   run wire between the studs under the sheet rock from a knock out of the   
     subpanel up to the joist and down the wall under the rock where the   
   charger will be, even though in some places it is acceptable to bore   
   holes no more than a specific side in the studs to pass wire   
   horizontally, I would wouldn't recommend it. If you do decide on   
   this, use rigid with feed through stud supports that can be mounted.   
      
      THe charger should have knock outs on the back panel inside for the   
   power entrance. Most people in this case use a rung of romix. You   
   simply surface mount the charger with the entrance poking through inside.   
      
      I always thought a charger was an appliance and should have a   
   rubber cord with cap to a surface or recessed receptacle.
