Today we’re installing a Hypervolt 3.0 electric vehicle charge point. What do you think of this charger? Let us know in the comments. Thanks for watching!
@@mattsan70 Wire route was like that when we moved in and I never got round moving it. The split bit of timber behind it is on the to-do list. The timber was added last time I changed the bell push in order to get the wire in behind and avoid cutting the bell push casing - and this one has lasted many year longer than previous bell pushes. Now you know. 😀
Nice little job that dude. I installed an Ohme home pro a few weeks back, first EV install. It took a while to get the RCD trip sequence sorted. The Ohme charger has an installer mode that nulls the restart time after a fault. I thought that was a nifty feature. The device in the EVCP always tripped before the upfront RCD. 🤷♂ Great video as always mate.
Definitely a good idea. You’d be surprised how many electricians I’ve spoken to about the Hypervolt and they’ve complained about the random start making testing hard and they’ve not known it can be switched off!
That 3.0 looks loads better!! Nice that it comes with the little booklet aswell, it will save me getting messages of sparks asking how to set the load limit 👀😂
Informative video ! Quick question please . Is the lead connector holder a must have ? Can l loop the lead around the charger and leave the connector hanging?
Straight out of the box no, because there’s no protection from water entering the plug. However I’ve just fitted one this week and the customer bought their own rubber cover to do this
Pity you don’t cover Cornwall as it would be good to use you. Can I ask, does the supply have to go back direct to the consumer unit or could it take a spur from a 6mm supply to hot tub? Which is fed direct from the consumer unit. Where we park the car is no where near the unit and don’t want cables going all around the outside of the house?
I’ll be in Cornwall next month but for a holiday 😀 as for the supply, no you can’t take it from anything else. Being 7Kw it has to be on its own circuit
Great video! Question - I’m looking at getting the hyper volt. I have solar and DC battery storage. I would be looking to set this up so that the car charges when I’m exporting to the grid, where do u put the ct clamp for that? I don’t want to drain the house battery to charge the car. How would u set this and and where would you put the cat clamps? Thanks in advance
It’s in the regs now for all EV chargers, it’s actually worded wrongly saying double pole, but it has to disconnect the neutral as well under a fault which these will do.
You can yes but you would need the CT clamps to be wired back to the main incomer cables. And also a quick calculation to see if the 10mm can handle the charger plus whatever else it runs at the same time
@@Cablesmith misses charge, charges don't save data on the graph. Locks itself so doesn't charge, goes offline so doesn't record the charge, if you ask hypervault it's always something you've done. On night schedule charge plug in the day and starts charging. I posted it in the Facebook group they blocked me.
I have had problems with this charger too. You contact Hypervolt they give you a ticket and it never gets resolved. Its always “ oh it’s something we are looking into “…..
You lads did a fine job as usual. It's always a pleasure to see your brilliant work. Cheers.
Thank you for the kind comment mate!
@@Cablesmith Always my pleasure.
Glad to see you filming again pal. Enjoy your vids and content. Keep doing them, you been gone too long 👍. Hope your well…
Believe me I’ve wanted to, but been way too busy to be filming as well recently!
@@Cablesmith great that your busy pal, you need another apprentice to help you out 🤣.
that door bell though!
there’s method behind the madness
@@Cablesmith we just don't know what it is though

EV charger and Angle drilling, you'll be hearing from Jordan's solicitor 😂😂
Paaahahahaha actually made me laugh out loud that 🤣🤣

Hahaha yea man it’s miles better init!
@@Cablesmith yeah dude, is that a new template aswell? My old one doesn’t fit on the on the newer plastic hypervolts
@@Waynesworldofgaming yea I think this was for the Hypervolt 2.0 template. Fits the same this time tho
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍
Long time no see good video mate.
Thank you dude!
Nice video. I thought it was going to be an April fools video. I hope you did not fit the doorbell?
haha thanks mate but no April fools here I’m not prepared enough for that stuff!
Informative video !

When is the next video out Sean? I keep looking but nothing for 4 months. 😢
I’m slacking big time I know! I keep saying soon, I’ve even got 2 videos done just not bothered with uploading yet!
@@Cablesmith you need get some revenue coming in. More videos more views = more money.
@@CurtainFlapper haha that’s true, I wish I cared about money enough to take it seriously 😂
@@Cablesmith More you manage to save now, more of a luxury life when you retire.

Hi mate im in eccles, how do i book you for some work please?
Great Job btw!!!
Hi Amir, drop us an email
Info@cablesmith.co.uk
Thanks for watching too!
Would you recommend this charger or can you recommend a better one
I think it’s pretty good, maybe not as good as the zappi when it comes to connecting to the app etc tho.
Why do you need a double pole RCBO thought they were only needed when the N is bigger than the L
It’s in the regs now for all EV chargers, it’s actually worded wrongly saying double pole, but it has to disconnect the neutral as well under a fault which these will do.
Can I supply my charger from spare way in my attached garage cu? The cu is fed with 10mm cable. Cheers
You can yes but you would need the CT clamps to be wired back to the main incomer cables. And also a quick calculation to see if the 10mm can handle the charger plus whatever else it runs at the same time
@@Cablesmith cheers👍
Hope you enjoyed the video
SCREAM!
😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
First
Yessss 👏🏼
Soft or hard cheese?
Sorry?
You said every comment gets an answer. Do you prefer soft or hard cheese? 🤣
@@adamnoon9059 hahaha fair comment then! I I like a bit of Emmental or stinking bishop so I’d say soft-medium 🤣
This charger is complete junk don't buy it trust me
What’s the problem?

@@rajindernijjer ah that’s no good, and blocking you is unprofessional! I’ve not had any complaints from customers yet but I’ll be wary now
@@Cablesmith because people can't be bothered hypervault themselves told me they got issues.
I have had problems with this charger too. You contact Hypervolt they give you a ticket and it never gets resolved. Its always “ oh it’s something we are looking into “…..
