Hardwired Level 2 EV Charger Installation in Charlotte, NC

Touchstone Electric’s Charlotte team completed a professional, hardwired Level 2 EV charger installation for Duke Energy - Allumia in Charlotte, NC. Led by technician Easton Mitchell, this project was finished on March 26, 2025 and delivered a clean, reliable charging solution positioned right next to the home’s electrical panel for optimal performance and convenience.

Project Highlights

Hardwired charger installed adjacent to the main panel for a short, efficient circuit run.
Dedicated 60A GFCI breaker to meet protection requirements for Level 2 EV charging equipment.
THHN #6 conductors installed in appropriate pathway for a robust, high-capacity circuit.
Permit secured and documentation handled as part of a code-compliant installation process.
Duke Energy rebate assistance provided to help lower the cost of going electric.
Customer-supplied Level 2 EV charger mounted and connected by our Charlotte (Matthews) branch.
