- In this video you’ll see how I installed a new electric vehicle 50 amp/ 240 volt branch circuit for a new “hard wired” Juice box in Westfield, NJ. Also in this video a new MLO “sub panel” is installed to make room in the main breaker panel for the new circuit breaker(s).
Electrical Wiring is NOT a hobby. Call a licensed electrician!

QO The Way to go!
"Expect us to make chicken dinner with chicken shit" I love it and so true!
Oh yeah! That specific language gets the message across.
Always enjoy your videos Ron. My question is why didn’t you move 6 circuits over and sell them a whole home surge protection device as well ? But yeah man I run into a lot of crazy ev charger install projects as well. I’m mostly installing the Tesla super chargers or nema 15/50 receptacles. But that was a nice job man 👍🏼
Thanks!
What's the minimum inspection fee in NJ...I hate to ask...😂😂
Hey Ron, I have that same label maker because of you. I love it except in between every single label it cuts and wastes about a half inch of label. Does your do that too?
Yes! Sometimes the tape jams up too. Not terrible.
Good: it does charge my 2015 Tesla Model S 85 from 16% to 80 in about 4.5hrs (240 circuit, 40A with a 50A breaker), Tech Support easy to reach, 50/50 understanding language
Bad: software crap. Software doesn't detect current battery level, so you either have to set the starting % in the apk on your phone, every time you charge your EV or accept that the error message you will get from the Juicebox is irrelevant. Fortunately the Tesla apk reported the correct information. I am totally disappointed with the software, and solely for that reason, I would never recommend this product to anyone. The information should simply report what charge was applied but to indicate the current level of the battery state and not be able to read the current state is terrible, for all the money the Juicebox Cost, Shame on ENEX
so you do in fact use this brand charger?
Would you be willing to share the cost of this install?
🤣 "Make chicken dinner with chicken $#!+", story of my life!

Ron, welcome back!
I hear you about not messing inside of the customer's panel any more than what the scope of your work is, but what I do to protect myself from those exposed bare lugs is that I cover them with squares cut out of Scotch 2228 "raw rubber" tape. They stick to metal very well, and they cold-fuse to each other and themselves, forming a rubber coat around what was a bear lug. I push them in place with a small plastic spatula.
Have a Merry Christmas, hope to see more of your videos soon!
Great idea!
Nice job Sir
I am master electrician from Toronto ON and really glad to watch your video.
Reallu usefull. Blessing
Hey Ron! Nice work as always brother! Have a very Merry Christmas to you and your family. Happy and Healthy
Excellent video! Thank you! I am always impressed with your creativity that you use to solve problems. The idea of using the round hole to push your flex into that ceiling cavity, and then over to your access hole was neat to watch. Looked like a challenging installation but you pulled it off and it looks fantastic. Always learning from you.
Really awesome to hear that you’re teaching apprentices! I’m a first year myself and i have watched every one of your videos over the past few months. You’re really knowledgeable and a great teacher. I really appreciate you passing on the skills of the trade to a younger generation in the classroom and online. Merry Christmas!
Ron,
Excellent videos. Would appreciate some commercial/industrial wiring videos, especially ones involving 3-phase, 480v, transformers, etc.
Thank you very much!
I’m not really doing much of that work.
Also, (still watching video), check out the Bosch SDS dry coring bits. I keep the 1-9/16 and a few other sizes in my truck, and they are awesome. They eat brick like no one's business. Also, you can get a generic switch for the hotbox for like $12. We had to get one a few months ago
Very cool. I used to have the Bosch corded SDS Max but it got stolen. Bosch has a lot of good stuff.
Great Video. Thank you for sharing. Have a nice weekend
Just an FYI, Square-D QO and Homeline breakers are listed for 2 wires under the terminal screws on the 30A and smaller breakers with pressure plates.
I've heard this a bunch of times now and in continuing education courses recently. Thanks for the insight. Hope you enjoyed the video.
With new Code update, don’t you have to put disconnect means for electrical vehicle for run of 60Amp or over 150volt connection?
Yup.
@@electricianron_New_Jersey ohk!!! I didn’t see any disconnect outside on video so asked ?
@@BoxingTruth1 but also if it’s more than 150volts or more than 60amp (one or other) still it has to have disconnect outside as per code !!
Article 625.43 states that a disconnect will be required for equipment rated more than 60A or more than 150V to ground. You missed the last two words “to Ground”
Damn Ron so cold, just saying yup. Love it dude. He knows his rules.
In the UK they have a nice selection of outdoor rated black round cables that don't need to be in conduit. The cables either have a reinforced jacket or ring of steel cables inside the jacket (steel wire armor cable) to protect against damage. Some cables also include data cables inside to either provide ethernet connectivity or for use to monitor service current draw so that EV charging can be automatically throttled down if the load on the house goes high. Too bad that hasn't seemed to have caught on here yet, as the aesthetics seem to turn out better and installation goes faster.
We have something similar here called Teck. It's basically stainless steel armoured cable with a heavy duty pvc jacket but the conductors are independent and usually the same size, not like your layered cables that require special gland fittings.
I just had an EVSE installed in my house and before I even started the process of buying an electric car I made sure I had room in my panel for the 50amp circuit. The EV learning curve is steep but important to follow. Great video as always Ron!
Thank you Dave!
Good to have you back Ron. Merry Christmas to you and your family and the furry kids! Thanks for another year of fantastic videos. We all appreciate your hard work 🏆
Hi Chuck! Thank you. Merry Christmas to you and yours!
If you press the volume up or down on the iPhone in camera mode it will snap the photo for you so you dont need to use the timer.
How did I not know this?
Another great job. Are you just a one man company?
Yes, and proud of it.
@@electricianron_New_Jersey That's fantastic. I'm just about ready to break out on my own hopefully in the next few weeks. You're inspiring me! Any advice would be much appreciated.
@@GlenMacNeil be dedicated and you’ll do just fine. Good luck!
@@electricianron_New_Jersey Thanks Ron! Keep up the good work.
@@GlenMacNeil my pleasure!
i find it interesting how they bond the neutral in the panel never seen that before!
Code requirement.The first panel feed from the meter must have a bonding jumper. Every panel after this panel is considered a sub panel that must have an insulated neutral wire and a ground wire that only feeds a ground bar. In our area the inspector makes you remove the green bonding screw from every sub panel so Johnnie homeowner doesn't install it .
What do your customers think of you recording thier install, and what do they think of you posting it on UA-cam. I'm sure they are okay with it and like to see the work they paid for. But do you have anyone disagree and doesn't want thier job posted or recorded. *Cheers*
I dont ask.
@@electricianron_New_Jersey 😂
@@electricianron_New_Jersey Instead of asking do you just disclose "I'm going to be recording my work for my youtube channel?"
Excellent work as always. Pity they're adding another subpanel. Would be nice to consolidate everything in one larger panel with many more spaces, and you'd clean it up nicely too. Agree the the whip on the Juicebox is not ideal, but it works. Thanks for a year of great videos, Happy Holidays!
There’s a chance the inspector will point out a deficiency and then a real upgrade could happen.
@@electricianron_New_Jersey Really? A deficiency of the work you just did?
@@aaron74 No, the existing issues like the double tap circuit breakers and multi grounds/ neutrals under the same terminals.
@@electricianron_New_Jersey Ohhh of course. Yeah sometimes people need to hear two opinions. In this case, one from you and another from an inspector.
Nice Job brother
Thanks Mac!
Nice to see the m12 getting some use. A great bit of kit. I have many & I rarely use any of my m18. You always do good work.
Mr Monkey Nuts, that’s a great compliment. Thank you Mr Monkey Nuts!
