What happens here

After successfully routing the wire, install a new 50-amp circuit breaker into an available slot in the main electrical panel. Carefully strip the ends of the 6-gauge Romex wire, connecting the two hot wires to the new circuit breaker and the ground wire to the panel's ground bus bar. Ensure all connections are tight and secure. Replace the panel cover.

Goal: Connect the new 50-amp circuit to the main electrical panel.

In order to get the EV charger at chest height, we installed 3/4in EMT conduit. This is a
