What happens here

With the necessary space created by the tandem breakers, install the new 40 AMP circuit breaker for the EV charger. First, connect the appropriate gauge wire (typically 8 AWG or 6 AWG for a 40A, 240V circuit) from the EV charger to the terminals on the new breaker, ensuring a secure and tight connection. Then, snap the 40 AMP breaker into the empty slots on the bus bar. The video shows the electrician installing the 40 AMP breaker into the newly available space. The text overlay confirms "40 AMP Circuit Breaker installed for EV Charger."

Goal: Securely install the 40 AMP circuit breaker and connect its wiring.
