Level 2 EV Charging Station Installation in Raleigh, NC
Touchstone Electric’s Raleigh team completed a professional Level 2 EV charger installation for Duke Energy - Allumia on May 4, 2026. Led by technician Matthew Castello, this project delivered a fast, reliable charging solution with a dedicated 60-amp circuit, THHN wiring, and liquid-tight flexible conduit. Our team handled permitting from start to finish and applied the eligible Duke Energy rebate to help reduce overall project cost.
Project overview and scope of work
- Performed a site evaluation and load check to identify the best route and panel capacity for a Level 2 EVSE.
- Installed a dedicated 240V, 60-amp circuit specifically for the EV charging station.
- Added a matching 60A breaker in the main electrical panel and clearly labeled the new circuit.
- Pulled THHN #6 conductors to support the higher continuous load typical of Level 2 charging.
