Summary

Homeowners are adding electric vehicles to their garages, and that means new electrical needs. This project focused on installing a Tesla EV charger and increasing electrical protection for the whole property.

The Work

Installed ¾ inch PVC conduit from the main panel to the interior garage wall
Pulled #6 copper wire from the panel to the new charger location
Mounted and wired a Tesla EV charger on the garage wall
Added a 2-pole 60-amp breaker and secured all piping
Installed a whole-house surge protector to help guard all appliances against power surges

The Outcome

The garage now has a dedicated EV charging point that is ready for daily use. With the surge protector in place, the home's electrical system is better shielded from unexpected voltage spikes. Residents can charge their vehicle with confidence and added peace of mind. If you’re thinking about an EV upgrade, we’re ready to help with the wiring and protection you need.
