What happens here

The electrician begins by cutting into the drywall near the main electrical panel using a multi-tool to create an opening for accessing wiring and installing the conduit. After making the cut, 3/4 inch EMT (Electrical Metallic Tubing) conduit is installed along the wall, leading from the electrical panel location to where the EV charger will be mounted.

Goal: Create access to the electrical panel and run conduit for the charger.

Tools and materials

  • 3/4 inch EMT conduit — Protecting and routing electrical wires from the panel to the charger
  • Conduit bender — Bending EMT conduit for neat turns and precise routing
  • Conduit straps — Securing the conduit firmly to the wall
  • Cordless drill — Drilling pilot holes and attaching conduit straps to the wall
  • Multi-tool — Cutting drywall for panel access

Tesla and it's the end of the summer now. Starting to get cold outside of New Jersey. I had to bring out the Milwaukee propane heater to keep us warm. My bro Ken started getting to business by cutting the [music] sheetrock with the multi-tool. Here's where the EV charger is going. There's no other way to do it, guys. You have to cut the wall. We then start installing our 3/4in EMT [music] conduit for the charger. We installed a 40 amp circuit breaker and ran 8 gauge [music] thhn wires, two hot wires, and one ground wire. Cuz this is a 32 amp
