6/2 vs 6/3 Wire for EV Charger Installations: Which One to Choose?
6/2 wire has two conductors and a ground, suitable for hardwired EV charger installations. It is commonly used for 240V circuits, providing enough capacity for many residential applications.
6/3 wire, on the other hand, has three conductors and a ground, ideal for NEMA 14-50 outlets. This additional conductor allows for a neutral wire, making it suitable for outlets that require one, such as Level 2 chargers. Both wires offer safe and efficient power delivery, but the choice depends on your installation type and whether a neutral conductor is required.
