Why EV Chargers are EASY Money for Future Electricians, 2 Home Tesla Chargers for $3000, Thoughts?

What happens here

For the second EV charger installation, bring the electrical line (Romex cable) into a metal box installed on the wall. This metal box serves as a transition point from the Romex cable to EMT conduit. Ensure the metal box is properly grounded, as switching from Romex (non-metallic sheathed cable) to EMT (metallic conduit) requires additional grounding for the metallic enclosure. Torque the wire connections for the two hot wires (L1 and L2) and the bare copper ground wire inside the charger according to manufacturer specifications. Install a 3/4 inch EMT conduit from the metal box to the second Tesla Wall Connector. Securely mount the second Tesla Wall Connector to the wall. Finally, use a Tesla security bit screwdriver to fasten the cover of the charger, preventing unauthorized access or removal of the unit.

Goal: Mount and wire the second EV charger safely and securely.

cable back and I sleeved it into the conduit to keep a continuous hardwire connection. First Tesla charger done. Now, this is the second one. I made sure to ground my metal box since I'm switching from Romex into EMT conduit. I then torque my wire connections, my two hot wires L1 and L2, and my bare copper ground wire. We are almost done. I can smell the finish line. And then I use my Tesla security bit screwdriver, so no random Joe Schmo can steal the unit or get zapped. And boom, we are finished. The two Tesla EV chargers installed, one
