      @@electrician247 In this case the customer is obviously wrong. I can't think of ANY reason why the install wouldn't look neater with the connection box on the inside of the garage. Maybe the customer prefers to look at a nice neat interior garage rather than an untidy exterior wall!
      Will be looking to have an EV charger installed myself in a couple of months, so this video has been useful to understand the process. I have a similar CU, but I'm seriously thinking about having it upgraded (it is 10 years old) to use RCBO's and surge protection. Not sure I would want the EV charger potentially tripping a number of circuits on the new Type A RCD.

      @@paulhill9132 you can no longer install EV equipment on shared RCDs due to regulation changes. I would say the customer has different wants/tastes than yourself rather than they are wrong. The customer is always right. I would always encourage updating older switchgear to modern standards. You also have the option of a small additonal EV consumer unit with SPD integration. It doesnt hurt even if the EVSE chargers such as the product shown here have both technolgies built in. I would consult a local reputable installer for advice to help fill in the blanks for you.

      You have to keep within your service supply limits. Load limiting is an option and most DNOs will accept this. Most charge points have this built in now. That said if you have a 100A head likely to be fine unless you have an especially high consumption

    I had the same EV charger fitted and didn’t want the junction box on outside of my garage, the main cable had to go in to a dug out 30 metre trench from outside main house supply due to distance and not wanting it clipped along bottom of my house. I was having the EV charger put on centre brick post between a double garage but can understand why they couldn’t do it . Here you could have avoided having junction box on outside garage wall and kept inside from where you placed it , you could have made a U turn with supply cable was there any reason you didn’t ?.

    When the Ohme Pro is fully fitted how far will the cable stretch to? Yes, it says 5 metres but for a comfortable reach I would really need just over 5 metres rather than just under when allowing for a vertical drop against the wall. The optional 8 metre length would probably be too much and I presume it has to be fully unwound when in use.
    Also, can it be installed alongside the meter cupboard (100A) with an additional EV consumer unit rather than through the wall and into the house to reach the main consumer unit?

      In terms of RCD protection both poles need to open. In terms of safe isolation to work that can be achieved via the main switch of any install or by removing neutral links.

    Hi Mark, just stumbled upon your video from last year...... I'm not a sparky but am looking at having one of these EV chargers installed. The electricity supplier has told me that a cable needs to run from the charger to the meter. This is going to be difficult to achieve at my property due to the location of the meter in relation to the driveway but a connection to a consumer unit in the garage is very easy. I didn't see a meter in your video - is what I'm being told by the electricity company incorrect? Do you need a cable run direct to the meter or does it just need to reach a consumer unit? Thanks in advance for taking the time to answer!!

    • @electrician247
      @electrician247  6 месяцев назад

      Hi Adam. If the garage is a smaller consumer unit it could be the cable supplying it isn’t large enough for the additional load from an EV charger.
      The EV charger doesn’t necessarily need to go back to the meter but it does need to go back to a consumer unit with capacity in itself and the cable feeding it.
      I would consult a local electrician rather than energy retailer for advice.

    Great video...
    I have an Ohme Home charger and it's been giving me lots of trouble. And now that Ohme said the log charger (installed less than 9 months ago) shows some faults, they want me to pay for the replacement.
    I had it connected it to the car and to the Agile Octopus tariff and saw that it often ignores it and charges the battery to 100% at whatever price.
    A reboot fixes it, but when I contacted Ohme, they tend to easily blame it on the mobile network and on the car manufacturer API. But... the same mobile network works for the car app and how could an API issue result in the Ohme app showing different battery charge levels on different tabs at the same time?
    My verdict: Unreliable charger
