What happens here

Run an 8/2 Romex (NM-B) electrical cable from the newly installed 40-amp breaker in the electrical panel to the planned location of the EV charger. This typically involves routing the cable behind drywall or through conduit. Use appropriate cable clamps to secure the cable within the panel and at the charger's entry point. Ensure the cable is protected from damage throughout its run. The video indicates the cable was run 'behind the wall,' suggesting in-wall routing.

Goal: Route the electrical cable from the panel to the charger location

Tools and materials

  • 8/2 Romex — Primary electrical conductor for the EV charger circuit
  • Cable Staples/Clamps — Securing the cable along its path
  • Cordless Drill DeWalt — Drilling holes through studs if routing through walls
  • Fish Tape — Pulling cable through walls or conduit

What they say

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.
