  FYI.. if you have this set @ the 40amp setting you should have put in a 50amp breaker. If you have it set @32amp your 40amp breaker would be the correct size.

  Looks good but how come you didn’t hardwire it?

  Something I didn't see you touch on… The 40A box is, for your current application, overkill. Your Niro EV can only draw a max of 32A (7.6kw). Now, if you are planning on getting another car down the road that can utilize 40A, then you're future proof for that already.

  FYI by code you need a GFCI breaker unless you hardwire it

  Nice video! I just picked up one yesterday and still need to install it. I would recommend checking out "Technology Connections" video called "Electric Car Chargers Aren't Chargers At All" for a good explanation about why simple isn't a bad thing for these. In a nutshell, it's a switch. Aside from maybe adding a timer, setting the amp draw to less than what the vehicle can do or monitoring the total power draw, it's just a switch. Most of these things the car can do easily enough so duplicating these in the charger is not appealing to me, and the actual charging circuitry is in the vehicle itself so overriding its built in smarts is not something I feel is worth it. The car knows its wants better imo. Again, nice video and keep it up!

  Having a smart charger is a non issue, at least in the ID.4 The car demands the charge when/if/how much it will take. The ID.4 also has location based charge settings, where say at home it can go to 85% but at a fast charger on a trip it can charge to 100%. Charge timers are also part of the software. Most EV’s have these features, so in my opinion the “dumber” the charger the better. Less to break.

  Why not back in to your garage? Then you don't have to run the cable so far.
