How to Install an EV Charger - Legrand Hardwired Level 2 EV Charger 

Great video! Your procedure of fishing the conduit up the wall is GOLD! No drywall work! Cord under the garage door is questionable if you were in a cold climate. Thanks for sharing your expertise!

Awesome video! Very clear and easy to follow, thanks for explaining the entire process. I would love to apprentice under someone like you once I get into the apprenticeship! Keep it up and thanks for posting this quality content ✌️

It is such a great and much detailed vid on how to. Thanks a lot. I think I am ready to install mine fir the new BMW i4. Happy holidays!

Nice video! Very detailed and thorough step by step .Thanks .

Great Detailed, and nice clean work and very concise explanations . Much appreciated this. Thanks.

This was an awesome video, I really enjoy this type of content.

Great Video. One thing to check You need to check breaker 1a,1b. The original wires were on breaker 1&3 (A&B). When you put in the tandem breaker you landed them both on A Phase 1a,1b. If it’s sharing the neutral on a network it needs to be on different phases so you don’t overload the neutral.

💯Safe and clean work🙏 👋Greetings from Orange City Florida 🐊 😎✌️

Please please please upload more, LOVE your videos 😊

Great detail explained. Thank you brother

Nice, clean work.

Dude you're the Man! great vid.

Great job, keep up the good work

Craftsmanship superb makes me excited as an apprentice

Great video, Steven! Clear, great speed of explanation and clear on materials/tools used/needed. I'll save this video as reference. I'm a general/Handyman and I have wired in e few EV Charger receipts. Ive wired in many dryers(Yes electrical :). Thanks, for this video. Where did you purchase the Adjustable Pliers and the Strippers with Flat end?

Great video. Thanks for sharing

Thank You for All that you are doing for our Planet Earth.... Peace.. Shalom.. Salam.. Namaste 🙏🏻 😊 🌈 ✌ ☮ ❤

Good job sparkie

This was a great video. You lucky your wife don’t mind the pipe. My didn’t want to see a pipe so I had to open up the wall and get my carpenter friend to put it back up

Curious if you have changed the location of the charging cord dock? All but that, and what James mentioned below I liked.

👏👏👏 only issue i would have i imagine is my garage door would just open on it's own cuz there's resistance from the hose

i just joined the field 4 weeks ago and i want to find a great book for exam prep and training. im finding books on amazon but the reviews are all mixed and i struggle to find a book thats has good information. are there any training books that you recommend? i am in the residential field in the seattle area. thank you, your videos have taught me so much!

Great work. Very clean. But the charger rack for the cable? How do you close the garage 😮

Can you please do a video on how to prepare for and take the state exam 🙏🏽

Thank you, very clear. If it were a new home and dry wall wasn't there yet, I presume you would not use conduit and just run the wires inside the wall?

Legendary video!!!

Just curious why you chose to use fmc from the box to the lb instead of seal tight like you used from charger to the 4 11/16 box? Nice clean install.

Do you torque your connections at the panel?

Thanks so much for this. It will help me install ours when we pull the trigger on an EV. Question: I will need about 25 ft of cable length from the charger to the car because I can’t park close to the garage (slope/winter). Do I lose efficiency by having a longer charger cable ? Or should I run underground wire closer to the car parking location. And mount the charger outside ? Cheers mate 🥂

For the flexible metal conduit in the wall to the panel, don't you have to properly ground/bond it to the panel? Such as a grounding bushing or bonding locknut?

Hey Steven I just applied for limited residential 2.5 and got a ranking of 382 is that good?

How would this install change if you were to mount the EVSE (charger) on the outside of the wall? I assume you'd probably want to run the liquid tight conduit through the wall but you'd also want to do something to prevent water getting into the wall. Thoughts? Also, do you have to change the ampacity or pick a different temp rating for that THHN while running in the liquid tight conduit?

If that panel wasn’t bonded, where would you land the ground wire? Assume on ground bar. Would you then have to run a common too?

#8 ground? Could have gotten away with a #10 just an fyi. Great video tho keep em coming.

Is the top breaker not feeding a MWBC? That'd be two 15 amp circuits, same phase, with one neutral, potentially overloading the neutral. Could be remedied by putting it on the other tandem, though you should also have a handle-tie I think?

An advantage of hard-wiring vs using a charger w/ plug is that you need only run 3 wires - 2 hots and gnd, with no neutral since chargers don't need it. A 4-wire plug has a neutral terminal, though perhaps you could not wire it if only an EV charger would be using that plug, that would seem strange. Good for me since I have a 50 A 240 VAC wire to a former electric oven, so can re-purpose that long cable for future EV charging by terminating it in a box and continuing conduit to the nearby garage to a box for future hard-wiring. That cable had no neutral wire, which surprised me until I found typical, at least in the past, for large appliances like stoves and clothes dryers. A 2nd reason for not using a plugged charger is that the latest NEC code requires an outlet to have GFCI protection. A 3rd reason is that plugs can give resistance to melt and cause a fire. Re the video, I'm surprised your local code allows using a wire-nut to connect ground wires. I thought one had to twist the wires and use a copper crimp, though I've seen many youtubes wiring overhead lights where they use a Wago lever connector on the ground wires (to code?).

What size of wires did you hardwire ,? What brand did you choose? What brand is the 60 amp breaker?

Hello could you please let me know if we can use #6 white in place of #6 black? And will it be an overkill if we use all #6 thhn red, black and green wires ?

i have 200amp panel with all 30 breakers used up. One company give me an estimate with your solution involving tandem breaker with about $1400 quote. Two others insist to install a subpanel next to it with $2700 to $3500. Now that i have seen your work i feel good that first solution is not really wrong. anyone know why two companies insist on new subpanel; one of them didn't even visit though he did work on my house 3 yrs ago. i am in dallas and google does not say that i need a permit but one company says that i need it very good video ❤

Good content but you were measuring voltage and saying amps?

Great video as usual. Evergreen content here!

Is it a bi directional charger.

GREAT VIDEO!! My only question is, how can you close your garage door?? LMAO!!

How are you closing the garage door with the charger mounted on the outside of the garage?

watch out with that multibranch circuit bro!!!!! You should kw that already (overload neutral)...... booooom

great video, hows the garage door gonna close if u have it in the way like that ?

6:30 just gotta be carful with those tandums. The panel needs to be rated for their use and location.

So, red and black are L1 and L2. Was green neutral or ground? If ground, why didn’t you ground the j-box?

A gfci breaker is not required?

They should make a gard plate to protect you from the live wires.

Both, you and Legrand seem pretty "generous" if you know what I mean... wink wink

Why didn't you pull all the way through instead of splicing?

Grate Job exept those old Wire Nuts shurly there is a better Solution!

😂 my question is how you going to shut the garage door

At home charging systems should come with the price of the vehicle.

So how much do you make as an electrician

how is the owner closing the garage door?

Couldn’t you just run emt straight to the ev charger?

A generous 3 feet 😂

Current equals voltage / resistance. The same amount of current will pass through you touching a main lug as it would a regular outlet. Why are people so scared of panels

Always use a regular hammer 🔨 to punch a hole. Not a hole saw or a screw driver. It can be easily patched once your finish....i suggest this method it takes a neat hole no dusk no debris.

Will a neck tattoo affect my interview for the apprenticeship?

50 amps of constant current for 8 hours daily, I don't know if I'd trust those wire nuts.

why tf would you put the holster outside????

Does it make any sense to show people how to do your job? When you're out of work, maybe you can watch plumbing videos and learn a new trade.

you should've showed the ground wire connected to the ground bus after you were done wiring the 60A breaker. the fact you omitted proof of this most crucial step undermines the rest of the video which is otherwise painstakingly thorough. this is the method of youtube con artists who falsely pretend to have expertise.

Lets gooooooooooooo
