Level 2 EV Charger Installation Completed in Apex, NC
Touchstone Electric completed a Level 2 EV charger installation for Duke Energy - Allumia in Apex, North Carolina. This home charging upgrade was designed to provide a dedicated electrical circuit for a customer-supplied EV charger, helping support faster and more convenient charging at home.
Technician Gustavo Peralta performed the electrical work for this Raleigh branch service appointment. The installation included the required wiring, circuit protection, and permit coordination needed for the EV charging project.
Dedicated 50-Amp Circuit for Home EV Charging
Level 2 chargers require more electrical capacity than a standard household outlet can provide. For this installation, our team added a dedicated 50-amp GFCI breaker and installed approximately 10 feet of #6 SEU wiring to support the charger connection.
A dedicated circuit helps keep the EV charger separate from other major electrical loads in the home. Proper wire sizing and correctly matched breaker protection are important parts of a safe, reliable charging setup for an electric vehicle.

Why Professional EV Charger Installation Matters
An EV charger can become one of the larger electrical loads in a home. Professional installation helps ensure the circuit, breaker, wiring, and charger connection are selected and installed for the equipment being used. It also helps identify when conduit, feeder upgrades, panel work, or other electrical improvements may be needed for a particular property.
For this completed service in Apex, the installation included the new wiring and 50-amp GFCI protection needed for the Level 2 charging circuit. Permit coordination was also included to support a properly documented electrical project.
