Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 48,703 views a day, 6.3 times a normal first day on this channel (7,690).

Things we can learn from the video

Press to jump

  1. 0:00The presenter introduces the replacement of HQ's zappi chargers, citing dissatisfaction with the existing setup.
  2. 4:21The circuits are isolated and locked out before the old chargers are removed.
  3. 10:28He explains why electrical terminals need a calibrated torque screwdriver, not tightening by feel.
  4. 12:47The assistant performs electrical safety testing, including RCD tests, on the completed installation.
  5. 13:42A Tesla charging demonstration shows the concealed cable arrangement and Andersen app setup.

"I'll be honest guys, I'm a complete hypocrite," the Artisan Electrics presenter says. After fitting hundreds of EV chargers for customers, he is taking out the ones at his own headquarters.

His explanation is that they have caused problems and he never liked their appearance. The replacements are an Andersen A2 and Quartz, supplied by Andersen for this sponsored installation. Both go onto pedestals outside HQ, with the concealed charging cable getting a demonstration when he plugs in his Tesla.

The video reached about 27,000 views in nine hours, well ahead of the channel's usual start for regular uploads. But the title, "Why We RIPPED OUT Our Own EV Chargers!", has left some viewers wanting a more specific answer: what faults did the outgoing zappi units actually develop? One commenter contrasts the replacement with years of trouble-free use of their own zappi; others ask how the new chargers integrate with HQ's existing energy system.

Between the unboxing and the finished installation, there is practical trade detail. The circuits are isolated and locked out before removal, and the presenter makes a pointed case for tightening terminals with a calibrated torque screwdriver rather than trusting an electrician's elbow.

The finish gets its reveal, but the work does not end with the casing clicking into place. His assistant carries out electrical safety tests before the Tesla charging demonstration and app setup.

  • Curious to know what problems you had with the Zappi's? Had a Zappi 2.0 for years without issues.
  • But how does it integrate and play nice with your Sigenergy system.

    Any reason not to use the Sig ACEV chargers ?
