@@YourFloridaElectrician My brother installed and it was uneventful. I am very happy with the results. I went hard wired but with 40 amps and it's faster than I imagined.
Thank you great video. I learned allot. Is this on a 100w circuit or a 60watt. I think a 100w handles a 80 amp charger. Would that be a level 3 model ? Just a question I am new and just getting started.
Great video. Can you help me understand why there aren’t 2 hots (red and black), a white return, and then a ground? The plugged version uses 6/3 with nema 14-50. I appreciate any help. Thanks
Well Karl, The Ev charger is strictly 240 volts, no neutral needed. The plugged version 6/3 has that configuration because everyone is installing a NEMA 14-50 or range outlet which as two hot, one neutral and ground. The neutral on the plug going to the EV charger is not wired because it doesn't need it. A range on the other hand uses the neutral wire because it has 120-volt loads. Like the display and when certain heating levels of the cook top are desired. Hope this answers your question.

Why is it that you don’t just run the cable straight from the panel right to the charger? Why do you have a break in a junction box thanks sorry if it’s a dumb question, but I don’t understand why you have to stop and have a break. thanks for the help.
No dumb questions. Only the ones that are not asked. Bobby, the device I had there previously had its own “whip “ from the manufacturer. Not all manufacturers allow you to hardwire their devices. This one specifically allowed for it to run directly to the EV charger. In this case I would’ve had to pull a new run of number six wires which I didn’t wanna do. You’re absolutely right it would be better in the long run to have less connections. Just down the road I’ll be changing this one to another. Thank you for watching and commenting.
I decided to buy this very same model just because of this video so their sponsorship of this video is working for them. 😄
That’s awesome @elgatomarcus! Glad to hear. Are you doing the install yourself?
Curious of how your install came out? Do you want to share?

@ElGatoMarcus Glad to Marcus! Glad it went well. Enjoyed the charger. It’s the one I use most currently.
Worth it watching
Long video I know.
