Thank you. The plan is indeed to install a 6-50 outlet for a UMC for now, but with a thought of possibly upgrading to one or more, likely two, Wall Chargers in the future. This is why I want the full 60 amps for if/when one or two Wall Chargers are going to be drawing (the I believe) 48 amps max.
The ceiling in the basement is fully finished, and we will be fishing the wire along and through joists. Luckily there are some recessed lights that can be popped out to make the process less painful. I expect only one area (turn) where we will have to open up the ceiling sheetrock to run the wire. I'll leave this to the experienced electrician. He also did mention that in the garage the wire is going into a conduit. I guess I just didn't definitively clear with him that we're running THHN wire and not Romex, but I will clarify that. Plus I want to either order the wire myself or at least make sure he doesn't overspend on it (from the quick price check I did: WireAndCableYourWay is only about $20 cheaper than Home Depot, but Lowes is another $100 on top of that).
Any recommendations on a good quality 6-50 outlet and where to buy?
Thanks
The hubbell part number is HBL9367, somewhere around $30 any number of places. Note that you are also supposed to have a GFCI in the circuit, meaning a nice new $100-$150 circuit breaker! Are you sure you don't want to just hop to the HPWC right away? Be aware that if you really DO plan to have two HPWCs someday soon, you'd be better off putting a decent subpanel into the garage right now, since the new HPWCs each require a breaker. If you go down the new subpanel path, you also need to have a neutral line going to that subpanel!
