Hoping to get some clarification on my specific use case. I'm a new M3RWD owner (5 weeks now) and I quickly installed a 14-50 outlet after I picked up the car. I thought I was doing good:
- Installed a 50A Circuit Breaker from the Panel feeding power to the house
- Used 6/3 Romex (from Home Depot) through Conduit to the soffit and then right down the wall to the 14-50 outlet
As I continue to read the threads, I believe I should not have used Romex since some of the wire it in PVC conduit, thinking I should replace with THWN, but not sure that's appropriate for use behind drywall? If this makes any difference, I have a wall charger on order to replace the outlet (should have just done the wall charger in the first place).
The wire run is 12 feet - up the wall from outside via PVC, through the soffit into the attic space, drilled the top plate and then back down the wall behind the drywall to the outlet.
PVC run for the EV charger is the far right side one. The left PVC run is for my pool panel.
Current 14-50 outlet.
