Man, when I installed my Solar 10 years ago, I wouldn't even dream of how quickly the we got to this point. At the moment, I am manually doing the "solar" charging on my Tesla, and as I get back to the office, post covid, it is less relevant for me but I am happy to see this innovation.
A couple of comments/observations. Not really a factory tour as we saw nothing being assembled/manufactured. If I were cynical I'd say the units were bought in from overseas, tested on site (as shown) then sold to the general public. Secondly, top knot Hypervolt guy mentioned Netflix during your conversations, but didn't indicate how this was relevant to their business model. Netflix work on a subscription basis i.e. one pays a monthly fee to access their service. Hypervolt don't appear to follow this, so if, say, everyone in the world has bought a Hypervolt charging point, from where would their business derive it's income?
Everything is made in the UK, from parts to finished product. We do buy small parts from overseas as much as anyone else, but we don’t have any manufacturing or staff outside the UK. Netflix may have been confusing, in the sense that we hope to become a platform to bring software between the energy providers and our users, by means of offering a real time load management tool to energy providers.
Super Eco, Eco & boost? It’s nice to see Hypervolt are adopting ideas from the Zappi charger I have installed at my house, amazing bit of kit the solar integration! I’ve saved so much money using it this last year, myenergi must be a huge inspiration! 🤗
It isn't, and that's not saying MyEnergi doesn't offer you something compelling, but we follow a very different direction. Mode names are standard across chargers, not just Zappi, but our product works without a hub, without extra CT clamps, out of the box, and for significantly less money. Now all manufacturers make different trade-offs, but in many fundamental ways we tend to do things differently than Zappi. Whether that fits your bill or not is indeed a separate matter.
@@hypervoltev Price wasn’t my concern, I will pay anything for a quality product. That should be a motto for every EV enthusiast out there. These chargers will be the most used appliance in the house. And for me safety does not have a budget, all EV charging manufactures are incredible in there own right but as a retired electrical engineer, I wanted the best PEN protection technology money can buy.
@Hamilton Crocker Absolutely! A lot of people end up comparing us to MyEnergi, which do a lot of awesome things in their own right, but as with any market this big, every company gets to speculate about what most buyers will need. We really don't feel Zappi has to go anywhere for us to succeed, in fact it's a great thing that British manufacturers which are very focused on innovation are able to grow and capture significant market share, as opposed to a lot of products coming in from other places without pen fault, without a focus on the British market and consumer, and no benefit to local economy, or a high quality offering to the consumer. MyEnergi are a great hardware company, and sure we all have our shortcomings, but if the future yields a fantastic success for both companies, and many other local manufacturers in this space, that would be a fantastic outcome, putting the UK and its superior engineering ability at the forefront of the EV revolution, not just now, but at mass adoption.
@@hypervoltev Couldn’t agree more! Well said, I’m sure there is plenty of room for you all to progress and reap the rewards of this faced paced industry. It’s great seeing British innovation, I am looking forward to seeing all of your and your competitors future projects! Keep it coming 🙌🏻
I like this type of variation on video. Nathan did a brilliant job on photography although may be struggling to catch up with Thomas Nagey’s folksy style and innovative screenshots. Think Mr Bundy is being left in the dust by the leap forward in content and videography but for raw and varied content he is a must watch. Kudos to hypervolt for embracing RU-vid vloggers and the constructive replies to comments below.
Awesome you visited Hypervolt! Also Love to see the view outside.. Double Decker bus AMAZING! Enjoy your trip there. You should get ultra Black special at your home. Thumbs up! Cheers!
@AretecE I'm happy to reply in person. That was an installer underselling the product, but selling our options at a higher price(which we do not allow), cutting all possible corners with installations, selling warranty to people without registering it with us and keeping the funds, illegally. To date, we've replaced 60% of their installations, and the list of complaints keeps piling. You tell me what you would do better, because I will certainly do it without hesitation every time someone exploits our product and customers. After we've warned 10 times very politely. Sorry you got to witness something like that, but that was the lid blowing off after countless problems and warnings, and we will never compromise the experience of our customers in favour of any third party that's cutting any possible corner just to make a profit, by pretending they are more affordable. You may rightly be put off by the reaction, but hopefully you can see it wasn't any kind of greed driving it. If you were to ask our installers, they might say we go to incredible lengths to offer them the best support as well.
I was actually on Hypervolts live chat starting a conversation about a possible purchase / install , based on your home install video, dropped your name and got tipped off that this video was just about to drop. Very impressed with the testing process.
You need to complete a 4 year apprenticeship after school or go the adult apprenticeship route. Basically working for a company and going on college leave . Both are the only recognised ways to become an electrician here In Scotland. I think England is probably the same
@@B60901 plenty of kitchen & bathroom fitters that would debate that 🤔🤔🤔🤣🤣🤣 and let’s not forget the guys who put their work vehicle in the stables at night before hanging up their gun belt and kicking off their spurs
Not a chance in hell. Wait until they have some decent quantities out in field service for some time. Then we’ll really know the true reliability, functionality, security etc status!
@@ThePrawlin They already have decent quantities out and I would not be so confident in saying so convincingly not a chance in hell. I suspect you have not met the team which not only has ambition, but also consciousness, creativity and a huge amount of knowledge. All of the members in the team are actually highly skilled in their own field and everyone is ahead of this own game. Products are being developed everywhere, but to have a proper team - that's the one golden ticket that will take off anyone's crown.
I like that black charger it looks smart. Its nice to see the area where I live has started installing many more public charging points on pedestals & lamppost in side streets this needs to be done in all areas and a lot more needs to be done to encourage the use of electric cars motor scooters & motorcycles. Nice informative video. I do not have a electric car yet but I do ride a Zero DS fantastic electric motorcycle.
Then get a Zappi. It’s had solar integration for years and it works great. To Jordan. There’s nothing new about bidirectional CTs. You make it sound like it’s an amazing innovation. It’s bog standard stuff.
The clever bit is using one CT to do both grid and PV monitoring. I don't think anyone else is doing that right now. Yes, Myenergi have done solar integration for ages, but credit where it's due
@@JamesScholesUK Zappi can operate perfectly with fully automatic solar integration, using it's standard included single *bidirectional* CT on the grid incomer. It can measure solar grid surplus power and automatically match the EV charging power to charge it with just the solar surplus. The optional additional solar CT does not affect the Zappi functioning. It simply enhances the logged and displayed data. It is entirely optional.
It’s from watching your video that we’ve decided to go for 2 Hypervolts at our new work premises but we are really wanting the space grey option cover to match the exterior of our building…just waiting for the electrician for the Kent area to contact us for a quote
can all the front LEDs be turned off? or is this in fact the user interface? Many users may want a discrete EV charger than is not putting on a light show for neighbours and attracting unwanted attention !!
It does feel a bit of a shame that Zappi has to all intents and purposes been 'cast aside' from being your preferred charger and you singing its praises. It does have a whiff of you finding a better friend and abandoning the old one but perhaps that's just me being unfair
I’m always on the lookout for new better technology I don’t like to get stuck in time installing one thing just because it’s in my comfort zone, when I find something new that is good I like to shout about it to help other people find out about it too, just like I did with Zappi in the past when they were the best thing on the market.
I'd still go for a Zappi, myenergi are a much more mature company, they manufacture right down to populating and soldering the PCBs in house and have a new factory in construction outside Grimsby. Flash Canary Wharf offices with a ping pong table does not fill me with confidence that Hypervolt are past the start up phase and if they run out of money and those cloud hosted services will go that fancy box on the wall becomes a either a useless brick or dumb charger.
It’s getting harder to work out if you really do like the products or there is incentives behind it, think you should say it from the outset! it can do solar now but what about solar and battery?
I wouldn’t recommend a product if I didn’t like it, I get approached by hundreds of brands every year who I say no to because I don’t believe in their products and won’t compromise my integrity, I am very selective about who I choose to work with.
@@artisanelectrics what I’m really getting at is trying to work out the affiliation between you/your company and the products, especially on the EV side it would be good if there was a clear we use this product but have no vested interest in it or the company, similar thing happened to the computer industry and I would hate it to go down that route. This is aimed at being constructive criticism and I hope you take it in the way it’s ment. I enjoy watching the channel especially the EV side but new chargers are coming out all the time with new and better features which may be exploited it’s good to know the security behind the products too 😉 have a good Bankholiday
Just wanted to say thank you I had no idea what I wanted to do after I leave school I’m just about to go into my last year and now know I want to be an electrician and that was down to your team and inspiring me so thank you. can you please make a video of how to become a electrician
Thats awesome I am glad you like our videos, I did make one about how to become an electrician here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MuWNlNGIrZY.html
My EV charger isn’t internet connected. Like anything, if you want clever features you can pay more and get something complicated and connected. You can also buy a cheaper, really simple charger which “just charges”.
Hey Peter, we are working super hard to bring a 4G solution, which means you can benefit from all of this with no internet in your home. It's still not perfect, but if you have even modest 3G/4G coverage, you will be sorted.
@@artisanelectrics Sorry i completely disagree with that comment you can't assume that is the case. the only reason my parents and in laws have internet and all the setting up, managing including mobile phone is down to me and after years of use i still need to assist them. the reason for them getting internet is for the grand children and do there weekly on line food shopping for them.
What a Dream to have been invited to there factory wow. I spotted hypervolt previously and for me it would be the only ev charger I would sell. I have had issues and dealings with other ev chargers in the past and customer service was negative. So hypervolt gets a gold star. Your questions regards control, I would not sign up to anything that took my control away, I feel this is going to happen to all ev owners. As you stated yourself yourself you need to plug your car in and use your car van at 7am for work. Not far away we will require 2 chargers per home. And both need charge to get to work, so yes taking control away because our net work is not able to keep up with demand woukd not be acceptable, its the networks way of not keeping up with the future and saving again money to make money for share holders. That aside I am saving up for a hypervolt. G
Your control would never be taken away, because no solution can work if you cannot get to work in the morning. We're working with a number of DNOs to trial certain solutions across Europe, and this is something that will take years to perfect, because it's just a very complex problem. Will mistakes be made? Sure, but that's a good thing, because it means decisions are being made and followed through. No one is going to arrive at a viable solution without a lot of trial error, we'll do our best for that process to be as fast as possible though.
@@hypervoltev what i am saying is i ,i have one, charge car and that is all i want ,no apps, or having to have a internet connection ,to set it up ,,and when not in use to just switch it off ,why i say that is having them outside they can be used by anyone who has a electric car ,anyway mine would be fitted with a lockable box around it
@@malcolmone1 There is locking functionality available in the app. Is it not cheaper to have a smart device you can easily control than to install all those things around it?
@@hypervoltev currently I have a huge issue with how I want to charge my car, and I have done research on other ev chargers. At present at my location with my ev charger, top branded. I use economy 7 and set my car up on timer so it comes on at 13:30am and stops at 08:00am this is the cheapiest for me. But I have an 8kw solar system. In the summer its no issue, its the start of winter which is now where we have low light, so my solar is up and down. Problem is i cannot set my current charger to allow me to work off solar only but override this and continue to charge at My set time. To complicate things for my wife, I have 2 ev leads, I have one which I have changed the resistors to 1k so that I only get 2.3kw which is the average solar production during poor light conditions. All this does is makes sure I use less grid which costs me. Then I need to swop leads for night charging on economy 7. Anyway the hypervolt actually does allow me to use solar only and still will charge at my economy 7 tariff. So shows you how this great product is future proof allowing me to save money and its future proof. What not to like.
So here's a question, I live in a terraced house like millions of others in the UK. How are we going to charge EVs in the future, what's your thoughts? No car parks within walking distance, seems this is a flaw in the whole government plan as to having all EVs in the next X years
There's also a trial initiative in Scotland involving pop-up on street L2 chargers installed near the kerb. Looks like a potential solution for charging without driveways
Don’t forget the range that new EVs can now do on a charge, 300 miles from a Kona is common, include that into 150kw fast chargers which are starting to appear these can top up your battery extremely quickly. Yes there are still hurdles and barriers but slowly things are starting to turn.
You or your Local Authority may not know it, but there is funding available to pay for the civils work installing a grid in the pavement outside your house, so that a charge lead can pass under the pavement rather than over it. The installation work is alleged to take around 30 minutes. All your Local Authority has to do is to *apply* for the funding.... Incidentally, you don't have a petrol station outside your home, yet you don't see that as a problem? Just saying....
@@Brian-om2hh no I don't have a petrol station out the front, but I can get a quick splash and dash from one, get maybe 200 miles into the tank and paid for in less than 4 to 5 mins, I don't yet own EV but how long would it take to get 200miles in power into one? Just an honest question.
Is it okay if i install this myself at home? I'm not an electrician, but a controls engineer (automation) and have 18th edition as well. Or does it need to be installed by a registered electrician with gold card?
if they can keep there customer service and the quality of equipment they will be a force in the market, i find customer service is the biggest problem at the min
Better apps, cheaper, faster to commission, automated firmware upgrades, designed to work without a hub, so self contained, better support, and the list goes on. There are still somethings the Zappi can do better in certain directions, some people like having an LED screen on their charger, and so on. There's no one size fits all solution in a market that will eventually cater to "everyone".

Are all the plugs/hoses/ guns what ever you called on these things universal so once you have a setup installed It will work for every electric car ????
I wish you lived near me in Blackpool. Electricians are such a variable bunch. Some struggle with 3 phase theory (I'm a mechanical engineer and I understand it!) and some are as knowledgeable as you. I would love to go off grid as much as possible, heat pump, solar, Tesla walls etc. Who can I trust not to rip me off or f**k it up?
Couldn't be more pleased that I have one on order. Shame the order went through last week before the black was available. Love they have taken the Tesla approach to Software updates. You're purchasing an improving product!
15:00, The Strain on the Grid. National Grid have already stated enough capacity exists, in fact the most demand seen historically was 62GW in 2002, demand has dropped on average in recent years. The complicated challenge though is the issue of when that power demand actually happens. I can also refer you to an interview 9 Months Ago on Top Gear YT between Chris Harris & Graeme Cooper (National Grid).
There will not be as much "strain" on the grid as you might think. After all, if we're all driving EV's then we won't be buying petrol or diesel, will we? So the huge amounts of electricity previously used by the oil refineries will be available as spare grid capacity. They won't need to refine it if people aren't buying it and using it!
@@Brian-om2hh As per above comment, you're completely right about the grid. The backbone of our electrical system is strong, it's the "veins" that run into residential areas that cannot cope wit everyone driving EVs, as they were never built with the idea that everyone would have a 7 - 11kw consumer in their home.
@@hypervoltev I don’t buy that. Some years ago “electric central” heating using multiple 2-3kW storage heaters on economy 7 was quite popular. They took enormous power and all switched on at virtually the same times. Then there’s electric showers consuming 7-11kW. The network survived those big consumers without any serious issues.
Hey Linkall, which ones? Genuinely curious and sincerely hope you don't mind the question. Agreed on solar, that's becoming a standard, although Hypervolt is the only product that offers that out of the box with no additional cost, no hubs, no extras to purchase.
Is it just me, or is there a missed merch opportunity to turn the unit into a backpack design? It could even have an in built phone charger or charge from kinetic energy from movement or body heat.
Hey Jordan, did you speak to Hypervolt guys about a potential to use connected cars as batteries to aid the grid when not in use. Say your Tesla is not in use on Saturday and grid can use some of its power (obv pay you for it) when in need…???
It was a good video. I do have one thing I would like you to ask them to look at. I work shifts, and as such they change every two days. Only being able to set up start and finish times once for every day on cars and chargers is a royal pain. I have to set it up every day individually, sometimes I forget to, consequently I don’t bother. Would really be good if they had an integrated calendar so you could set up your week or even better months charging profile. Sometimes I start work at 7am sometimes 7pm so I can’t just leave it set to be charged for 6am every day. If you could plan the whole month that would be a step ahead of everybody else.
@@artisanelectrics I was a bit amazed my Tesla couldn't do that tbh. The outlander had the ability to set it up for the week. Which was better than nothing. Still it's a Tesla and I love it for almost everything else it does do. 😁
@@redcrow2006 That's a really cool idea, we can certainly do it! Not a use case we've been asked to implement before, but certainly something we can look at!
So they are connected through my WiFi which means it goes through my unreliable WiFi signal ?????? What security are you running & sense battery heating up !! And what security do they run whilst protecting my information ??? A response would appreciated ( 5 Star ⭐️ is under threat )
That's an area where we truly shine, in terms of software, and even subjected to pen testing recently alongside other manufacturers, no vulnerabilities were detected. We constantly work to improve our solutions of course, but all your data is encrypted, advanced encryption is used during the pairing process, chargers are hard locked to your account and so forth, which prevents someone walking up to the charger and taking control of it. Even if someone were to hijack your Wi-Fi, they would struggle to steal away your Hypervolt data, and this is something we work hard to constantly improve.
Can I ask a question??? On another video you recommend changing 16mm L+N to 25mm L+N cables . What is the diameter of the incoming supply cable on that one . On mine it seems like a 16mm concentric bringing in the supply . So basically no point changing the Tails to 25mm if the supply diameter is less . How do we get around that problem . Thanks , and enjoying your videos
I'd have thought that as an arse covering exercise, upgrade the bits you're responsible for so they're up to the task, then pass it to the DNO to solve their bit, then they can't come back at you with the "you need to have xyz replaced" etc. Future proofing I'd say.
@@royking1 yes , but if you tell the client that their incoming supply cable is not up to the task you will scare the hell out of them . So they contact their authority. How long would it take and at what cost would a new supply cable of a minimum of 25mm take . So , can the client use their charger in the meantime. Probably not . Moreso in an older house with a lead sheath cable . So why fit it and charge ( oops ) for the installation of it . A chain is only as strong as its weakest link . Hopefully Artisan replies .
Love the channel. I’ve just recently completed my level 3 college course with a distinction. What’s the best way to go forward from here. I’m currently working full time with an electrical company and studying for my 18th edition exam
You need to get experience now for a few years to really learn the trade as what you learn in college is very limited compared to real world experience
You should ask Hypervolt if they wish to send someone to see a practical wiring installation. Often it helps a manager of a manufacturer to be involved in a full installation of their product
Love the look of the new Hypervolt EV charger but I still like the design of the Andersen charger because you do not see any cables once you've finished charging. The way Andersen have incorporated this into their design is simply brilliant. No one wants to see cables wrapped around a charging unit. No matter how good their units may be, they look untidy when you see the large cable wrapped around it. Perhaps Hypervolt could do something similar. For now Andersen get my vote, that is until Hyper volt can come up with a similar design like the Andersen. As usual another great video Jordan. 👍
Andersen design is cool cable wise, but it's 4 times the size profile, and twice the price. While the design choices and cable design may appeal more to some people, we focus on creating something a lot more affordable, and we are significantly cheaper than an Andersen(50%), or even a MyEnergi product(25%). While Andersen will have the upper-hand in customisation, that kind of approach is very difficult to execute at scale. On software however, there is simply no comparison between what we can offer, Andersen will downright short change you on features by quite some distance. We tend to care a lot about design, but not where it limits us from scaling our ability to help millions of customers, or be generally a lot more affordable than the current top end of the market!
@@hypervoltev I would agree with you on pricing but increasing the size of the Hypervolt if manufactured in mass would drive down the price making your product more attractive in the market place. If the unit could be made slightly bigger where the cable could be hidden from view, I for one would be interested in buying one. From a buyers point of view, if you take an average person who only wants to charge his or her car, then I'm afraid design does come into the equation and the technology and the inner workings of a product will be overlooked by someone who is looking for a stylistic design. In having said that there are people of course who simply don't care what it would look like if its cheap enough and does the job. The problem with the latter is people that don't really care about the look, will not also care about its blips and whistles proving it works and does the job.
@@terencecottington4273 We would suggest looks are an area where we tend to do a lot better than most companies, Andersen being the exception. While you are right about volume manufacturing, even installers will tell you the approach Andersen takes does bring shortcomings, and from a large scale manufacturing point of view it's simply an impossible strategy to execute on. Our products are however not the worst looking. No accounting for taste though!
@@hypervoltev I would agree with that, your products are quiet nice and do look very modern. In the near future depending what happens on a personal front, I would possible consider your product if I was confident I could make a cabinet for it to fit into whereby I could hide the cable once I finished charging the car.
Sure would be nice if there was regulation here in the US to force manufactures to use the same standards when it comes to car charging. There are so many different ones in use here there is no single charger than can work on every car right out of the box be it AC chargers or DC chargers. Oh and did I mention we have the same issue with cell phones too! 🤷♂️🤦♂️
I shall be getting a home car charger before the OZEV EVHS government grant is taken away. I have a dilemma that I need your help with. HYPERVOLT or ZAPPI. I do not have Solay yet but intent to get Solar in about a year. Can you please advise soonest
@@hypervoltev good to know guys! One of the nicest products our there and neat with a tethered cable. Switching to EV in January so will look into hypervolt.
@@zlmdragon. the car could end up becoming live and if you touch the car you could/will get electrocuted. always when looking for a EV charger try to see if it has this feature built in. you can save a lot of money than if you had to have an external pen unit installed. e.g. the Zappi dose, the Ohme doesn't as far as i can tell. hope that help.
Hello Guys, my name is Javier and I live in Spain ,,,, I've been following you, almost a year and I really like everything you do !!! !!! I wanted to know if you could help me, which I would appreciate very much. I would like to be an electrician, there in England and I wanted to ask, what kind of certification or course, I would need for it. Here in Spain, I have studied electricity a couple of years ago, but to be able to work in England, you need an English certification. Can you help me? In advance, Thank you very much !!!! Greetings from the Basque Country !!!!
The cost The cost !!! you forgot the installation cost !!! as well perhaps it is out of reach once you buy the car 🚙 or Super !! Exciting !! Awesome !! Or it’s so out our pockets for many many years 😳😳
Yes its checked before it leaves the factory ,but there is that bit of getting it delivered safely, and knowing the service in this country ,there is a chance of it getting damaged ,not seen one on a pedestal, you been installing some on pedestals,, swanky offices, testing customer services in customer services ??????????
@@mickbitchum4664 basically it could a pandemic that has cause a global shortage of electronic components across every sector including EV cars, the fact they have redesigned the units to use different integrated circuits so they can try and get production up and running to attempt to meet demands is not an easy task on top of that they made a pubic apology
It should be mandatory for all chargers to be able to take power from the car during the day to the minimum of 30% to help the grid and put it back overnight.
Interesting presentation. The overriding question for westernised economies is how to de-carbonise every aspect of life. Almost every movement of goods, food, people, and so on still relies far too heavily on diesel fuel. This continues because of the way the distribution of. goods and services is centralised on specific hubs - China being one such hub. Supermarkets do exactly the same which massively increases food miles. Solar, wind, and tidal power by all means, but alone it will not cut the excessive 7 tonnes per person per year carbon footprint of western Europe - the USA double that figure. EV’s are not necessarily going solve the problem either because of the finite resources that this planet can provide. This is one of many interconnected issues that have not been addressed by governments worldwide because of chasing the fairytale of growth economics. There are some very fundamental questions that are not being addressed about maintaining lifestyles that are not sustainable.
What I thought was nice was seeing the factory. So often now, there’s products that claim to be innovative but they’re actually just made in China because that’s the cheapest way to make them.
It's nice they're aiming at local grid, I have lost count of the amount of times people have had chargers installed lately, or their neighbors and we've found the local grid just can't handle it as the cable supplying the street has decayed. People have to remember we're now going into an EV push with supply cables that haven't been renewed since the 1940-1950s in many suburbs all over the UK with even older cables in some city centers. National grid and power generation is fine, provided that everyone doesn't try to turn them on over night, thankfully a country of EV's only is a good 2-3 decades out due to the chip shortage and lack of forethought by governments and energy transporters allowing some time for them to get their assets in working order. It's nice that thhey're building a mesh but as has become publicized by the government some over the air update enabled chargers aren't secure and because of the way they're designed they will never be 100% secure. It's always going to be a race to keep ahead of anyone that might want to break into the system and do something like a ransom wear attack.
Plus hydrogen technology is starting to be developed which is going to give us similar ranges in engines similar to the units we have today , not reliant on the national grid which is just not going to cope with millions of cars plugging in every night
The infrastructure of the national grid is definitely a concern. They need to be pro-active upgrading supplies in areas with known issues, especially in more affluent areas where EV take up is going to be likely, 3-phase being preferable!
Chip shortages are definitely slowing things down, but not for long. The problems are massive, but we see opportunity in the product we call Ultragrid. Certainly some will challenge its salesy name, but it's important to remember we work to serve a very wide audience, not just the tech savvy viewers here. However, the ability to really balance the grid, and later offer one of the most advanced and responsive mass scale V2G integrations to DNOs is something unique to Hypervolt. It's not a complete solution, but it will everyone very very far along the way. There are other things that must be done to enable mass EV adoptions, which will take years to build.
@@mickbitchum4664 They havent got the capcity needs more substations and a complete upgrade of underground cable my home rated at 40 amp got it upgraded to 80 amps cables linked underground too , my earth is tncs neighbours tnc house built 1930's its bad enough now if we both shower at the same time all lights phyically dim imagine plugging in a couple of cars to charge , no chance of 3 phase , and lets be sensible most people these days have at least one car on the drive most have two or three if you have young adults living with you . Load balancing might work but the first time you walk out the door and your cars not charged your going to switch that feature off straight away , they have just not thought this out
So Jordan is the main reason you’ve moved away from Myenergi due to stock or also because of the issues you’ve come across since installation with remedial callouts we saw in a previous video either way really enjoy the videos
Thanks I’m glad you like the videos! Reason I am not relying on them any more is both supply issues and quality issues, I was forced to try other options and so glad I found hypervolt as they are great!
@@artisanelectrics interesting well I’m currently in the process of pricing 3 EV charge points on one site and will look at hypervolt over myenergi as I was going on your previous recommendations just need to look into their 3-phase chargers

I still won’t be buying one, however, as this outfit just screams “here today, gone tomorrow”.
Thank you for your feedback. However, it's very easy to pass judgement from the outside having no familiarity with the economics of a company, but perhaps an unfair point of view. As always, judging something by looks alone is perhaps not the perfect vantage point to have full visibility over all we are doing and what we are building. Did you know the perceived "biggest" companies in this space have always lost money, every year of their existence? Worth questioning their viability perhaps.
