Why a 60-Amp Circuit for a Level 2 Charger?
Many Level 2 EV chargers deliver up to 48A of continuous charging, which typically requires a 60A circuit under code requirements. By installing a dedicated 60-amp breaker with THHN conductors in EMT conduit, we help homeowners achieve faster charging speeds, reduce charge times, and support current and future EV needs.
