer]

that's fair. I'm not an electrician. That being said I did go back and add rubber bushings

[@tiffanymunoz204]

Hi @curtbashford8563! Do you have a recommendation for reducing connector to 1" or 3/4" conduit?

[@davidchilds9485]

@@tiffanymunoz204 use a 1 x 3/4 reducer washer on both sides of the charge case and install a standad 3/4 " fitting

[@danle4261]

Hi David, Great video. I just bought same unit as yours, however the electrician said he cannot hard wire because of some issue that GM has not resolved for the hard wire method. If I want just a NEMA plugged then it should be alright, but I do not get full 11.5 kw and there maybe ‘tripping’ issue with NEMA plugged. What do you think? Do you hear anything about hard wire issue with this charger from GM? It’s a cleaner look with hard wire vs plug in? Thanks

[@DavidWaltermyer]

You can set the Circuit size in the app the prevent it from pulling to much power. The issue from GM is due up it being hard to get to the lugs to get proper torque. With an Allen key I was able to torque much tighter than with the included tools so I'm comfortable with my install

[@markgil9249]

Manual clearly states 9.4kw with plug and 11+ kw with hardwire

[@wallacewinter5907]

Thank you for the video, I have searched, researched for this package and finally I found your video. My GMC in my city are clueless. They were quick to sell the Hummer but that’s where it ends. Daily I hear “I’ll call you back”. Never do they return a call. All they seem to know is about the Level 1 and 2 charger. They have no idea where to find this one, including parts. I see the order number so maybe that will clue them in! 😢

[@Freejack1971]

Does your charger hum loudly when charging? I was hoping to see it in use.

[@coastal813]

How does it go from 110 to 220 once installed? I just had mine installed but it’s only charging at a very slow speed. I had a 220 installed. Is there a switch somewhere or dial?

[@markgil9249]

If used a receptacle Maybe one hot is on the dead blade since it does not use a nuetral and you're pumping only 120v to the charger?

[@refrigeratoroven]

Try adjusting charge speed in the App

[@michaeladams9637]

Hi David, how did you get the WI-FI working on this EVSE? Thank you.

[@deangelo66]

Nice job!

[@DavidWaltermyer]

Thank you!

[@renegadetech8030]

How has this been working so far for you? I have just purchased one. How is the app?

[@annisanni]

How did you install the ground and Black wire ? the screws are not straight/reachable with straight screw driver and I can't get them tightened.

[@shawnconley8938]

HI David. I don't see your follow up review.

[@josephmaldonado8099]

Thanks for the great video. You might’ve said, but how long is the charging cable? Thanks! So I guess

[@DavidWaltermyer]

25ft

[@billwillhite6859]

Thank You! Very well done. Can you please tell me how to get the link for installation information? Thank You!

[@landerson2520]

Nice video

[@alitavakkoli6127]

I installed the same unit in my garage the way you did yours but it's giving me a result of 2 mile per hour. Any suggestions please?

[@antiferous]

You probably need to go into the Chevrolet app and set up the charger. I had to tell the app how many amps I was connected to. In my case it was a 50 amp breaker, so it limited me to 40 max. Then it charged at the proper rate.

[@alitavakkoli6127]

@@antiferous I did the way you said 100 AMP and it's giving me 28M/H. I appreciate your help

[@markgil9249]

I'm sure you used a 6/3 romex cord...you're indoors so that is still within code..I put one outside...also there was need for a nuetral..I'm sure you capped that one.. I used all #6 wire even the ground was #6 which is standard code out here in Cali. Thanks for the insight here.. I didn't know that small connector was for a thermo reading nor did I know I needed that Bluetooth code from the back. GREAT VIDEO 👍🏼

[@mikep8085]

Any updates on this EVSE?

[@25ftup]

Did you have any issue pairing with iOS?

[@SammyFender]

Would love a follow up especially about the app?

[@SteveMurphy-m4v]

Mine was installed but unit getting no power. Any ideas?

[@akilfahd]

When is the planned release for the GM two way or bidirectional charger?

[@refrigeratoroven]

Available now

[@vb7guy]

nice Video. can you use this EVSE with non-Ultium battery car. i.e Chevy bolt EUV?

[@DavidWaltermyer]

Yup. Ultimum is really just branding on this. It still uses a regular CCS plug and what not

[@Nebula1701]

@@DavidWaltermyer Regular J1772 Plug not CCS.

[@vbshah240]

Hello I am getting red light I even changed the charger can u plz advice. Thank you

[@johnfreeman1164]

I had that problem. There is something inside the unit that has to be switched if you are going to hardwire it. The unit comes with the switch on the setting for it to be plugged in. I do not think that they put that in the instructions so that only GM authorized electricians can successfully do the installation. I think that is a dirty trick!

[@joegonia2900]

I see you had 3 wires and copper ground, you didn't show where they were connected.The install guide only shows the 3 connections. I had a hard time pulling 4 #6 cables and now dont know where to connect copper ground.

[@DavidWaltermyer]

Only 3 wires are needed. I didn't use the 4th. I already had this wire laying around

[@joegonia2900]

@@DavidWaltermyer thanks for quick reply, I should have checked sooner,it wasn’t easy pulling # 6 solid copper.

[@davidblanke5049]

Where does the white wire plug into

[@ricardoestradaaleman7812]

Hello, I have the same problem, did you know where it is connected? The white neutral wire? That would help me a lot

[@adammd718]

How do you shut it off when it's not charging?

[@refrigeratoroven]

Are the lights illuminated when not charging? Is there a way to disable or dim the lights within the App?

[@philipt.ferrara8067]

Didn’t show any need for the white wire. Could have used 6/2 romex.

[@DavidWaltermyer]

Correct. I already had the wire on hand so I put it to use.

[@omanyaki402]

Wow halfway thru the video and wondering why they made this to be so complicated

[@TomBrunner-jt2md]

Video is very much appreciated. IMO. As said in the video….the product is good EXCEPT FOR THE switch. It’s too small, too hard to see, too hard to reach and made of very fragile plastic barely held in place. Upon making final wire connections ( hard wired) the switch broke off. Poor design and placement.

[@Peter-TienNguyen]

How to download the app? Thanks

[@garymiller3972]

Will this charger do V2L?

[@refrigeratoroven]

No

[@sensfan204]

watching you do this while leaving it in the box was infuriating

[@markrandazzo9370]

I do not recommend back feeding this without a proper fitting. You could easily damage the feeder wires. It should have been bottom fed. Contact a qualified licensed electrician.

[@uddek]

23 minute video with 5 full minutes watching you unscrew and remove plastic panels, but the part where you attach the electrical cables to the terminals (you know, the actual installation) is skipped. lmao

[@gregmartin1757]

Having full confidence in what you were doing was your mistake. Your installation wasn't to nec codes and obviously the work of a non professional overconfident homeowner type .why do people like you who obviously aren't professionals post videos showing other people how ? So they can get it wrong as well ? You people need to stop already.

[@uknw438]

Good video
