What happens here

The EV charger unit, a Tesla Wall Connector, is securely mounted onto the garage wall. The previously run electrical wires are then snaked through the charger's housing. Approximately one inch of the wire jacket is stripped from each conductor to expose the copper. These bare wires are then carefully connected and torqued into the terminals of the Tesla charger, ensuring secure electrical connections. A level is used during mounting to ensure the charger is installed perfectly straight.

Goal: Securely mount and electrically connect the EV charger.

Tools and materials

  • Headlamp Klein Tools — Providing hands-free illumination during the intricate wiring process
  • Level — Ensuring the charger is mounted straight and aesthetically pleasing
  • Screwdriver — Securing the charger to the wall and tightening wire terminals
  • Tesla Wall Connector Tesla — The electric vehicle charging unit being installed
  • Torque wrench — Ensuring wire terminals are tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque values
  • Wire strippers — Stripping wire insulation to expose copper conductors
