I am installing a new 240v receptacle in the garage to charge my electric vehicle. The charger requires a 20 amp breaker and will pull 16 amps. I plan to run 30' of 12/2 UF-B wire beneath the floor in the 3' crawl space to the outside wall electrical panel. Question – must the ground wire be insulated or can it be bare?

You can use standard 12-2 with ground on this outlet. The equipment ground wire is not individually covered.
