In this article, we will address the question: "How to hardwire EV charger?" and provide a comprehensive guide to help you successfully hardwire your charging solution.



Understanding the Process: How to Hardwire EV Charger

Hardwiring an EV charger involves a direct electrical connection to the power supply, eliminating the need for a plug and socket. Here are the steps to successfully hardwire your EV charger:

Disconnect power: Before starting the electrical work, ensure that the power to the circuit is disconnected. It is crucial to ensure that there is no electricity running through the circuit.

Verify circuit breaker rating: Check that the rating of the circuit breaker is suitable for the EV charger unit. If the charger has a maximum rated current output of 48A, make sure it is being installed on a 60A circuit. The charger is typically preconfigured for this setting, so if you have a 60A circuit, proceed to the next step.

Connect the charger to power:Now, it's time to connect the EV charger to power. Use the supplied conduit and connectors to run field wiring in an NEC-approved conduit system from the circuit to a junction box located within 3 feet of the mounted EV charger. In this junction box, the pre-wired EV charger will be connected to the field wiring from the circuit.
