DAY IN THE LIFE OF A 24 YEAR OLD ELECTRICIAN - INSTALLING A CHARGEPOINT EV CHARGER IN TOUGH BASEMENT
What happens here
The video begins with an introduction to the project: installing a Level 2 electric vehicle charger at a customer's house. The initial assessment involves inspecting the garage to determine the optimal location for the charger, which the customer requested to be on a specific wall. The electrician then moves to the basement to inspect the main electrical panel, noting its current state and identifying an unused 20-amp breaker that can be replaced with a 50-amp GFCI breaker for the new charger. The basement also features a drop ceiling, which is beneficial for routing wiring without cutting drywall. The path for the wiring from the electrical panel to the garage charger location is planned.
Goal: Assess the installation site and plan wire routing
Tools and materials
