I think I did a bit of over kill, because all the wire was inserted into grey plastic conduit, as everything in my garage was in conduit.
I had an electrician actually do the connection at the fuse box and the receptacle. He told me I did an over kill feeding the wire through the conduit. Conduit was only required for non-insulated single stranded wire. The wires that are insulated with 3 wires don't need the conduit.
Actually nothing in the NEC prohibiting it, however, if any of it is outdoors, you must use UF cable as it is considered a wet location.
