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.

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.

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.

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.

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 ?

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?

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

Great video. I was holding on for something specific but I haven't seen it yet and maybe this exist in other brands of chargers and that is "Access Control". Years ago I turned my garage into a family room so installing one of these on the outside of the house is a great idea. But other than turning the unit off at the breaker I'd like to see a unit with a lockout code or the ability to use NFC card reader of some sort almost like a public unit. This way your neighbor it some random idiot can't steal your electric to charge his vehicle while you're off at work.

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.

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.

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

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! 😊

It’s incredible that it’s legal to use bus bars like that in UK. In DK it has to be isolated wires

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?

Excellent video and excellent installation. However, I think that you need a new gate.😂

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?

Love watching your channel and this UK stuff, still electricity but different from the way we do it in the states.
