What happens here

This project provides a detailed guide on how to install an Electric Vehicle (EV) charger in a garage, focusing on the electrical connections and an innovative method for safely routing the charging cable to the exterior using a cable hatch door. This setup allows for outdoor EV charging without the cable being pinched or damaged by a garage door.

All right, guys. Service call. Customer just got a Mustang Mach-E, and we just installed an EV charger at ChargePoint. We installed a 40-amp breaker. I ran 8/2 Romex behind the wall, straight hardwired into the ChargePoint. And you might be wondering, "Where is the charging cord?" Well, here is a tip, guys. Goes right outside, and boom. See that? Probably never seen that before. EV charger install level 10,000 right here, okay? Instead of having the cord going under the garage door to charge your EV, we install a cable hatch door that the cord goes out, opens up like this, so the customer can just charge his car outside without the cord going under the door, and over time ruin the cord. But this makes the cord safe.
