Watch on YouTube

What happens here

After identifying the route, run the new 6-gauge Romex electrical wire from the electrical panel through the basement, navigating around HVAC ducts and other obstacles. The video shows the wire being carefully routed behind ducts and through wall cavities. This requires careful planning and execution to ensure the wire is properly secured and protected. Once the wire is routed to the panel location, install a new 50-amp circuit breaker in the electrical panel. Connect the two hot conductors of the 6-gauge wire to the breaker terminals and the ground wire to the ground bar in the panel.

Goal: Establish power supply for the EV charger from the main panel
