EV Charger Upgrade for a Cornelius, NC Home
Touchstone Electric completed a professional Level 2 EV charger installation for Ryan Kennedy in Cornelius, NC. Our Charlotte branch (Matthews) sent a two-technician crew, Randy Griffin and Jake Keele, to deliver a clean, code-compliant install with a dedicated 60-amp circuit, whole-home surge protection, and full permitting and inspection coordination. The project was completed on May 21, 2024.
If you’re planning an EV charger in Cornelius, we provide end‑to‑end service—from load calculations and panel upgrades to rebate guidance—so your charger is safe, reliable, and ready when you are.
What We Installed
- Dedicated 60A circuit with a new breaker sized for Level 2 EV charging and proper overcurrent protection.
- 1-inch EMT conduit for a durable, professional raceway from the panel to the charging location.
- THHN #4 conductors in conduit and NM‑B 4/3 cable where appropriate for interior runs, all sized to meet code and performance needs.
- Metal junction boxes and fittings for secure, serviceable transitions and terminations.
- Customer‑supplied Level 2 EV charger connected and commissioned on the new dedicated circuit.
- Whole‑home surge protection to help safeguard sensitive electronics and modern appliances.
- Permit and inspection coordination handled through the county for a compliant, documented installation.
Every conductor, conduit bend, and termination was installed to meet the National Electrical Code and local requirements, with careful attention to labeling and panel space management.
How We Deliver a Smooth, Code-Compliant Install
- Upfront assessment: We evaluate panel capacity, discuss charger specs, and determine the best route for wiring and conduit.
- Right-sizing the circuit: A 60-amp breaker and appropriately sized conductors support common Level 2 charging needs with room for future flexibility.
- Neat workmanship: Rigid EMT, metal boxes, and tidy terminations promote safety, longevity, and an attractive finish.
- Testing and documentation: We verify connections and operation, label circuits, and coordinate inspection for peace of mind.
The result is a dependable charging setup that looks professional and performs day in and day out.
Rebate Guidance and Savings
Ryan’s project benefited from a Duke Energy EV program rebate, which helped reduce the overall out‑of‑pocket cost. Not every line item is eligible, and program details can change, so our team helps you identify what qualifies, assemble the right documentation, and submit on time.
