Touchstone Electric’s Charlotte team completed a Level 2 EV charging upgrade for homeowner Ted Noelker in Charlotte, NC. On April 12, 2024, technician Brian Cain installed a dedicated 40A home‑run circuit for a Level 2 EV charger and added a 50A outlet in the garage. The work was fully permitted and performed to meet local code and manufacturer guidelines so the homeowner can charge safely and reliably.
As a Matthews-based branch serving the greater Charlotte area, we focus on clean, professional installs that keep your electrical system safe while delivering the fast charging performance EV owners expect.
What we installed
- Dedicated 40A EV circuit: A new home‑run line from the service panel to the EV charging location to support Level 2 charging.
- 40A breaker: A properly sized two‑pole breaker dedicated to the EV charger for dependable operation.
- 6/2 NM‑B wiring: Appropriate cable routing for the new circuits, secured and supported per code.
- 50A garage outlet: A new high‑capacity receptacle in the garage for future-ready power needs.
- Permitting and inspection coordination: We filed for the electrical permit and coordinated inspection to ensure compliance and peace of mind.
This combination gives the homeowner fast Level 2 charging now, plus a robust 50A outlet for tools, equipment, or future upgrades.
Why a dedicated Level 2 circuit matters
Level 2 charging typically requires a dedicated circuit sized to the charger’s specifications. A correctly installed 40A circuit helps deliver faster charging times compared to standard outlets and reduces nuisance trips or overheating risks. The result is a safer, more efficient charging experience for your EV—without overloading existing household circuits.
