EV Charger Basics

In this episode of the Build Show, CJ breaks down the basics of EV chargers, explaining the most universal setup for homeowners who want to future-proof their property. He walks through the common NEMA 14-50 configuration, why a 50-amp receptacle is often the smartest starting point, and the importance of choosing EV-rated components to avoid overheating or failure. CJ also covers when you might need higher-amp, hard-wired chargers and why an RV-style box can be a simple, versatile solution. A quick, practical guide for anyone planning an electric vehicle charging setup.
