Ensuring that a home electric vehicle charger is properly installed makes for safety, and the onus is on the home owner to check and find out that the work is done correctly. With this in mind, making sure that the charger is installed after the incoming mains meter is somewhat of a given, but it seems that nonsense can still happen.

Such is the case with a Tesla owner, who was paid a visit by a Tenaga Nasional field crew over an incorrectly installed junction box. In a video clip that has since gone viral, the TNB personnel can be seen telling the home owner that the incoming supply for his charger was tapped before the electricity meter, meaning that electricity usage from the EV charger was not being recorded, essentially leading to losses for the electricity provider.

The man can be heard telling the TNB staff he was not aware of the ‘improper’ install, stating that it was the work of the technicians who installed the unit, thereby implying that the error was made from their end. Giving him the benefit of the doubt, the TNB crewman said it could be the case, but then informed the man that it was nonetheless an offence and that the problem needed to be rectified immediately.

In the end, it’s not just inconvenience – and embarrassment – you have to worry about. Illegal wiring extensions resulting in electricity theft is punishable under Section 37 of the Electricity Supply Act 1990 by a fine of between RM1,000 to RM50,000 or a maximum one-year jail term or both for a first-time offender who is a domestic consumer.Anthony Lim believes that nothing is better than a good smoke and a car with character, with good handling aspects being top of the prize heap.

This is the common character amongst most of the T20 category. Steal where possible… get caught put the blame on others… remember bosuku?
