Big up Jack. Was that a Scotty cameo in disguise, said about as much as usual 😂 Big up to all your subscribers too ❤ but not those naughty viewers that don’t hit those buttons 😂😂 Nice install fella
Quick question, I have seen few videos of the install from different engineers and they all have run through the fuse box while your video shows everything done form the outside meter box, so my question is, after watching the full video. I’m also on a new build property where the meter box is on the side of the property and the fuse box is inside the house( basically far away from each other) I am looking to get a ev charger installed but had few engineers who suggested that they need to drill the inside of the house walls to feed the wire from the fuse box. Can it be done straight from the meter box?
Thankyou, the board is metal and the setup app for installers is easy, input wifi settings, set perimeters and how you want the charger to behave (app to charge or plug and play) and away you go, the rest of the setup is the customers side
Yeah it’s around the live just after meter so everything is going through it If it was fed from 1 fuseboard it would be round the live feeding it so would read everything the same
Nice neat job, we have to wire back to the board where we are, on the odd occasion I put in an outside fuseboard I put a little grey alloy shelf above it to stop water getting behind on sitting on it.
When you said about if another heavy load is used then it limits itself. Do you have to set it up for max mains fuse or anything? Another top vid mate 👌
You set in the app what amp the charger is and what amp the incommer fuse is then the ct talks to it and if there is any more high loads being pulled it will limit the charger Cheers gary
@@JRCElectrical more along the lines of what results to expect and if not getting whats expected, then reasons for bad readings etc, . Quick question jack I've 2x boards in cabin one off peak one daily, can I get a double board to take both peak and off peak ? Cheers 👍
@@garylatto4191 ahh I get you sir, yeah I can do video, Yeah duel stack board will take both supplies I think, I’ve always done them seperate but I’m sure you can
Noice install. Fiddling with electrics in the rain, what could go wrong. 😎 I assume you can set the grid limit within the charger, incase the mains fuse is smaller?
BG can certainly do some nice looking gear. It's a shame they went budget at likes of Screwfix for diyers for some of their stuff. Great video & tidy work.
Yeah there gear is class, looks awesome and I agree about screwfix but at the end of the day it’s the installer who throws them in it’s not the product it’s self that’s the problem
Hi Jack Same sort of question ...as I have a install for charger trunking through garage....as bg charger does have rcd protection built in? Have you put one in ip unit so has a test button to test 6 monthly? Good video thanks 👍
Hi Gary if the cable your installing has mechanical protection ( ie it’s swa or it’s installed in trunking ) then no it doesn’t require an RCD /RCBO but the charger itself should have RCD protection built in or you could use an external device to achieve this for example a Matt E
I can only find either new build work or house maintencance work as an electrician (while maintenance is only limited to socket/switch/light/extractor fans replacement). can any one guide me how to find work with electrician /company like Jack is doing. I am fully qualified electrician based in Romford town of greater London area.
Ahh okay, reason I'm asking is, I have quoted a few EV Chargers recently, all around the 1k mark but customers seem to only want to pay £20. So frustrating
@@conormclaughlin7756 a lot of them seem to be included as part of the car purchase or hire to be fair there own company fits them, I’ve found that anyway
@@JRCElectricalyes I have noticed that as well, usually a Charger mounted next to the meter cupboard and a bit of twin and earth going to a cheap board 😂
Oioioi, great install, great vid, love the BG stuff. Struggle to get hold of it though. I need a main switch board with spd and about 6 or 7 usable ways. Do BG do one like this?
@@JRCElectrical I fit the 4g model , had the wrong instructions in the box so when i was scanning the app ect was all wrong couldn’t set it up… spent ages on tech support before this was found to be the issue… then still didnt work ,rang back up again I ended up having to take the whole thing apart its had no sim card in!… they sent one out returned to site again (which wasn’t close) took it all apart again to fit the sim which is a complete strip down job of the guts, still didnt work hours on phone to tech support again eventually turned out the other issue was the beat time it calls in to sync ect was factory set to high so thats why its was not responding- finally on line days later than the original install started to set it up- then the rift tags i got sent out were the wrong ones had to go back again with correct tags they would not set up via the app had to ring up again - cost me a fortune & pissed of customer for their cock ups … didnt get any comp for it like you would with the other brands that pay you if the equipment is faulty or needs replacement - not had any issues with the other brands like that… i see you have a vid going back to the other one you fit to replace a part already… 💩chargers

It can be done from your outside meter box, tails will need Henley blocks on, new tails to an IP rated consumer unit then from there to the charger
I do like those black boards, about time we escaped the white goods market
Agreed, they look ace

Great install Jack,great watch as per…big up your self mate.
Thanks dude as always ❤️
Mega video mate and mega install…. Text book is that
Cheers Jason ❤️
I use the same board & the same charger. I use a 25mm Bush though into the meter box, think it'll stay more waterproof but good job 👍
Oo this is a noice idea sir
Great content as always fella. No more partner in crime - Scotty anymore? Keep up the good work😀
Thank you sir, no Scotty has gone he’s a roofer now
Great Video Jack, BG massive love the EV stuff 🤙🏼
Cheers dude 🐺
Nice install Jack. Is that board pvc or metal? What’s the app/ setup like on that unit? I find some of them a ball ache to setup

NOOOIICCEEEE! Neat install and well explained! BIG UP Yourself Jack! 🙂
Big up you sir every week ❤️
Shouldn’t the CT unit be around the cable feeding to the house, your got it monitoring both???
Yeah it’s around the live just after meter so everything is going through it
If it was fed from 1 fuseboard it would be round the live feeding it so would read everything the same
Nice video again Jack, keep up the brilliant work.
Thanks dude ❤️
Very nice. Love the black
Cheers Shayne I agree it looks mint
I can see you getting a nick-name either polo or tictac (mint)!
😂😂😂😂 I’ll be the holes out the polo 😂
Nice neat job, we have to wire back to the board where we are, on the odd occasion I put in an outside fuseboard I put a little grey alloy shelf above it to stop water getting behind on sitting on it.
Anything like that is going to help the product last longer surely, in my eyes tho it’s an IP board so it should be fine 🤞
Great video but that bg charger looks like the cheapest plastic going
It’s class to be fair mate
Sweet installation mate
Cheers dude ❤️
Have you become a BG EV installer and if so how easy a process and what is the online training like.Great vid👍
Yeah I did it a while back, it’s easy mate just get on, register and complete it. It’s good
Cheers dude
Great job with the install and the video. 👌👌
Thank you good sir as always ❤️
Big Up Your Self Jack
Big up Sergio
Nice work Sir Jack!
Thankyou Sir Jim u legend
Nice an neat job way ya go man .The unit doesn't look as nice a as the Simpson & Partners Charging Point but Im sure its a helluva lot cheaper.

BS Hammer spacing for the cleats - the way I was taught!!
Hahaha that’s what I used 😂😂
No RCBO /RCD protection required if using swa or mechanical protection (ie trunking ) ?? 🤔🤔🤔
What do you mean? This install has rcbo but doesn’t need it as it’s clipped direct

Out of interest, how much did you charge for this install? A rough figure
They normally work out roughly £1k with labour depending which charger you go for
