I currently have a level 2 Tesla wall connector installed on a 60amp breaker via 6 AWG wiring. I need to switch the wall connector out with a different charger brand. The problem is that the Tesla is hardwired through the top, and the other wall connectors I'm considering are fed through the bottom.

Can I extend the current wiring via J-Box and ~2' of 6AWG wire or do I have to run a whole new wire? See the pic linked below for more info.

As long as you have a junction box then it’s legal to splice it.
