Level 2 EV Charger Installation in Charlotte, NC

On January 23, 2025, the Touchstone Electric Charlotte team (Matthews branch) completed a professional Level 2 EV charger installation in Charlotte for Duke Energy – Allumia. This project delivered a reliable, code-compliant home charging setup with a dedicated 60-amp circuit, clean wire routing, and full assistance with permitting and Duke Energy rebate documentation.

Project highlights

Dedicated 60A circuit installed to support Level 2 EV charging performance and future-ready capacity.
#6 SEU (3-wire) conductors installed for the feeder run (approximately 12 feet) to meet load and voltage drop considerations.
Clean wire fishing through finished areas to minimize wall disruption and preserve a neat appearance.
Customer-supplied charging equipment professionally connected on the new circuit in accordance with manufacturer specifications.
Permit coordination handled by our team so the project was inspection-ready and compliant with local requirements.
Apprentice support on site to maintain safety, efficiency, and jobsite cleanliness throughout the day.

Our electricians ensured tight terminations, correct breaker sizing, and proper labeling so the homeowner’s panel remains organized and easy to understand.

Why a 60-amp circuit for Level 2 charging?

Many Level 2 EV chargers are designed to deliver up to 48 amps of continuous load, which typically requires a 60A breaker and appropriately sized conductors. By installing #6 SEU wiring on a dedicated circuit, we help maximize charging speed, reduce nuisance trips, and keep the installation aligned with current electrical code and most charger manufacturer requirements.

Permit and Duke Energy rebate assistance

Touchstone Electric coordinated the required electrical permit and supported the Duke Energy EV rebate process for this Charlotte installation. Our team:

Prepared clear, itemized documentation for program review.
Verified equipment and installation details to meet rebate eligibility.
Streamlined submittals to help reduce out-of-pocket costs for the homeowner.

Rebate programs are subject to change and approval by the utility, but our Charlotte branch regularly assists homeowners with the paperwork and inspection steps needed to take advantage of available incentives.

Code-compliant, neat, and inspection-ready

From panel work to final testing, we focused on safety and a clean finish. The new 60A breaker was properly installed and labeled, conductor routing was kept tidy, and the connection to the customer’s charging equipment was completed per manufacturer guidelines. The result is a dependable home charging solution that looks professional and is ready for inspection.
