Would I be insane to try to install a home electric car charger myself?

My wife and I have an electric car. We are moving to a new house we bought. Obviously it would be better to get an electrician to do it, but I'm wondering if it's extremely dangerous to do DIY? Money is kind of tight right now but we need home charging. The only part I'm really worried about is working with the breaker box. I'm confident I can run the small amount of conduit and install the NEMA 14-50 in my garage without issue. submitted by /u/tyrannischgott [link] [comments]
