The insulation has writing on it, might be able to see it there. Otherwise, whatever fuse was on the system originally is usually the highest recommended if that is where you are going...no one puts a 6/3 line in and a 15a fuse.
What's the diameter of the wire with insulation?
Or take another photo with a tape measure.
Without scale, it's hard to tell. Looks about right for 6 AWG though...
So mine with insulation is about 7-8 mm, the copper conductor is just a bit over 4 mm.It is about 4 - 5 mm diameter.
For a 240V car charger, you only use L1, L2 and ground. Neutral is not used, and thus not supposed to be connected. Ideally, one would use 6/2 wire, but it's harder to get.It is just me, or are the neutrals not connected together? It looks like they each have shrinktube over the end, with no termination...
Yes, I know the EVSE does not use the neutral. But if I were wiring this, I still would have connected them together in the disconnect box (and just left it unterminated at the ends). The OP didn't really specify where in the circuit this box existed (or that it was even used for an EVSE, I guess!).For a 240V car charger, you only use L1, L2 and ground.

So that was my thought too, but talking with electricians, they say the opposite. They want no surprises, and only conductors in use should be connected.
Certainly the ESA inspector that inspected my wiring was okay with it being disconnected (and safely terminated, I used wire caps).
Looks good to me.
Looks good to me too.
In fact, ESA requires the unused wires to be disconnected and capped on each end. So you did it right.
