Level 2 EV Charger Circuit Installed in Charlotte, NC
Touchstone Electric’s Charlotte team, operating from our Matthews branch, completed a permitted Level 2 EV charger circuit for Robert Peterson in Charlotte. On June 6, 2024, technician Briar Davis installed a dedicated 50-amp circuit, optimized the existing panel for space, and delivered a clean, inspection-ready setup for safe, reliable home charging.
Project Overview
This installation provides a robust, dedicated supply for a customer-supplied Level 2 charger. The scope included running a new 50A circuit from the main panel to the charging location, protecting wiring in conduit where exposed, and ensuring the panel had adequate space without compromising existing household circuits.
- Dedicated 50A protection: Installed a 50-amp breaker sized for a typical Level 2 EV charging load.
- New circuit run: Approximately 50 feet of 6/2 NM-B cable to support the higher demand of EV charging.
- Clean routing and protection: About 40 feet of 3/4-inch PVC conduit used where required for a neat, durable installation.
- Panel optimization: Two 15-amp tandem breakers added to free up space while keeping lighting and standard circuits protected and code-conscious.
- Charger hookup: Connection for the customer’s EV charging equipment, with a tidy termination suited to the device’s specifications.
- Permitting and inspection: Electrical permit filed and inspection scheduling handled by our team.
How We Ensured a Safe, Code-Conscious Result
Our process began with a site assessment of the panel’s available capacity and an optimal route for the circuit. By using tandem breakers strategically, we created the necessary panel space without overloading the enclosure. The 6/2 NM-B feeder and PVC conduit path were selected for performance, durability, and a clean final look. We handled the permitting with the local authority and prepared the project for inspection to help the homeowner move from installation to charging with confidence.
Duke Energy Program Coordination
For Charlotte homeowners, potential utility incentives can help offset the cost of EV charging upgrades. Our team coordinated documentation associated with current Duke Energy programs and clarified what portions of the project were applicable. While program rules can change, we help customers understand options and streamline any qualifying submissions.
