Level 2 EV Charger Installation in Chapel Hill, NC
Our Raleigh branch recently completed a Level 2 EV charger installation for a customer in Chapel Hill, NC. The customer, Duke Energy - Allumia, supplied the charger, and our licensed team provided a dedicated 240V circuit to power it safely and reliably. This project was completed on July 31, 2026.
To ensure dependable performance, we installed a 60A breaker with properly sized #6 gauge wiring and routed the circuit cleanly with conduit where needed. We secured a permit in Chapel Hill and handled end-to-end installation and testing so the customer could charge efficiently at home.

What We Installed and Why It Matters
A Level 2 charger reduces charging time significantly compared to a standard 120V outlet. To support faster charging safely, our team:
- Added a dedicated 60A breaker in the service panel for the EV circuit
- Ran #6 wiring to meet load and distance requirements
- Used conduit and secure mounting methods for a clean, durable finish
- Connected and tested the customer-supplied charger for proper operation
The result is a reliable, code-compliant charging setup designed to handle the continuous load demands of EV charging with room for future vehicle needs.
