HOW TO INSTALL A CHARGEPOINT NEMA 14-50R IN 3 MINUTES!

What happens here

After all electrical connections are complete and secured, including the GFCI breaker and NEMA outlet, it's time for final assembly and checks. Replace the outer cover plate of the ChargePoint EV charger unit, which typically snaps into place. Close and secure the main electrical panel cover, ensuring the ChargePoint label is clearly visible. Turn the main power back on, and then activate the new GFCI breaker. Finally, test the charger by plugging it into your electric vehicle. The ChargePoint unit should light up, indicating it's ready to charge.

Goal: Complete installation, restore power, and verify functionality

Tools and materials

looking good so far. So, right now, I'm actually using my screwdriver. I am twisting on the cover plate. And right now, this is the outer cover plate for the charge point. It's just snaps on. Snaps. Snaps right in like a baby. And here is my brother Ken. He is plugging in the charge point to the Nema outlet, guys. And anytime you're installing a Nema 1450R outlet, guys, you want to make sure that wire is tight. It is torqued because there is going to be a continuous load depending on what amperage is your EV charger. So, in this case, we have 40 amps continuous load. All right, guys. But yeah, we just finished. So, I just want to give you guys a recap. So, the customer had a BMW iix, and honestly, it is a nice looking vehicle. Here's our charge point, guys. Came out super clean, super smooth. And look at this whip, guys. I need to get an electric vehicle. I'm trying to get a Tesla. But here guys, 40 amp GFCI breaker. We had a Cutler hammer eaten panel. Um, we threw a charge point label in. They come with the every charge point. So, throw the labels on. Here is our Nema outlet charge point. EV chargers are one of my favorite electrical jobs. Comment down below what's your favorite electrician job. And guys, customer satisfied. See you on the next one.
