On February 12, 2026, our Charlotte branch, operating out of our Matthews location, completed a Level 2 EV charger installation with a new 60-amp circuit for homeowner Manikanta Sai Preeth Vasala in Charlotte, NC. Lead technician Christian Cedillos handled the project from start to finish, ensuring a safe, neat, and code-compliant setup for reliable home charging.
This job involved integrating a customer-supplied Level 2 charger, adding the appropriate overcurrent protection, and routing new conductors in metal conduit for a durable, professional finish.
What We Installed
- New 60A breaker added to the electrical panel to serve the EV charging circuit.
- Approximately 15 feet of #6 THHN conductors (3–4 strands as required) sized for a 60-amp EV load.
- 3/4-inch EMT conduit with securely mounted straps, fittings, and terminations for mechanical protection and a clean appearance.
- Customer-supplied Level 2 EV charger hookup, with either an appliance receptacle or hardwired connection as appropriate to the unit and site layout.
- Electrical permit filed with the local authority having jurisdiction for a properly documented installation.
Our team carefully verified equipment placement and routing, sized conductors and protection for the continuous EV charging load, and completed the installation in one coordinated visit.
Why a 60-Amp Circuit for Level 2 Charging?
A 60-amp branch circuit supports many modern Level 2 chargers that deliver up to 48 amps of continuous charging (80% of breaker rating per code). This configuration helps reduce charge times dramatically compared to a standard 120V outlet, making daily driving in Charlotte more convenient.
Using #6 THHN copper in EMT offers excellent durability and heat dissipation, while the metal conduit provides robust mechanical protection—ideal for garages and utility areas.
Permitting and Code Compliance in Charlotte
Touchstone Electric pulled the required electrical permit for this project to keep the work documented and aligned with applicable codes. Every jurisdiction can require different permits depending on the scope; this job’s permit covered the electrical portion only. If a project requires additional non-electrical approvals—such as zoning, historic preservation, environmental/septic, builder, or separate subcontractor permits—those are not included. When additional permits are needed, we advise homeowners on what to file directly and can provide pricing to process those extras upon request.
Our installations follow the National Electrical Code and local requirements so your EV charger is safe, reliable, and ready for inspection.
