Southwire 6/3 Gauge Wire for EV Charger (Stranded)

Expert ScoreRead review

The Southwire 6/3 gauge wire for EV charger is a reliable and practical choice for NEMA 14-50 installations, offering solid copper conductors and durable insulation. It’s easy to handle, making it perfect for DIY installations or professional use.

The Southwire 6/3 Gauge Wire for EV Charger is an excellent choice for installing Level 2 plug-in EV chargers, particularly for NEMA 14-50 outlets for installation of 50 Amps EV charger. This 6/3 wire for EV charger includes three 6 AWG stranded copper conductors—two hot wires and one neutral—and a 10 AWG solid copper ground wire. This setup provides the necessary wiring for a 240V circuit, ensuring reliable power delivery to your EV charger.

If you are looking for a 6/3 wire for a Tesla charger that uses a NEMA 14-50 outlet such as the Emporia Level 2 Charger with NACS, this is the right 6/3 gauge wire, we used it to test our EV charger installation and works well for installations where a neutral conductor is required. It is perfect for NEMA 14-50 installations, which require both hot and neutral wires, along with ground. For hardwired installations such as Tesla Wall Connector chargers, the 6/2 NM-B W/G Wire is recommended, as it does not need a neutral wire.

One standout feature of this 6/3 Romex wire is its flexibility and ease of use when installing NEMA 14-50 EV chargers indoors. The SIMpull jacket makes installation simple and efficient, reducing the need for extra tools. The wire is sturdy and well-insulated, offering protection against wear and tear. It is suitable for indoor use, making it ideal for residential settings where you need to run wiring for EV chargers inside garages or basements.

Southwire is known for producing quality electrical products, and the 6/3 wire for the EV charger maintains that standard. It provides safe and efficient power transmission, ensuring your EV charger works without issues.
