In this video I install an outlet for charging an electric vehicle such as Tesla model 3. Take EXTRA care when working with live electrical circuits. It is HIGHLY recommended to turn OFF the main breakers to the panel. Keep in mind that even with main breakers turned off, the main feeds to the panel are live. Always assume the circuit is on and take proper care. Use electrical rated tools such as screw drivers, gloves, etc. Some of the components I used for this project, all purchased from Home Depot: Home Depot SKU#, Description, Qty 580529, 10-2 NM W/G 15 FT 1 198153, BREAKER GE 30A 2-POLE 1" FRAME 1 1002623097, 30A Outlet 1 419044, 2 gang junction box 1 614578, Outlet cover 1 Please keep in mind that the breaker is specific to the panel. In my case, the panel was GE brand. Disclaimer: I am not a licensed electrician. Information provided on this video is based on my own experience and research.
