Electrician Installs a 24 AMP Tesla Charger in Customer’s Home, Would you get an EV? #electrician

What happens here

The presenter begins by introducing the project: installing a Tesla Wall Connector. He points out the newly installed connector and mentions its current setting of 24 Amps. He explains that this specific amperage was chosen because the installation is in a townhome, which typically has limited electrical power, specifically mentioning a 100 Amp main electrical panel. This necessitates de-rating the charger to prevent overloading the system.

Goal: Understand the project scope and the electrical constraints of a townhome installation.

Tools and materials

  • Electrical Panel — The main electrical distribution point of the residence, which determines the maximum available current
  • Tesla Wall Connector Tesla — The primary device being installed for EV charging

What they say

Hide

All right, so we just installed a Tesla wall connector 24 amp. You might be asking, why is it 24 amps? We're currently in a town home in East Brunswick. During the installation, 100 amp panel over there. There is certain limitations when you install these chargers and we had to derate the charger down because of the load calculation. So, as you can see, we ran 1/2 in conduit all down nice and low
