Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money.

Synopsis:
By installing a separate metering system for your home’s EV charging in Indianapolis, the utility (AES) will offer 2.3¢ per kWh off-peak rates. This is one of the main reasons why Jefferson Electric opted to convert part of their fleet to Tesla Model 3’s this year. Follow along as we independently meter one of our project manager’s outdoor home charging station.

Without a structure to mount the meter to, we’ll be grounding a strut base next to Sean’s shed, and then running our direct-burial EV charging cable underground to the shed…
…Hold on, did we just say “direct-burial EV charging cable”?! You bet! Special thanks to TCER Direct (https://www.tcerdirect.com/electric-v...) for their #6, 600V, 75C, TWHN, sunlight-resistant, direct-burial, joist-pull Power & Control Tray Cable. We’d recommend you give it a look if your business is taking on more EV installation jobs.

As usual, we’ll also include some recommendations and points of professionalism employed at Jefferson Electric to maximize our time & profits, and value to our customers.
