What happens here

The electrician proceeds to disconnect the old, damaged cable from the EV charger unit. They then prepare and connect new electrical wires (red, black, green, and white) to the appropriate terminals inside the EV charger housing. This step includes stripping the wires and securing them with terminal screws. This wiring modification is crucial for the planned upgrade, changing the charger's capacity from its original setting (implied 30A for 18 miles/hour) to a higher 40-amp output, which will allow for 24 miles per hour charging.

Goal: Replace the damaged cable and rewire the EV charger for a 40-amp output.

  • Electrical Wires — Replacing the damaged cable and upgrading the amperage capacity
  • EV Charger Unit — The main unit being rewired
  • Screwdriver — Opening the charger unit and securing terminal screws
