Terminating 8/2 MC in plastic EV charger enclosure

[jjhoward]

Hello All;
Can I terminate a run of 8/2 MC into a plastic EV charger enclosure? The charger is a ChargePoint Home Flex for Volvo. This particular one has a NEMA 14-50P on it that can be removed (that is our plan). Should I use a bonding bushing on the inside of the housing and bond the MC jacket to the ground in the charger?

Thank you.

If it's bonded at one end then you're good but if it was up to me I'd use an AC disconnect next to it and hit that with the mc and then thhn to the charger.
1. No need to use a breaker lock
2. Makes it easier to service in the future
3. Sell it as a safety disconnect and people like it
4. The KO in those chargers are so jambed in and the plastic so thick alot of connector don't have much bite on the locknut.

Hardwired EV needs a breaker lock if no other disconnect is within sight. Non issue If in the garage with the panel but that's not always the case

Permanent Breaker lock out if you want to be technical or whatever
