Synopsis:
We love when we get to meet our viewers! Maruful watches EPro for edutainment and when he realized we were in the Indianapolis area, he knew exactly who to call about charging his new Tesla Model Y! The Indy utility requires a dedicated meter in order to receive a low-cost EV charging rate, and because they don’t allow DIY installs, it’s become a plug-and-play task for Jefferson Electric.

Follow along while we try our hand at siding repair, laser engraving, and satellite dish removal! Maruful will also share his thought process behind EV charging ROI, doing his own electrical work, and moving internationally.

Laced within the technical instruction are recommendations and points of professionalism employed daily by Jefferson Electric masters, journeymen, & apprentices.
