How to make $1500 in 4 Hours, Install an EV Charger #hendythesparky #electrician
What happens here
From the interior side, use the cordless drill with a paddle bit to drill another hole through the wall, this time to the exterior where the Tesla Wall Connector will be mounted. Ensure this hole aligns with the conduit path and the intended charger location. On the exterior, securely mount the Tesla charger backplate to the house siding using appropriate mounting screws. Once the backplate is in place, feed the electrical conductors—specifically two #6 gauge wires (typically black and red for the two hot legs) and one #10 gauge ground wire (green or bare copper)—through the wall and into the charger backplate. Leave sufficient length to make connections.
Goal: Secure the charger mounting hardware and run the power wires from the interior conduit to the exterior charger
