On March 19, 2025, our Charlotte branch based in Matthews completed a professional Level 2 EV charger installation for Duke Energy - Allumia in Concord, NC. Led by technician Chris Rogers, this project provided a safe, code-compliant 240V charging solution designed for dependable, everyday use.
Project Overview
To deliver reliable Level 2 charging performance, we installed a dedicated circuit and properly sized wiring to the customer’s EV charging location. The work was tailored to meet both the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local requirements in Concord, ensuring long-term safety and functionality.
- 60A CH breaker installation: A new 60-amp CH-style breaker was added to the existing panel for a dedicated EV charging circuit.
- #6 SEU wiring: Approximately 25 feet of #6 SEU (3-wire) cable was run and terminated to support the EVSE load.
- Major appliance hookup: The customer-supplied Level 2 charger was connected per manufacturer specifications (receptacle or hardwire as appropriate).
- Electrical permit: We filed the required electrical permit with the county to keep the project compliant and ready for inspection.
Why a 60A Circuit for Level 2 Charging?
Many modern Level 2 EV chargers can deliver up to 48A of continuous charging, which typically calls for a 60A circuit to satisfy continuous-load requirements. Pairing a 60-amp breaker with correctly sized conductors—such as #6 SEU—helps ensure the charger operates safely, reduces nuisance tripping, and provides faster, more consistent charging for daily driving.

Touchstone Electric manages the electrical permitting process for EV charger installations in Concord, NC. For this project, our team filed the electrical permit and completed the work in accordance with current codes and utility best practices. Please note that only the electrical permit is included by default; if a separate non-electrical permit is required by your jurisdiction (for example, Historic Preservation, Environmental/Septic, Zoning, or builder-related permits), those would be handled separately.
Duke Energy EV Charger Rebate Eligibility
This installation was completed to be eligible for the Duke Energy EV Charger Rebate. We help homeowners and property managers in Concord document the scope of work so they can apply for available utility incentives.
