Charger Mounting and Hardwiring

This electrical job was tricky, how much do you price it? #electrician #tesla
What happens here
The final step involves mounting the Tesla Wall Connector and making all necessary electrical connections. The installer highlights that the customer specifically requested the charger to be positioned between the garage doors, allowing them to charge their vehicle in either bay. This required fitting the charger into a tight space, and it's implied that a strut might have been used to provide adequate support and secure mounting in this specific location. The 6/2 Romex wire, previously routed, is hardwired directly into the Tesla Wall Connector. Back at the electrical panel, a new 50-amp circuit breaker is installed to protect the circuit. All connections are made, ensuring a safe and functional EV charging station.
Goal: Securely install and hardwire the Tesla Wall Connector.
