Andersen EV make a triumphant return! Electric Vehicle Charger Installation
Ғылым және технология
An old friend has made a triumphant return! At the back end of last year I announced that premium charger manufacturer Andersen EV had gone bust, however, they are now back and better than ever with the backing support of EVIOS. It's time to upgrade the cheese wall... Again!

Jordan, Why don't you fit a nice piece of stained varnished wood to save any more damage to your wall?
So you cut a hole in the bottom first. Then you had a nice long extension bar on the drill for the cutter and drilled at an angle. Why not put extension bar through the bottom hole then put cutter on the bar.

I thank you, that's what I was yelling!
As your wall was a test point, why didn't you just fit a nicely stained/treated bit of plywood on stand-offs on your wall with just 4 holes in the wall. Then all the main damaging holes would all have been in a bit of plywood.

Why don't they make one with an inertia reel and inertia lock for the cable? Have like a gyro thing with slip rings for the rotating connection?
Welcome back 🙂 Would be nice if they upgrade to lever based Wago clamps for all the connections 😉 Is the Ethernet back? If not, that would be also pretty neat 🙂

@@paulevans5018 exactly, I have 70+ years of electrical experience passed down to me. These connectors fail quite frequently. I would like to see real lugs so the cable isn't derated as well. Those connectors are not even 65 degree c probably. So the conductor would be rated at the lowest value possible.
Does the Anderson provide a long enough cable to hardwire into the VW van ? To extend the range for the long journeys down to local shops 👍
the Allen key set is so colorful , haha

No wall plugs or screws at home? Unbelievable Jeff!
You ought to put some junction box on that wall and perhaps some sort of plate to mount to save that poor wall. Love the London Brick seems a shame to perforate it.
Whats the structural integrity of raw plugs? That wall looked about 80% raw plug
Bet the van is on 50% after moving it for the charger install 😂 Nice charger!

Doing rear entry? Fnaar!

Looks like a sophisticated charger, but look like a lot of work with all the sides panels etc. to install compared with others.

Probably is sophisticated however just having somewhere for your cable to go is worth the extra 20 minutes of labour charged by the sparky imo.
Why didn’t you fill all the holes in before fitting the charger 🤔
Nice looking. But with all the charger and cable thefts, I’d be putting up a stainless lockable enclosure with a simple charger inside.
Looks lovely on the side of the porch where no one can see it.
Wish u were at Fully Charged Live in Sydney 😢

Should have gone for Mr Anderson, or Neo. Always gotta go for the pun 😂
We have one of these and it’s always lit up inside? Is it supposed to do that? You can see it glowing from within at night
Why is your wall Swiss cheese? French cleats work pretty well.
Does your charger dress to the left or the right sir?
How much does the charger cost and how much did you pay for it, assuming that you bought it, that is
If you don't have spare bricks, I would source some to put back for when you move out lol.
Welcome back!!! YAY!!! Ahh I noticed you had changed the Charger box differently. What you have tested and compared different models of Chargers. Compare which is best. That would be interesting. I installed a Tesla (silver) that comes with 240v. It was successful and so easy. Thumbs up! Cheers!

Saw your comment and went back to look at the video. It's not a UniFi doorbell but a Ring one the bigger Ring spotlight also backs this up. As for the UniFi Doorbell, I found it fairly easy to wire where I live. The EU one provides a transformer block which you put in your consumer unit. But since I didn't want to mess around with that mine is powered off POE with an inline wireless chime module for Honeywell Chimes. Have a search on KZread for G4 Doorbell POE powered with Chime, a UK based KZreadr did do a tutorial on how to do it.

So glad they are back - stunning bits of kit. Do you know what the big differences are with the A2 and A3 - Andersen seem to sell both in parallel, the A3 is smaller and the latest one, but cheaper. The A2 is more expensive, the older design. Both look great and I actually prefer the look of the A2, but can’t work out why there is a price difference and more importantly why the older unit is more than the newer smaller unit. Any help on the differences would be amazing
I have a question as an industrial electrician in the US. Here in the states we use 240v single phase for residential power, because the phase is split anything that uses 240v uses two hot legs L1&L2. For the circuits that are 120v it’s L1 and the neutral which center tapped in the middle of the 240v transformer winding. In the video the charger says it’s 240v, when hooking it up he says I have my line neutral and cpc which I’m assuming is ground. So are your utility supplies 3 phase and they just run a L1 and a neutral to get the 240v? If so what is the phase to phase voltage?
@marks5226
Жыл бұрын
Yes most homes get l1 + neutral giving 240 v . Some big properties get 3 phase and neutral giving 400 v between phases.
To prevent all the holes in your wall you can use a wooden plate of plywood if i say it correctly. Only four holes to mount it on your wall a bit of paint and you can mount the next charger on the plywood.... and Bob's your uncle although I haven't got a clue who Bob is. But the English people always say that so... ( we say klaar is Kees) question from which coountry am I?
Try smappee ev wall / ev base
If you want an actual luxurious drill to go with the luxurious charging point you need to get a Festool!
Did i hear him Say if your doing rear entry?
Put some wood on the brick and attach the charger to the wood?
Looks good but sure needs Wago connectors
The Porsche of chargers uses Dacia connector blocks. As with the silly 20mm hole you had to bodge to 25mm, it's a shame they didn't use the downtime to redesign some features that let the charger down. Presumably this is old pre-bankrupcy stock they are trying to clear.
