Not really much to brag about, but I had posted on here before asking about installing 220 in my garage to be able to charge my Volt at Level 2.
I had an electrician come out today, super cool guy. I explained to him what I was looking to do, he looked over the wiring and the panel, and basically just told me to tee a 6-20 plug off the disconnect switch that's already installed. He said at 16A there's no reason to upgrade the wiring going to the garage at this point, and that that's exactly how he would do it.
I thanked him for his time, bought him lunch with a tip, and ran to Home Depot. A couple hours later, and we're all set!
Forgive the poor cuts in the sheetrock. It's in the garage, and I eyeballed it. The new charger is on the way from Amazon as we speak, so I should be fast charging by the weekend!
