Level 2 EV Charger Installation in Durham, NC
Touchstone Electric’s Raleigh branch completed a permitted, code-compliant Level 2 EV charger installation for homeowner William Greenlee in Durham, NC on October 21, 2025. Led by technician Matthew Castello, this project delivered fast, reliable home charging with the safety features local inspectors look for.
Project Overview
- Permit pulled: We filed the electrical permit with the county and coordinated for inspection.
- Dedicated EV circuit: Installed a 50A GFCI breaker for enhanced protection, serving a Level 2 EV charging circuit.
- Proper conductor sizing: Ran #6 SEU (3‑wire) wiring to support the dedicated EV load and minimize voltage drop.
- Customer‑supplied charger: Safely installed and connected the homeowner’s EVSE per manufacturer specifications.
- Clean finish and labeling: Clear panel labeling and tidy routing for an organized, serviceable setup.
Every jurisdiction can require different permits for certain projects; this job required the electrical permit only. If additional non-electrical permits are ever needed for a future project, our team will advise on next steps and options.
Safety and Code Compliance
Level 2 charging places continuous demand on your electrical system. To protect the home and vehicle, we installed a 50A GFCI breaker and used #6 SEU 3‑wire conductors for the feeder. GFCI protection and properly sized wiring help meet electrical code requirements, improve reliability, and reduce nuisance tripping.
Before final handoff, we verified torque settings, performed function tests on the charger, and confirmed correct labeling. With the permit in place, the installation was readied for inspection so the homeowner can charge confidently.
