    2-2-2-4 ALUMINUM SER CABLE for wall connector

    No, not trying to do it myself but electrician is quoting a lot for upgrading the wire so I offered to buy the wire myself and then he will do the rest. For now, ll go with 6/2 Stranded Metal Clad MC Copper Conductor 600V Aluminum Armored Cabl (nassaunationalcable.com)

    2-2-2-4 ALUMINUM SER CABLE for wall connector

    2-2-2-4 ALUMINUM SER CABLE for wall connector

    I am lost and can't find a cheaper <$3-4 / ft for 4/2 or 4/3 copper. I can see 6/2 <$2.8 per ft but as soon as I go to 4/2, prices are twice or more higher. So rather than getting it for $300 with taxes for 100 ft, I am getting 600+. I looked at Amazon / Ebay/ Homedepot. Also, there are so many...

    2-2-2-4 ALUMINUM SER CABLE for wall connector

    2-2-2-4 ALUMINUM SER CABLE for wall connector

    From what I read, a 6/3 copper is worse than 4/2 aluminum for 60amp just because it fails the 80% guideline and I am concerned about fire risk. A lot of people go with that and apparently its code compliant since there are no 55amp breakers but I don't want to take that chance. For me 6/3 copper...

    2-2-2-4 ALUMINUM SER CABLE for wall connector

    I agree that aluminum or other conductors are not listed in the manual but Tesla is in no obligation to test every conductor out there, code also doesn't mention a copper requirement for EV chargers. Copper is more efficient at transmission than aluminum, thus, higher gauge. I am buying the...

    2-2-2-4 ALUMINUM SER CABLE for wall connector

    Hello, I am planning to install the wall connector and electrician wanted to use 6/3 ser aluminum wire which is only rated for 55amp (connector requires 60amp for max output of 48amp). I want to go with 2-2-2-4 ALUMINUM SER CABLE which is much cheaper than copper. Thoughts?
