Question:
Greetings CQD,
Can 6/2 NM cable be used to feed an electric vehicle charger and does it need to be installed in conduit if protected from physical damage on interior of residence?
Paul Chase
A
Answer:
Hello Paul, Type NM cable is permitted for use as an individual branch circuit supplying electric vehicle supply equipment, if the installation meets the criteria under uses permitted in Section 334.10. If NM cable is installed such that it is exposed to physical damage, it must be protected. See Section 334.12 and 334.15(B) for requirements addressing protection from physical damage.
