Well done youngman! After 40 years in the electrical and power distribution, I still enjoy seeing a skilled tradesman at work. Keep it up...
Damn just had to roast their garage at the end 😂
Clean install with using flex!
there is a 240v 30amp straight blade receptacle that's used for welding plugs that people get confused as dryer plugs. They're readily available at home depot and i have seen them too many times installed in houses lol.
Flex is cool. But wire Mold is a lot cleaner. Either way great work sir.
(2)#6(1)#8&(1)#10 that must have been fun to pull in. I have been using 1” on mine just to make my pull go smooth but I also am alone most the time.
A lot of bending you did there. Ohhh bending that flex takes a pro.
...I plug in my Tesla to my dryer plug, never had an issue.
Its always a mess going and working in peoples houses! Glad to not really be a house mouse anymore
dont know how to bend pipe... only how to lay it. darn
No that's a NEMA 14-30 or 14-50.
Should’ve ran conduit man!
He did use conduit.

Hit on the fact that it is not smart to run a charger of a 30 amp dryer plug 10 guage. As you can only use 80% of that 30 amp so about 25 amps and your charger will run off 48 amps so requires a 60 amp ckt. It's fun watching people burn up their electric.
A clothes dryer is often 5.0 KW or about 20.8 AMPS on that 30 AMP #10 AWG circuit, which is fine. A car charger can be much higher and for a higher duration, which could be a big problem.
