HOW TO INSTALL IYILO 48 AMP HARDWIRED EV CHARGER! | Day in the Life of a Residential Electrician

What happens here

With the back plate securely mounted, the main IYILO EV charger unit is carefully placed onto it, sliding down to lock into position like a picture frame. Next, a 4-inch metal junction box is installed directly adjacent to the charger. The charger's flex whip is then connected into this junction box using a 1-inch liquid-tight connector, which is crucial for a secure and weather-resistant connection. Inside the junction box, the three conductors from the charger's whip (black hot, red hot, green ground) are connected to the corresponding 8/2 Romex wires using appropriately sized wire nuts, ensuring proper L1, L2, and ground connections.

Goal: Connect the charger to the power supply via a junction box
