My 80ft Journey

I thought I would share pictures of my outlet installation. It is 80ft from my panel to my outlet. The panel, of course is in the basement at the end of the house opposite the garage.

NEMA 14-50 outlet. UMC transformer resting on top of cabinet so it doesn't hang. Cord & plug in bucket. My charge port on the car is right there (car not present of course)


Up to ceiling and over beam. I decided to go over the beam instead of trying to go-around it with conduit. 6AWG cable is difficult to take around bends.


Across ceiling to wall. The hole was already there from a drain pipe. Time to seal it off.


Down the wall heading to basement ceiling. I decided to cut the wall to drill through to the basement ceiling. Not finished spackling yet.


Across basement ceiling to far corner. Drop ceiling is a huge plus.


In to junction box on ceiling and down through conduit into service panel. Junction box and conduit were already there for a sub panel in my shed for the pool


Getting a nice charge rate of 240V @ 40A (29MPH).

It's exactly what you called it. I don't recall where I got it though. It was about ten years ago. The cups slide in and out and hold fasteners, washers, etc. the whole thing rotates to expose the cups. It's pretty cool. If I can figure out where I got it, I'll post it.

Thanks FlasherZ. Part of the reason I posted this was in case someone saw something a little off. I will support that #6 better now that you pointed it out. I didn't realize exposed wire above 7ft was okay but that's water under the bridge at this point. I feel better that it's in conduit anyway.

And yes, Btrflyl8e, most basements have treadmills and air hockey. Ping Pong too, but my ceiling is too low. I own a house in Florida too so I understand the lack of basement situation due to the high water table there. Here in NJ, most homes have basements. I just wish my breaker panel was in the garage. That would have saved me a lot of time and effort, not to mention cost. 80FT of 6/3 NM-B was not cheap.
