Professional Level 2 EV Charger Installation in Raleigh, NC
Touchstone Electric’s Raleigh team completed a permitted Level 2 EV charger installation and whole-home surge protection upgrade for homeowner Shannon Robinson on December 10, 2024. Led by technician Brad Williams, this project delivers fast, reliable EV charging and added protection for the home’s sensitive electronics and appliances—backed by our Signature Lifetime Craftsmanship Warranty on all work performed.
What We Installed
- Customer-supplied Level 2 EV charger installed on a new dedicated circuit.
- 50A standard breaker added for proper EV charging capacity.
- 20 ft of SEU #8 (3-wire) wiring routed for a clean, code-compliant feeder to the charger location.
- Whole-home surge protector installed at the main electrical panel with a $10,000 / 3-year connected equipment warranty from the manufacturer.
- Electrical permit pulled in Raleigh to ensure the installation meets local code requirements.
This Level 2 setup provides significantly faster charging than a standard 120V outlet and is tailored to support most modern EVs that benefit from a 50-amp dedicated circuit.
Why Whole-Home Surge Protection Matters
Surges from lightning, utility grid fluctuations, or large appliances switching on and off can damage electronics and shorten the life of HVAC systems, refrigerators, smart devices, and EV chargers. By installing a whole-home surge protector at the main service panel, excess voltage is diverted safely to ground before it reaches your home’s circuits.
- Helps protect valuable appliances, electronics, and your new EV charging equipment.
- Reduces risk of costly replacements caused by repeated small surges.
- Manufacturer-backed $10K/3-year connected equipment warranty for added peace of mind.
Code-Compliant, Permitted Work in Raleigh
Every EV charger we install in Raleigh, NC is completed to current electrical code and local standards. For this project, Touchstone Electric pulled the electrical permit and completed the required documentation. Please note: the electrical permit is included; any additional non-electrical permits (such as historic preservation, zoning, or septic) vary by jurisdiction and are not included unless specifically arranged.
Built for Safety, Performance, and Longevity
We sized the circuit with a 50-amp breaker and ran SEU #8 (3-wire) conductors to support reliable Level 2 charging. The result is a neatly routed, efficient installation designed to keep charging times down while maintaining safety and code compliance.
All workmanship is protected by our Signature Lifetime Craftsmanship Warranty, giving Raleigh homeowners confidence that their EV charging and surge protection upgrades are installed to last.
