You might want to check the batteries on your DJI mic or make sure the mic port(s) are not blocked. The background music almost drowns you out

Hi SOTA, Great video as always I’m looking to plan my own install for my home charger.. Doncaster EV ultra 4mm is rated at 45A and 6mm at 59A. My question is your using 6mm is there any reason you are oversizing ? for this or it’s just what you have on the van. I’m due to do my EV course next few weeks and doing some pre reading etc After I complete my course wanted to install my own charger, was going to run 4mm Swa EV ULTRA as there a little bit of the run that I want hidden under ground. Appreciate any response and look forward to all your other content Thanks,

@@sotaelectrical I just done a webinar with my Energy this morning and they recommended using 40A protective device & 6mm to install a Zappi. It’s over sizes but it’s what the manufacturer wants. It make sense why I found it so hard to pick up 4mm on the day and they only seem to stock 6mm. Appreciate the reply I wanted to get into EV and install my own the right way. Thanks

Price difference between buying new kit and having you fit it and having you take out the old and re install it can't be that much. Even if the new owners don't plan on using it straight away, its a huge barrier broken for them getting an EV later. What's £500 when you're swapping £300,000 houses?

I’d wager that those ‘other clips that require a 10mm hole’ have a higher fire rating than the combined fixings that were used? Horses for courses I guess. By the way at the start you refer to the issue of bidirectional RCBOs but the issue is with bidirectional protective devices. Good work professional install BTW 💪👍
