CUSTOMER HAS A DEFECTIVE CHARGEPOINT? HOW TO REPLACE AN EV CHARGER-DAY IN THE LIFE OF AN ELECTRICIAN

What happens here

After all internal wiring and the charging cord are securely connected, place the front cover back onto the ChargePoint EV charger and secure it with the two screws using the insulated screwdriver. Then, proceed to the main electrical panel and carefully flip the 40-amp circuit breaker back to the 'ON' position to restore power to the charger. Verify that the charger powers on, which is typically indicated by an illuminated light on the unit. Finally, wrap the charging cord neatly around the charger's housing for storage, ensuring it is ready for the customer to use. The electrician then confirms with the customer that the Wi-Fi is connected and that they can monitor their electric bill for car charging.

Goal: Complete installation, restore power, and verify functionality

Tools and materials

  • Insulated Screwdriver Milwaukee — Securing the charger's cover
  • Non-Contact Voltage Tester Klein Tools — To double-check for power at the unit's output if needed

What they say

Hide

connections. Very nice. You don't have to torque them. You just snap them in. And boom, guys. We're all finished. I'm about to turn on the breaker. And yes, guys, we did it. And I'm using my non-cont voltage tester to always make sure that we have power. And boom, we see the light on. So, light is on. That means, you know, we are good. So, I'm wrapping the cord around the unit. A customer is satisfied, guys. He was happy. We calibrated his new unit back to Wi-Fi. So, now he can see how much he's paying for an electric bill for his car charger. And here's the recap. All right. We just installed an electric vehicle charger for a customer. 40 amp breaker. All right. As you can see, we ran 82 ROMX in the wall. Customer didn't have a finished wall. So, you see the studs. So, it's technically unfinished. So, we fished ROMX wire in the wall as you can see up top around. We drilled into the stud and then came outside and boom. See the unit, guys? Clean as a whistle. Okay. Customer had a Nissan Leaf. So, didn't need the full 60 amp, just needed 40 amps. And uh because this the Nissan Leaf is not a full EV, it's a hybrid. Let me know what you think of this install. Overall, came out super clean. Super clean. If you need electric vehicle charger installed, hit me up. You know who to call. We do all of New Jersey. Hanelc.com.
