Level 2 EV Charger Install + Duke Energy Rebate in Charlotte

Project overview

Our licensed electrician, Jose Rodriguez, installed a dedicated 240V circuit to power a customer-supplied Level 2 EV charging unit. The work was performed to current code standards and coordinated through the permitting process to ensure a smooth inspection in Charlotte.

• Dedicated 60-amp breaker installed to support continuous EV charging loads (ideal for many 48A Level 2 chargers).
• #6 THHN conductors pulled for safe, efficient power delivery on the new circuit.
• 3/4-inch PVC conduit mounted with proper fittings and support for a clean, durable cable path.
• Connection made for the customer-supplied EV charger (receptacle or hardwired, as appropriate for the unit).
• Labeling, torque verification, and function testing completed for safety and reliability.

This setup provides fast, dependable at-home charging and is built with room for future vehicle upgrades and higher daily mileage needs.
