Day in the Life of a Resi Electrician⚡️ Installing a Home EV Charger, would you get an EV?

What happens here

Back in the basement, the electrician installs a 30-amp double-pole Siemens breaker into the main electrical panel. The remaining end of the 8-2 Romex wire is then connected to this new breaker. Once all wiring is secure and double-checked, the main electrical panel cover is replaced. The circuit is then re-energized, making the Tesla Wall Connector fully operational. The job is then deemed complete, leaving a satisfied customer with a functional EV charger.

Goal: Connect the charger to the main electrical panel and finalize the installation.

Tools and materials

  • 8-2 Romex Wire Unspecified — The electrical cable being connected to the new breaker
  • Electrical Panel — The existing main electrical panel where the new breaker is installed
  • Screwdriver Unspecified — Securing wire terminals and panel cover screws

What they say

I put my heart out on because it was getting extremely sunny out and I didn't have a hat. So, I can't go wrong with more safety protection and PPE. And boom, we just finished. So, here's a recap. We installed a 30 amp double pole Seammen's breaker. Ran 15 ft of A2 ROMX wire directly hardwired to the Tesla charger. Job complete. Customer is satisfied. I put my tools away in celebration. That is what a day in the life of an electrician looks like.
