Update! Amazon now sells a super affordable high speed EV charger: https://amzn.to/3XI11xM which will work with the install covered in this video. Expand this description for full parts list.

In this episode, we unlock the mysteries of your electrical panel in order to add a new 240 Volt (50 amp) circuit to a house in order to power a Level 2 electric car charger.

Although I install a car charger in this case, the same basic knowledge will allow you to add other types of circuits too - 120 volt circuits for outlets and lighting, plus 240s for dryers, ranges, welders, RV hookups, solar power inverters - whatever you like!
