Cracking job - my dad was an electrical engineer / electrician (ex MEB / Private - retired now). Showed him video and he was seriously impressed as was I. Good to see a true artisan at work !!
A brickie told me you should always drill into the brickwork as it will stay solid forever whereas drilling into the mortar bed they crumble over time. That’s why older houses often need repointing. Love the videos and your work ethic btw. 👍
I'm 62 now and have always mounted to the bricks and never the Mortar, you can hang off the charging cable and it will never pull the charger off the wall even if you forget and drive away. A couple of good tugs on the charging lead and the charger will fall off Guaranteed.
Interesting video! I'm an IT engineer but something about electrical works always gets me interested. Also fully approve of your neatness especially with the labelling 👍
Congrats. I'm getting mine installed this Saturday. Your videos were very helpful to decide which charger to get and to get an idea what's needs to be done at my place. Thank you!
just wanted to say that i do love your videos, i was an electrician to the 17th edition but after the 18th came out i decided to retire, but looking at your videos, you are a man after my own heart, a bit OCD, like everything to be perfect, and the EV charger in Peckham, that consumer unit was horrible with all the insulation on cables cut so short. keep up the good work.
These off cuts you think would come in handy but you keep them and they get in the way and other halves get annoyed by it 🤣👏🏻That’s my life right there mate 🤣
Love all the videos. I am taking my pre apprenticeship at the moment in Canada, starting apprenticeship in Feb. Great to see someone who takes pride in their work
Great Video Jordan. I have a dental mirror in my kit so you check the busbar is in the mcb terminal clamp. I do loads of inspections and see it all the time where the busbar has missed the clamp and has caused overheating 👍
Do you carry out risk assessments and checklists prior to installing these? Also, with the PEN protection are you still required to ensure that everything within 10m that could possibly be earthed is either class 2 or separated from earth via an insulating section?
Hey, its been an absolute refreshing change to see a master at his trade! I wouldt love to get into electrical vehicle trade with the company I work for.....in my eyes you recommend this highly! I cant wait to do installs like you! 👍🏽
Watching from Australia having just bought a 3 SR+. In Aus, all Tesla's come with the Gen 2 HPWC so will be installing that (only single phase like you so will be 32A). Interestingly in Aus we are required to have an isolater/switch near any EV charger. Surprised the UK doesn't have this requirement given you do have switches on far lower powered wall points
Have you seen JW’s video on EV chargers? Also, could you give us a demo of the charger in use showing us what sort of current it pulls etc, perhaps even if you could turn the electric hob/oven on to demo how it ramps back to stay under the maximum demand. Excellent video otherwise, would it be possible to wire the charger into the outside box (main incomer) with just a small main? I would be more comfortable with that amount of load staying away from my house’s main CU.
Great video, thanks. I'm a Model 3 owner and in the process of moving to be able to install a charger. You mention that you didn't want to see so much cable on the outside, which looks great, but was there any technical reason you couldn't continue to the meter box and put your cable in through the wall using whatever hole is already there for the existing cables? Thanks
i have a rolec charger, which was fitted about 2 years ago. It stopped working (out of guarantee) last week. When i contacted Rolec they diagnosed the fault according to my description of the problem (The contactor) and even though it was out of guarantee sent me a new contactor free of charge.
Hi Jordan, Looking at getting an EV charger installed at my house. Im with Octopus, Would you still recommend the zappi as an EV charger or is there any others that you would favour now? How has your experience been with the zappi?
Great install. I am getting a pro in to do mine but as part of the landscaping work I am getting them to lay the cable as it is a long run. Is this normal armoured 3 core? Or do I need 3 or 5 core with data? I want to future proof as garden isnt coming up again!
A great job. Very nice charger and professional. Don't ever be tempted to DIY install this. Get an electician as you can see lots of testing needs to be done to check all is safe and working.
Hi Jordan love the videos and quality installations. Just have one comment. I am not a qualified electrician so shoot me down with the regs, but as Joe Bloggs is it wise to have a washing machine waste so close to a main consumer unit? Looking forward to seeing the model 3 . Great choice. Wish I had trained as an sparky I'm stuck with a 24Kw leaf. (Still a great car) Regards Keith.
2:45 Funny that this house looks same as the last video where do you talk about the charger station and the video before where do you install cables. I know this washing machine some minutes later. Why YT talk me that this Video is 5 hours old?
Artisan Electrics www.eviuk.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Zappi1-to-Zappi2-Information-v2.pdf I’m familiar with both versions. Ok if your installing on your own property but wouldn't pass under the OLEV scheme.
@Artisan Electrics - No 3 Phase chargeng ? Muahaha in the consumer unit: Brown connected to earth / neutral ( 0 Brown usually means 230V-AC phase) , nice confusing surprise ! ... Does this installtion follow different ages of different color code strandards ? ... In my older house I partially have grey + yellow for light bulbs = no earth ( & I read red was used for earth back then) instead of brown + blue ...
Very helpful video, but one thing I may have missed is a clear statement of voltage - is it 220 or 240 volts? And, what is the charging rate in Amps or Watts? I live in Hong Kong and our standard supply is 220 volts and a geat many vehicles plug into a domestic standard 13 amp socket for EV charging. A friend's car uses 12.3 Amps for charging. The unknown is the next higher rate of charging. One neighbour with a Tesla uses 25 Amps for charging. The company meter is rated for 10 to 100 Anps AC. Three phase charging for EV's in my estate is a non starter because the local company - China Light and Power - would have to rewire the whole estate and build between 6 and 10 new sub stations to handle the load IF all the houses (5,024) wanted to charge EV's and run a home at the same time. Your comments would be helpful for background knowledge.
It's all good for people who have a drive way but living in London on a terrace road it's next to impossible to install one when parking spaces is limited.
I'm researching what work I might have to have done to fit an EV charger. I have a 100amp fuse/switch. Doing a load calc 40 + (0.4x(32+32+16+6+6+6)) + 30.49 for the charger = 109A which exceeds the 100A. It looks like you have a greater demand on your CU. Is this only ok as your zappi has load management?
Great vid, just starting my training on these. If the customer has a home battery system would you have done anything differently? What considerations for feeding back into the grid other than the 100 amp fuse? Cheers
So I’m looking at getting an ev ,and home charger my question how do you go on when you don’t have an old style tap stopcock ? I have a Surestop switch stopcock under the sink in the cupboard with no visible bonding or no access behind the cupboard to check for bonding, I spoke to the council who believe the old tap stopcock would have been cut out when the surestop water switch was put in , thanks for any advice.
I’m unlikely to ever have solar at my current house...would you still recommend the Zappi in that scenario or are there other chargers now that have enough built in protection and smarts (SyncEV, Wallbox,etc)? Wish the Zappi was a touch smaller and nicer looking. And that screen...I know it doesn’t have to be any better but it looks like it’s run by a Tamagotchi!
A good quality long drill bit for concrete and bricks, with a good drill / hammer, saves SO much time. Something that can take an hour with a shitty tools, can take 1-2 minutes with proper drill bit and drill. Love my long SDS plus drills. But the longest I own is 45cm. I guess having a longer one could be handy, but I am not a professional electrician :)
Really like those Super Clips. No more plastic clips for me. Only slight thing I would have done differently, is I would have hidden the change of direction of the SWA between the brick courses behind the soil pipe.
I thought I was being helpful by leaving the spare busbar ready for the next guy ( same as here) but I got a telling off by my Elecsa inspector for leaving it in the board. He said it was a contaminant and shouldn’t be there and made me take it out during the inspection visit
Nice to see how you connected to the existing DB and the use of those wall SWA clips ( really good) which is all common to general ccts , But ... ..... What would be good is : To see more about the EV testing itself which is more relevant ( in compliance with BS7671: 2018 section 722 Amd 1 ) and how the ZAPI EV charging unit complies with the requirements in BS761 2018 sect 722 regarding connecting to TN systems - you mentioned this right at the end .. but rather glossed over it.
if you moved all the RH rcd ccts by one position to make room for the EV MCB - that would have changed all the existing cct numbers by "+1" ? - and then - presumably you moved all the neutral and CPC connections on the relevant busbars by +1 also to match the new cct numbering ?
Excellent. My next car will be electric, nothing as expensive as a Tesla. My question is as I don't know what car I will go for ,which unit do I put in ( I am renovating my house top to bottom now seems a good time to put a unit in ) needs to be a unit to cover a broad range of cars. Thank you in advance.
Do we need to seal the holes we drilled on the wall, or to seal the anchor screws for the charging station? I am just worried about moistures going into the wall and causing condensation in winter
My understanding of the Zappi version 1 is that your not allowed to use it on PME and it does not provide disconnection of the supply in case of DC Fault current above 6ma. 18th Edition Regulation 722.531.2.101
I know this video is 2 years old but I wonder, here where I am 3fase power is rather standard, even if you are single fase you have a 3 fase lead comming into the meter. Is this not a thing in the UK? or is it only older home instalations that have a single lead 100 amp?
I think the government made a mistake with the whole EV market. From the start they should have said when you have a charge point installed in your home it needs a separate meter, that way they can charge vat at 20% and calculate fuel duty.
What’s to stop someone from having a bog standard 32amp socket installed, and use the cable that comes with the car or buy another charging cable (like the one from Ohme)... surely that wouldn’t need an Earth rod, and would be cheaper than buying a home charger unit. Maybe not a perfect solution...
The car wouldn't charge at 32amps....as you would only get a limited charge as the car wants to see the signal to say fast charge so you would just get a slow charge
Good video, thanks. What determines the 7kw as I have a garage at bottom of garden already with armoured cable but not sure if I can run straight off that.
Hi Jordan I am looking to get a Model Y when it comes to UK built in Giga Berlin I shall be installing a V2 ZAPPI charger, outside mails box, Solar Panels eventually and Power Wall Eventually too. I shall be installing a HARVI with a CT clamp and a HUB in the Sitting room near the modem. I am planning for the future and so have worked out where to run the cable from the Consumer unit to the V2 ZAPPI charger on the wall outside. I also want a Mains Wall switch double weather proof box, so two Armoured cables with the Linian clips that you used very neat. I may need a separate Consumer unit for the extra future Power Wall and Solar panels ? I have watched your video on you installing the V2 ZAPPI charger on your own house and I was very impressed. Are you a recognised V2 ZAPPI charger installer for OLEV etc, and secondly I an in Lancing West Sussex. Do you cover this area? I am already with OCTOPUS and will change to AGILE when I get the car. I am in a semi detached and have seen on RUclips that there is sometimes a problem with properties having shared supply, what do you know of this Sorry if this is long. Hope to hear from you soon James
Can you please tell me how much would be the electric costs of charging? 7kW for 7 hours full charge, is that right? Would the producer specify the cable size? Regardless of the size and installation method can we use any kind of cable rather than SWA? Thanks
If the Zappi didn’t have DC detection and you had to install a type B RCD with built in dc capability/detection, would this need to be in its own box with earth rod? Or could it be installed as you did in the consumer unit if the earth was up to standard?
How are you finding applying for the OLEV grants? A few people I know are really having issues with getting them to pay out, like 5/6 months in some cases. Wondered if you’d encountered any problems recently?
great video like the rest ..i am new electrician. Just wondering how it was when contact DNO about installation at factory and the 13.8 kva M.D any views on that would great
Earth bonding by the boiler. Further than 600 mm from the gas meter outlet. I'd really like your input on this one as it seems to be quite a matter where electricians and gas engineers disagree on.
The Zappi is a very nice bit of kit and if you have a Solar PV installation it can do some very clever things. It’s worth checking out the fully charged channel, Robert Llewellyn’s has a recent video of his home demonstrating the Tesla power wall and Zappi setup.
Can I just ask. Why do you put it on a 40 amp? The manufacturer instructions states 32 amp maximum. The reason why I ask is. A lot of ev chargers are on a 40 amp mcb
Hi my mate got one installed and told me that all they did is, run the power to the white box outdoor where the meter sits instead of the fuse box. So just wondering if that is possible and how come you did not do the same ? maybe you did not have space
Thanks for another great video Jordan. Probably when you made this video, Ohme Pro wasn't released then. If it was, would you still have gone for Zappi? Zappi's are expensive then Ohme Pro and does have a solar integration but Ohme Pro don't. What would you advise on please? Thanks

The tune the Zappi made @30:49 is the victory tune in final fantasy 7.
Water drainage pipe that close to the breaker unit would be a major problem if you had a blockage or waste problem
You should relocate it.

I thought you made a really smart job of installing that, the linian clips look very useful.
Thanks! 👍
It’s incredible that it’s legal to use bus bars like that in UK. In DK it has to be isolated wires
Hi Jordan, this is Dave. We are loving your videos

Great install thanks for your input on the manufacturer of EV charger. Very thorough excellent..
What size armoured cable did you use for this? Brilliant video
I know this video is 2 years old but I wonder, here where I am 3fase power is rather standard, even if you are single fase you have a 3 fase lead comming into the meter. Is this not a thing in the UK? or is it only older home instalations that have a single lead 100 amp?
I think the government made a mistake with the whole EV market. From the start they should have said when you have a charge point installed in your home it needs a separate meter, that way they can charge vat at 20% and calculate fuel duty.
There's nothing to stop you from charging via the granny lead (supplied with most EV's) plugged into a 13A socket though.
I don't like that washing machine exhaust hose right on top of a consumer unit is that spec? Could you not cut that pipe to be lower down?
Could you explain again why the car charger is not put on the RCD? Does it have it's own RCD protection?
What’s to stop someone from having a bog standard 32amp socket installed, and use the cable that comes with the car or buy another charging cable (like the one from Ohme)... surely that wouldn’t need an Earth rod, and would be cheaper than buying a home charger unit. Maybe not a perfect solution...

May I ask what type cable you've used for connecting the charger with fusebox? H05VV or NYY or something else? :) thanks in advance
Can you please tell me how much would be the electric costs of charging? 7kW for 7 hours full charge, is that right?
Would the producer specify the cable size? Regardless of the size and installation method can we use any kind of cable rather than SWA?
Thanks
If the Zappi didn’t have DC detection and you had to install a type B RCD
with built in dc capability/detection, would this need to be in its own box with earth rod? Or could it be installed as you did in the consumer unit if the earth was up to standard?
60cm deep is a recommendation if likely to be damaged. In that situation it would be fine 👍
Thanks
I was going to look that up as was sure it was to do with damage, thinking armoured which you are using anyway as a starter alternative?
522.8.10 doesn't mention a depth. Just 'sufficient depth'. I love the book of grey areas 🤣
If you drill from inside to uutside you can drill in the corner?
Nice and easy install bro! Need to see the car and the performance of the Zapi in action😉
Thanks
Your really professional. Great vid.
How are you finding applying for the OLEV grants? A few people I know are really having issues with getting them to pay out, like 5/6 months in some cases. Wondered if you’d encountered any problems recently?
great video like the rest ..i am new electrician. Just wondering how it was when contact DNO about installation at factory and the 13.8 kva M.D any views on that would great
30:50...the ff7 victory tone is the one!!!!
Glad I'm not the only one to spot that. Whoever designed it to do that is a genius.
nice video... great for newly qualified guys like myself. keep them coming bro
I live in a council ground floor flat will I need permission to have this installed?
Jordon, would you not recommend an spd is fitted when installing Zappi ev charging points?
Earth bonding by the boiler. Further than 600 mm from the gas meter outlet. I'd really like your input on this one as it seems to be quite a matter where electricians and gas engineers disagree on.
Looks great! Sorry to inform you that is NOT a charger. It is a 'smart' extension cord. The charger (battery charger) is in the car.
The Zappi is a very nice bit of kit and if you have a Solar PV installation it can do some very clever things. It’s worth checking out the fully charged channel, Robert Llewellyn’s has a recent video of his home demonstrating the Tesla power wall and Zappi setup.
Thanks I love that Channel
Very neat install. The only I don't like is how for out the charging connection sticks out. I'll have think how to make one vandal / thief proof!
Did you predrill for clipping, it was fastforward speed so i could not see what you used. ?
Can I just ask. Why do you put it on a 40 amp? The manufacturer instructions states 32 amp maximum. The reason why I ask is. A lot of ev chargers are on a 40 amp mcb
What have you got on your feet?
Are they water ski's or flippers???
Just a question. Does the cable supplying the ev charger not require RCD protection? Thanks.
Washing machine discharge pipe right next to consumer unit???? Water and electrics???
Good sales pitch, sound electrics. Thanks. Very informative.
Have you made one on the 'Harvi' device? Sounds useful.
Hi my mate got one installed and told me that all they did is, run the power to the white box outdoor where the meter sits instead of the fuse box. So just wondering if that is possible and how come you did not do the same ? maybe you did not have space
Were you tempted to use an RCBO? Thanks Jez
Thanks for another great video Jordan. Probably when you made this video, Ohme Pro wasn't released then. If it was, would you still have gone for Zappi? Zappi's are expensive then Ohme Pro and does have a solar integration but Ohme Pro don't. What would you advise on please? Thanks
