I have just ordered the 6 gauge cable and a 50 amp breaker. Hopefully will get this thing wired up next weekend. I appreciate your input!

Can you please link me to the right power cable sold by home depot or lowes?

My main concern with the installation is that it is done according to the California electric codes (Article 625). As I am looking at the document, it states that for a 32 amp load, minimum circuit breaker rating should be 40 amps. So I should be good there. As far as the wire goes, I will definitely keep an eye out for it. Thank you for the tip. I appreciate your input, guys!

I just purchased this 8 gauge wire (http://www.homedepot.com/p/Southwire-8-4-SOOW-Multi-Use-Electrical-Cord-Black-By-the-Foot-55809399/204725138?quantity=5&str_nbr=6644) and from the CC manual it seems that it requires at least a 10 gauge wire. Would that be okay or do I really need to get a 6 gauge wire? As for the circuit breaker, I have read on multiple forums that a 40 amp breaker would be fine. One of the users claimed to call CC and they have confirmed that 40 amp breaker is fine. The link to the discussion is here: http://forums.mikeholt.com/showthread.php?t=162283 I have already purchased the 40 amp breaker, but if I absolutely need a 50 amp breaker for safety then I will have to return it and get a replacement. Please advise.

Hi guys, I am trying to save some money on the installation of the NEMA 14-50 outlet in my garage to power the HCS-40P CC charger. I want to make sure that I am buying the right parts. I am including pictures of the service panel that is in my garage. I want to install the outlet few feet from it. Here is the power cable that I think will work, but please correct me if it is not the right one: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Southwire-8-4-SOOW-Multi-Use-Electrical-Cord-Black-By-the-Foot-55809399/204725138?quantity=5&str_nbr=6644 Here is the NEMA 14-50 outlet. Please let me know if that is the right part: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Leviton-50-Amp-Nylon-Power-Single-Outlet-Black-R50-00279-000/202066681?quantity=1&str_nbr=6644 One problem I am having is that the service panel I have is made by Murray and I understand I'd need a 40 amp breaker of the same brand, however, I cannot find a 40 amp circuit breaker of this brand that would fit in the space under the other breakers. Has anyone in California had it installed? I want to receive the rebate on the charger which would pay it off, but I need to have it installed according to the CA electric codes. I appreciate any help in this matter.
