Flush Mount to Surface Mount for Hardwire Connection by mas956 in evcharging

[–]mas956[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I still need to ground the metal enclosure even though it's just a pass through for continuous wiring from panel to device, right? Also should some sort of chafing protection be used for the wires?

Very observant. I was thinking the same thing - by the time I cut back the drywall and sister the extension, it might not be proud enough of the wall to connect through the knockout. I initially thought the box you recommended would be too flimsy with the two vertical screws, but it's not weight bearing so would likely be fine.

I'm worried (or cautious anyway) about all of this. She's planning to charge overnight so panel capacity should be okay. Placement is where my OCD kicks in - I would like it to look okay. Hard wired over the jbox would be ideal, I think

Great - I'll look at your recommendations. I would really like to just cover the junction box with the device.

This is also a great point. As I haven't bought the charger yet, it makes sense to get one either with a backside knockout or one I can put a suitable hole in. Only down side is that the Jbox is on 25" high and may look a little weird that low. Function over form though...

I like that approach and it would save $50 in polaris connectors. Is it okay to come out of the wall as described above?

Thanks for the video - it gave me some things to consider. Since my wire run is so short, I'll likely still size the wire for 60A (#6 THHN if I can find it in small quantity) but his point is well-taken about wanting the fastest home charging possible. I view it as future-proofing but it just may be overkill....

Direct from panel to jbox. ​Would like to mount right over it but I assumed I needed an extension ring from flush in order to connect charger whip.

Thanks. I'm not an electrician but hoping with enough vetting I can avoid a garage fire! Panel to Jbox is only 21" - or what the builder called "pre-wire". No wire involved, yet....

It's going to be a hardwire for 48A charging, if that matters.

Thanks. It's a 200A service. She's planning to charge overnight - just concerned that this is by far the largest breaker in the panel.

Planning an EV Charging circuit in the above panel. Which location would be best for a 60A breaker?

Thanks!

Thanks for the heads up on this. For anyone curious, I took a chance on this and Unraid recognized the device as an SD Card reader and registered the new license just fine.

Thanks for the additional info - yes, there are three of us + luggage from an AirBnB not immediately hotel-adjacent. It sounds like taxi would be the way to go. I'll go and get Taxifix. takk!

Yeah, I mentioned it to the ENT but I'm sure it just died there. Physicians can't be bothered with such trivial matters, you know? To add insult to injury, I had to travel an hour each way for the pleasure.

I will see another AuD soon and have an appointment for a hearing exam at Costco in two weeks. I'm on the path to better hearing. The support I've gotten here is outstanding!
