AvLegends said:That's how I installed mine... #8 THHN with a 50A breaker. Not going to charge anything bigger than the Rav4 EV at 40 amps. Just be sure to keep your Tesla Model S friends off your CS-60 or you will be poppin breakers.
One thing I noticed though... is that the box you are going to wire the CS-60 to? Your pigtails hanging out look pretty short. You need to have enough wire so you can work. I have my CS-60 hardwired directly to the box. Good luck.
The CC CS-60 is such a nice unit that i'm going to get another for the garage here at home.
My only gripe with the CS-60 is the ultra-thick charger cable haha...
I inspected the wire he used, it has a "7557301" marking, so I googled it and came upon this site:

So it seems like it is a #8 THHN cable. That end you are seeing is the where it terminates to the panel/break box (on the other side of the wall)... if you look closer, the other end (9-feet run) is a NEMA 6-50 receptacle where I will be mounting the CS-60.
looks like this:
Guess all I need now is to purchase a Nema 6-50 plug (does homedepot/lowes sell those?) and hook it up with the charger... and of course change out the breaker from 40A to 50A. What do you think?
