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

What happens here

The installer unboxes the IYILO EV charger, removing the main charging unit from its packaging. He shows the pre-attached 1-inch flex whip, which contains the wiring for connection: a black conductor (hot), a red conductor (hot), and a green conductor (ground). He explains that this is a 240-volt Level 2 charger and emphasizes that a 1-inch liquid-tight flex connector will be required for the final hardwired connection to the junction box. The video also displays the integrated 25-foot long charging cable.

Goal: Inspect the charger unit and its included components

What they say

Hide

technically a smart charger. Honestly, looks nice. Here is the charger right here. This is the Ilio charger. And I see it comes with a whip. So you can see you have your two hot conductors right here, your black, your red, and your green. So you got your two hots and your ground here. Cuz this is a level two 240-V charger. So when you install this charger, you must have a double pole circuit breaker. You must have a double pole circuit breaker, which I have right here. So this customer has a 100-A electrical panel. So we are installing a 40-A circuit breaker with this charger due to load calculation, load demands. And this charger you can install up to a 60-A circuit breaker. But in this case, we're installing a 40-A because you're able to derate it. You can install a 60-A breaker, you can install a 50-A breaker, you can install a 40-A circuit breaker. Uh and even as low as to a 20-A double pole circuit breaker. Nice thing about it is that, you know, cuz sometimes you can't do that full 60-A. It's a 25-ft long cord. And overall, looks really nice. So, we're going to get to the install. We're using 8/2 Romex wire because 8/2 8-gauge is rated for 40 amps. This charger is going to be putting out a 32 continuous amps as we're putting in a 40-amp circuit breaker. All right, guys. So, let's get to it. All right. So,
