My garage has had only one electrical outlet, I've decided to add 2 more with each feeding off the original outlet.
But upon looking at the original outlets wiring I'm now wondering if I need to sets of cable for the new outlets.
See images.
The original has 2 white, 2 black, and 1 ground attached to the outlet. Do I need the new outlet setup the same way or will connecting 1 white, 1 black, and 1 ground be enough for the new outlets?
 
TL;DR
Not sure if I need 2 cables for new outlet installation
