What happens here

Begin by identifying the customer's electrical setup. The video shows a main electrical panel and a subpanel. It is crucial to determine the appropriate panel for the new circuit. For a Tesla charger, the supply must originate from the main panel to ensure proper capacity and electrical distribution. Confirm the presence of sufficient space in the main panel for a new 40-amp double-pole breaker and evaluate the overall capacity of the electrical service to support the additional load of an EV charger.

Goal: Determine the optimal electrical panel for the charger connection and verify service capacity.

ran the wire that way. All right, guys. We just installed a Tesla wall connector for a customer. He's got his main panel right here and he's got his sub panel. So, anytime you install a Tesla charger, we must come from the main panel. So, as you can see here, we installed our 40 amp breaker double pull. Actually going to label right here. EV. Always want to label the panel. Customer had a finished basement. So, drop ceiling tiles. We ran the wire that way.
