What happens here

The electrician routes a 6/2 Romex wire through the garage walls. This involves drilling into existing studs to create pathways for the wire. He mentions having to get into the space above the garage to feed the wire, as part of the garage is a finished room (bedroom). He uses a fish tape or similar tool to guide the heavy gauge wire through the drilled holes, from the electrical panel location to the exterior wall where the charger will be mounted.

Goal: Fish the 6/2 Romex wire from the electrical panel location to the exterior wall for the charger.
