The Challenge

The EV charger wiring initially used undersized #8 AWG conductors for 60 amps, which violated NEC standards. Additional lighting needed installation at 20 ft ceiling height, along with panel upgrades and surge protection.

What We Found

  • EV charger wiring used #8 AWG conductors, undersized for 60 amps
  • 100 amp home line subpanel passed inspection after installation
  • New lighting included LED can lights and flood lights on garage doors

What We Did

  • Installed additional LED can lights and mounted flood lights
  • Upgraded to 100 amp subpanel with proper breakers
  • Rewired EV charger with #6 AWG conductors per NEC Table 310.16
