Prepare Garage Wall and Install Conduit
At 0:37 in
Installing an EV Charger is NOT that Easy.. Come see my Day #electrician #bluecollar #tesla
What happens here
In the garage, locate the precise mounting spot for the Tesla Wall Connector. Using a cordless drill and an appropriate drill bit, create a hole in the wall for the electrical wire to enter from the basement cavity. Next, install a metal junction box securely to the wall where the conduit will originate. Using a conduit bender, bend sections of 3/4 inch EMT (Electrical Metallic Tubing) conduit to run neatly along the garage wall from the junction box to the intended mounting location of the EV charger. Secure the conduit to the wall using conduit straps or clamps, ensuring it is level and aesthetically pleasing. Pull the 6-gauge electrical wire that was previously fished through the basement into the junction box and through the newly installed EMT conduit.
Goal: Install conduit and junction box for EV charger wiring
