Level 2 EV Charger Installation in Clayton, NC — Project Overview

On April 27, 2026, our Raleigh branch completed a professional Level 2 EV charger installation in Clayton, NC for Duke Energy – Allumia. Lead technician Brad Williams installed a dedicated 60-amp circuit and hardwired a customer-supplied Emporia charging unit, delivering safe, reliable home charging that meets local code and utility program requirements.

To ensure the best placement and performance, we routed the new circuit from the home’s main electrical panel, along the exterior, through the crawlspace, and into the garage. The finished installation looks clean, operates quietly, and supports fast Level 2 charging for daily driving needs.

What We Installed

Dedicated 60A circuit engineered for Level 2 EV charging, designed to NEC and local code standards.
New 60A breaker added in the main panel with proper labeling and torqueing to manufacturer specs.
#6 gauge conductors (SEU 3-wire) run approximately 30 feet with secure supports and protective pathway through the crawlspace and into the garage.
Hardwired Emporia Level 2 charger mounted at a convenient parking location for easy daily plug-in.
Permitting and compliance: we obtained the required electrical permit and coordinated with the local authority for inspection.
Duke Energy rebate support: documentation and installation details prepared to help the customer take advantage of available EV incentives.
System verification: circuit testing, charger startup checks, and final cleanup.

Why a 60A Level 2 Circuit Makes Sense

Faster charging: Level 2 charging dramatically reduces time compared to a standard 120V outlet, with the capacity to support higher charging rates when the vehicle and charger allow.
Dedicated capacity: a purpose-built 60A line helps prevent nuisance trips and minimizes load on other home circuits.
Future-ready: supports many current and next-generation EVs and chargers without immediate panel changes.
Clean, durable setup: hardwiring creates a tidy look and robust connection for long-term reliability.

Permit-Ready and Rebate-Friendly

We also supported the Duke Energy EV rebate process by providing installation documentation and guidance, helping the customer maximize available incentives for their Level 2 upgrade.
