    Ground wires smaller than #4 have to be green or bare, not tape.

    Don’t you need to install a connector on the knockout in the back of the charger where the wires are entering the charger?

    Ground wires are green or no insulation. Never black. I don't see where the metal box is grounded - a code violation.

      That's why he had green tape around his ground wire to identify that it's a ground wire.

      @@fdeguilla there are two approved methods to ground the metal box.
      One is to attach the ground wire to the green screw on the bottom of the box the second is to use a grounding clip.
      The grounding clip requires a Bare wire
      I don't see any of these.
      If I missed it can you provide how many minutes into the video where the approved grounding method is visible.
      Also why put green tape on a black wire.
      Just strip off the insulation so it is bare inside the box.

    The National Electric Code sometimes provides overkill. The local building inspectors can also ignore the nec (90.4). Section 314.4 requires metal boxes to be grounded. Did California cance this requirement? A metal box was mentioned and not conected.

      Number 6AWG is required for a 60 amp breaker unless you are using NM-B cable which is rated from the 60 degree column of the chart. As is required throughout the US by the National Electric Code.

      Ben,. 60 amp charger or 60 amp circuit?
      National Electric Code 625 EVSE (car chargers) demands the circuit carry the charge current plus 25% or 125% of charge current.....32 amp charger needs 40 amp minimum circuit.

Big code violation besides being metal which is also a violation when connecting to a plastic box.
