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 !!
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!
Awesome hope the install goes well! What car are you getting??
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. 👍
Thanks for the tip! I think I’ve done too much work in old listed buildings where you’re not allowed to drill the bricks 😂
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.
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.
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
Thnks!
I thought you made a really smart job of installing that, the linian clips look very useful.
Thanks! 👍
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 🤣
Great video Jordan. Thanks for featuring the LINIAN SuperClips. Very neat & tidy install!
Thanks. You’re welcome!
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!
👍🏽
Thanks!
Greetings from Manchester once again....As always quality video... keep up the great work ethic.... great to see someone that takes great pride in their job...😁📽️👍👊✌️🧰🔧🍻🏍️
Much appreciated
Lovely job once again Jordan. Congratulations on your anniversary too buddy
Thank you so much 👍
Nice video. I can't tell you much I like to see work done well and neatly, unlike most of what I see here where I live!
I had a funny feeling that was your property, interesting video as usual.
Yes it would be great to see some vlogs on your new Tesla.
Thanks! Tesla video to come soon.
Great Stuff 👍
Great install thanks for your input on the manufacturer of EV charger. Very thorough excellent..
You seem so happy. Nice to see 👍🏼
Haha thanks yeah it was a joyful moment for me! 😁
I hope you shifted all your neutrals and CPC’s over to suit the new consumer unit layout ... great vid 🇬🇧✊🏻
Really enjoyed the install, great job. Now we need the tour of the new car 😜 Stay safe!
Coming soon!
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.
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
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
You have great pride in your workmanship even on your own property. Good video mate 👍
Thanks
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 👍
Yeah me too I forgot to mention that it’s a great little tool!
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?
very neat nice work as always jordan keep them coming
Wow, great video. Quite different from our 3 phase installations here in Germany.
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.
Thanks for the great video. Really nice project done neatly. Now this is all good for those who do not have their PV installation yet. However Zappi seems to be the best joice when you want to charge only on solar surplus. Any video on how to wire up the solar part with it's own counter to the Zappi?
Neat job and love the linen clips. Much neater than cleats.
Yes the Joy's of off cuts, they make it untidy & the day after you get rid of it you get a job where it would be handy!!
Totally!
Yes best quality ever video and work man you are good.
nice video... great for newly qualified guys like myself. keep them coming bro
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!
very nice choice in car and charger. compliment each other nicely. great quality
Thanks! 👍
Jordan awesome job with a pros finish and a great Ad for the Zappi
Thanks a lot!
Your really professional. Great vid.
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.
Nice and easy install bro! Need to see the car and the performance of the Zapi in action😉
Thanks
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.
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!
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.
Yes absolutely! Thanks for the comment.
It’s incredible that it’s legal to use bus bars like that in UK. In DK it has to be isolated wires
Good sales pitch, sound electrics. Thanks. Very informative.
Have you made one on the 'Harvi' device? Sounds useful.
Pleeease! Move the drain pipe an inch or two!
If it overflows it'll be interesting!
What size armoured cable did you use for this? Brilliant video
Hi Jordan, this is Dave. We are loving your videos
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
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
2 pole isolation is a legal requirement, it can be in the home or outside here in the UK. a 2 pole RCD/RCBO is most commonly used as it also protects the cable to the EVSE.
Another great video Jordan 👍 you really are churning out plenty of content lately, I don’t know how you find the time ?! Would love to see a video reviewing your new Tesla, business must be going well for you if you have bought one of those 😄👍
Thanks! Yeah I've had more time lately to churn out videos. Gonna post a Tesla Video soon.
Hi I just wondered do you have to connect a home charger to your consumer unit or can all the wiring be done just in your outside meter box.
Final fantasy victory fanfare tune when you first connect the faceplate 😁
Well explained. Thanks a lot
A good informative video on car charging, I have been approached to install my first car charger and this has helped.
On my particular installation I think I am going to have issues with loading, which ,without going into details is my problem, the other issue is that it is on a TT system so I will need to look at the RCD issues as all parts of the installation are required to be protected.
Lastly, I did not see you re-configure the Neutral and Earthing connecrions at the Distribution Board after you bumped along the Mcb's, not saying you didn't do it but it makes testing the installation a bit easier for the poor bugger who has to do the godforsaken task if all the circuits are numbered up correctly
I will also be looking at the Zappi as an option and offering it to the customer after your comments on other brands , such as Rolec which is what we are being offered at our local wholesalers.
Can't wait to see the car nicely installed charger 👍
That's a neat and tidy install. I've just subscribed.
What brand are the glands you used? I haven't seen those with threads set into the locknut - thats better than banjos.
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
Nice video.
May I ask what type cable you've used for connecting the charger with fusebox? H05VV or NYY or something else? :) thanks in advance
Just a question. Does the cable supplying the ev charger not require RCD protection? Thanks.
Great video, thank you, how will you stop someone else using your charger when you are not home .? , can it be locked ?
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?
Since its your own house it doesn't matter but We just wire from the mains outside and have line tap off the main tails into a isolator then wire straight from that to the zappi, lovely piece of kit.
Thanks. What’s country are you in? I don’t think we’re allowed to use line taps in this country.
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
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.
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.
If you drill from inside to uutside you can drill in the corner?
See a really good job on here keep up there good work on here mate keep up the good work on here mate
HI, How did you connect the Zappi to your home network to make it a Smart EV Charger, or did you not want to do this?
Good thign about those boards is that the mcbs, rcds and rcbos are available in denmans, rexel etc under the steeple brand and cross compatible with lewden. (same stuff) they also have a lot of very well priced type a rcds and rcbos which are ideal for ev charging solutions
Nice
Did you predrill for clipping, it was fastforward speed so i could not see what you used. ?
We have a sea front property that sees a lot of salt corrosion on outside electrical fittings such as security lights that need replacing every 3-5 years
What charger would you recommend that would fair best in this harsh environment
Thanks for your excellent videos
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
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.
Thanks! I would never install a washing machine that close to the consumer unit but it’s not my own house! 👍 glad you like the videos!
With the 40A MCB what size cable did you use? I am looking at 25m max underground cable for mine.
im getting a vw id3 and will need a 7kw charger. I want to lay the cable through the loft before the builders convert the upstairs to rooms. It will be a 20mtr run total inside and external. Do I need 6mm armoured cable or 10mm. Thanks
witch type of cable and how many core we can use jordan
Subbed because you have bought a Tesla and sharing your Knowledge about it all. Thanks
Hi what type of cable did you used to connect the Zappi charger? What is the size? In mm2
that was sneaky! lol im sure the customer likes the work 😂😂😂
im guessing those long drill bits arent long enough! lol you'll be tunneling next! lol seriously tho, your pretty much guarenteed to get thru any wall no matter what so great thinking! 😊 (i'd hate to see a wall that they barely go thru!)
its nice to see your using the products you suggest, as you say, it helps customers knowing that you actually know what your on about! 😊
Thanks a lot yes these drill bits are amazing they will get through almost any wall! I work in a lot of castles... LOL
"We're gonna need a bigger boat, and while you're at it get a bigger / longer drill bit" 😂😂😂
HAHA
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 :)
Jordon, would you not recommend an spd is fitted when installing Zappi ev charging points?
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!
Hi there love you channel just come across it
I'm.getting a Tesla soon was wondering which he me charger u recommend Im thinking zappi also
I have solar panels installed by third party company a shade greener that means I can use whatever is generated in real time but anything excess the company keeps. Therefore I understand there are chargers that adjust charging according to the panels output and will use that energy first before the grid.
Any particilar charger u may know about
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
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.
Nice one Jordan. Give me a spin in it please next time I'm visiting ;).....only problem with the clips is that they are centre lined compared to the poly clips that are off centre. What about clipping armoured cable across wooden trusses for example in a garage? Have to use perforated strapping and make ones own fire rated steel clips . A real pain
Yeah definitely take you for a spin when you come visit! 😁
Quality install
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
Love it We dig it!
How long was it before you tripped over the charging cable when trying to sneak in through the back door when bladdered coming back from the pub?
The tune the Zappi made @30:49 is the victory tune in final fantasy 7.
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 ?
My new build home come with a 8mm double socket to outside of my house......they said it's for EV charging.....can u just remove the double socket and put a box their?
Could you explain again why the car charger is not put on the RCD? Does it have it's own RCD protection?
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 don’t know anything about Zappi V1 to be honest they don’t make them any more
Nice job! Nice gate😆👍
😁👍
Does the changer unit use much power
Hi, just one stupid question from me, was that a type B 40Amp MCB you used ...i thought it had to be line protected by type A throughout? or do es the IEE/IET allow for manufacturers RCD to be included in the BS EN rating of the charger?? cheers.
Nice clean van mate!😂 Also, get some sealer around that expansion pipe stop the bugs etc
Thanks
Love watching your channel and this UK stuff, still electricity but different from the way we do it in the states.
