Morzak EV, a channel dedicated to all things electric vehicles, electric vehicle charging, and other related technologies. We’ll be sharing our electric vehicle owner experiences, (this includes living with, using, and improving our Tesla Model 3 and Peugeot E-Expert Van) discussing EV charging options for your home and business, and explaining charging and other bits of related tech.
@@MorzakEV do you have an email address to which I can send a video/photo? Brand new car picked up thinking it would be a breeze charging at home, now I’m at a service station charging it 😂
@@andymckenna5387 I can take a look but I stopped fitting these a long time ago because of issues like this. Go to our website Morzak.co.uk and send me the video and if I can help I will.
Thanks for the update, good to see that you are always looking at new products that provides the ability to give a feedback to customers that are looking for sound advice
Thank you so much. You’re a lifesaver. My car didn’t charge last night and as a 4 year veteran of EV’s now, I just presumed it had changed last night but it hadn’t. I didn’t realise until I was almost at work and only enough to get me home again. Limped home and plugged in only to find an issue. Messed around for ages and found this video and sorted it in 5 seconds. Well done. Charging again now to 100% in no time.
My work is resurfacing it's car park. They have refused to install EV charging even tho I pointed to these regs. They said it was not a build so the regs didn't apply. Are they right?
Im not an expert but if I had a gun to my head, I would guess technically and sadly yes, this might be correct, and would not fall under the building regulations. It seems very short sight to not even put in ducting though for future expansion.
Hi, amazing video, very detailed and looks like a simple installation. Did you have any problems with water going inside system and not draining properly? i could only see 2x small holes in the bottom corners, but nothing else? overtime has this caused problems?
No, they've been up there a few years now, and we've never had an issue. The holes are not actually that small, they're about 20-25mm and there is one front and back for each trough in the bucket, so quite a few holes.
None whatsoever, and we've had a lot of storms. We used 3 bags around the edges though. Just bear in mind, your position and building height and other factors may affect the wind loadings, and your building structure must be able to accommodate the weight.
We fitted the JA solar 325W Monos. There's a good guide here for what will fit: www.pluginsolar.co.uk/?product=renusol-console-5200-tubs-for-ground-or-flat-roof-mount Just make sure your panels have mounting holes in them already.
My MCB on a boat didn’t have a down position, but I pushed it down anyway, somehow it worked after 20 attempts to reset flicking up. Many many thanks, boat fixes cost a lot if they are down by certified dudes
Why do I need a registered installer to fit this charger, I have a very qualified electrician who installs multiple other chargers but cannot install this model due to Indra's specifications?
That’s not really true. Any electrician can install any charge point as long as they’ve done the ev course as they’re deemed competent. Any installer can do the Indra training (online and it takes about an hour) and you will also get the extended warranty. This is the same for pretty much all charge points unless they’re cheap rubbish.
Any tips on the filling of holes? I think definitely sticker on front for me. But maybe just removed bracket and stick plate on back. Dont like that big slot to fill 🤮😂
You can only really prioritise between devices that directly communicate, such as all myenergi devices. It’s a sad and disappointing fact in this modern age that these devices do not take to each other. I have caught eyes on a gadget though which can “trick” any device in to prioritising when needed. More on that in the coming months or later this year.
Love my Model 3, its the second EV I've owned, my first was a Peugeot e-208, which was written off in an accident, the Tesla is in a different league, so much better.
Regarding the comments 3 minutes in, about small Solar arrays not switching the Inverter, isn't this relative to the Inverter being fitted? Micro inverters exist, also I see companies like Solax including Inverters supporting from 700w to 3kw Strings and requiring a minimum 50-65v to start up the Inverter. Supplying 1.6-2kw into the house and/or battery would cover passive domestic usage. Your thoughts appreciated. Thanks.
Well, no one can argue that eBay with cheap EV’s charge points on offer are a direct competitor to some electricians selling expensive bundle installation packages, some of which are simply extortionate; some electricians charge upwards of £1750 to supply and fit a Zappi unit, which costs £700 if bought separately, meaning the electricians would pocket £1000 for a days job! A ripoff if you ask me!
I agree, although there’s enough competition out there that if electricians are charging extortionate rates, as long as a customer does their due diligence, they should be able to get something decent for a decent price.
@@MorzakEV I messaged company and it does not seem to be that straightforward. I have batteries in place at the moment and wish to buy more. Connect up my self but I don't seem to be offered the vat free prices. And I'm missing something?
@AdrianMcDaid sorry, yes, it needs to be a supply and installation. Just buying a product does not qualify. You would need to contact an installer like ourselves, it would probably be cheaper even with the installation.
I asked octopus energy 4 times for a home mini and this guy Mfundo sent out a IHD a in-home display what I already have so I’ve given up asking for one.
Good video. Added top tip: before removing the original plate use masking tape to mark the original position, this will save time measuring post removal. 👍
I think you’re missing the point - if you’re not getting an ev, you wouldn’t stick an ev charge point on in the first place. And most people will be getting evs in the next 10 years.
The numbers are already getting to a point where it has a significant affect on the grid. There are around 1.5 million EVs including (half a million PHEVs) on the UK’s roads today, and if this wasn’t put in place, the tax payer would be paying for infrastructure upgrades which are not required with this simple introduction.
One more thing to bear in mind - the uks energy production is shifting more and more towards green generation - which isn’t as stable as fossil fuels, but smart charging will help enable this transition
I said the same kind of thing to a Job centre once.The new signed system back then that you had too sign touch screen graphicly. I said you have to update your system memory because it will crash. And I was right it did. Morons 😅
It means the rcd needs replacing at least as it is unlikely to trip in the event of a fault. Of course, make sure the power is on before pressing the test button. Sometimes, cycling the switch a few times loosens the mechanism and it will start working again.
@@MorzakEV I will give that a try, although the place I bought it from said it's more likely a problem with the mode 3 controller (due to a compatibility issue with new cars)
Ah, ok, so if your charger isn’t working, then it’s not the rcd more than likely. The RCD will either be on (switch up) and will not trip, but will work fine, or off (switch down) and will be completely dead.
@@MorzakEV Ok, the car is still charging ok, but I have had occasional problems. I also get problems if I go over 22A. Mostly i charge at 10A as time is not an issue and we pay less for lower hourly consumption averages
Yeah, definitely nothing to do with the RCD or switch gear then. There's not much to the role units so a control module is the most likely issue. The only other possible scenario is a loose connection. The older roles were known for an issue with the neutral cable getting hot and burning which could cause funny issues. If your confident enough, you could turn the power off to the charge point at the mains, and remove the cover. You'll know if there's any damage as it will have that horrible burning cable fishy smell, and you'll see the wires going in to the the RCD are brown or blackened.@@raafox
I know this is an old video, but i am struggling to decide between this and a Hypervolt Pro 3. I like the the fact that the Eassee is not as in your face as say the tethered Hypervolt charger,... i work from home so will only need to charge my car a couple of times a week,.. so getting the charging cable from the boot wouldnt be a problem. I think the Hypervolt is more bang for your buck as you get a tethered cable, it will do solar and it has load balancing. Decisions ...decisions.
In Glasgow area and neighbour has 3 phase head with one phase to their meter, one phase connected to a cable supplying my meter and 3rd phase terminated in an unused fuse. DNO saying they require to put in a new direct supply to my house before they will permit ev charger to be installed.
Sorry to hear that. That sounds unusual, and these situations need resolving much more quickly really. I think think by rights, depending on the existing demand of your household, there is a way you could install one sooner.
Hi there, very intrigued by the smart features but what’s stopping someone turning up while I’m out and hitting the boost button. Can this charger be locked? Does it have Wi-Fi ?
This charger, and the new version (check out the new video) has options for Wi-Fi and 4G. I believe in the new software, the charger can be locked. To be honest, though, ChargePoint electricity theft is not really going to be an issue. Someone would have to be there for a long time to steal a small amount of money’s worth of electricity.
Yes Scotland must have been an eye opener for you if it were your first visit? There are many places inland one should visit, even the Scottish islands that will take your breath away! Mind your midge net and skin so soft!
