Completely Serious
Yes! with the gasoline stored in most garages. Fire hazard! But as to a "licensed master electrician", well, that's debatable. Many of us with a little experience know about as much as a "master" electrician when it comes to installing a simple outlet. I installed my own (it's only tightening three screws on three wires, after all) and I doubt I'll ever see any fire due to my job.
The problem is that so many people are completely ignorant about electricity. With a very little bit of education, one finds out that it's not that big of a deal. I've heard stories of electricians who put wires in their mouths while connecting things together, so they'd know when the wires were "hot", but most electricians are no smarter or dumber than the rest of us. A "licensed master electrician" would, in my mind, be huge overkill.
Yes, I've wired several new homes. It's NOT rocket science.
The problem is that no one knows how to tighten those three wires properly. How to size the junction box correctly. Which breaker to use, if the panel can support the evse, ect. Saying “it’s only three wires” exudes ignorance.
No master electrician is sticking his tongue or fingers on any wires to test if they are live. That might be something a jackleg or an imbecile might do, not a professional.
