What happens here

After successfully drilling the access hole, the electrician feeds approximately 15 feet of 8-2 Romex wire. This wire is carefully pulled from the basement, through the newly created opening in the exterior wall, and positioned at the outside location where the Tesla Wall Connector will be mounted. The 8-2 Romex wire is chosen for its ability to safely handle the required current for a 30-amp circuit.

Goal: Route the electrical wire from the main panel to the charger's location.

Tools and materials

  • 8-2 Romex Wire Unspecified — Supplying power from the electrical panel to the EV charger
  • Wire Puller Unspecified — Assisting in pulling the wire through tight spaces or long runs

popular. I'm telling you, I feel like everybody's getting one and not going to argue cuz these EVs are giving me so much business as an electrician. Boom. Bang. There you guys go. We got our hole made for the wire. We used a whole hog. The customer has a 100 amp main panel in their basement. So, we ran A2 ROMX wire in the basement and installed a 30 amp breaker for this Tesla charger since the customer had a 100 amp panel. Tesla wall connectors can be installed anywhere between a 15 amp breaker to a 60 amp breaker. But after we did a panel load
