Why 240 Volt EV Chargers are Easy Money for Electricians, Would you do this? #hendythesparky

What happens here

Once all electrical connections are made inside the EV charger unit, carefully reattach the cover plate to protect the wiring. Neatly coil the charging cable around the integrated holster on the charger or a separate cable management hook. Finally, restore power to the circuit at the main electrical panel. Test the EV charger's functionality according to the manufacturer's instructions. Visually inspect the installation for neatness and a professional finish.

Goal: Complete the charger assembly, restore power, and verify functionality.

Tools and materials

  • Screwdriver N/A — Reattaching the charger's cover plate
  • Voltage Tester N/A — Confirming power is present and correct after restoration
  • EV Charger Cover Plate N/A — Protecting internal wiring of the EV charger

What they say

Hide

the charging cord right now. In order to get the EV charger at chest height, we installed 3/4in EMT conduit. This is a charge point hardwire connection. So it's a 240 volt EV charger with three conductors, two hot wires, and one ground wire. I put on the cover plate for the charger and wrap the cord around the holster. And I give the charger a pat on the back cuz we just finished. Clean as a whistle. Customer is satisfied. Now I want to buy my own EV. I pull my tools away. And that's how you make $1,800 in one day as an electrician.
