• It depends on how far you have to run the electrical cable. I had to run my electric about 20 feet and 6 gauge wire was required

• If installing for less than maximum power, refer to local electrical code to select correct conductors and ground wire size that are suitable for the chosen circuit breaker. If installing for maximum power, use minimum 6 AWG, 90° C-rated copper wire for conductors. I used 4 AWG on both hot leads and 6 AWG for the ground.

• For full power/fastest charge - 125% of continuous load 48A = 60A. Assuming residential installation, you will want to use #4s - Which is rated for 70A in 60C Column of 310.16 NEC. 60A Breaker - 60A Rated wire.
