Project overview: Level 2 EV charger installation in Matthews, NC
Touchstone Electric recently completed a professional Level 2 EV charger installation and 60-amp circuit for homeowner Hannah Marcus in Matthews, NC. The project was handled by our Charlotte branch and completed by technician Mark Viktorovich on 09/24/2025. The customer supplied the charger, and we delivered a clean, code-compliant hookup with the proper permit for safe, reliable home charging.
What we installed
- Customer-supplied Level 2 EV charger installation: Professionally mounted and wired during a single visit, including either a dedicated receptacle or hardwired connection per the charger’s requirements.
- Electrical permit filed with the county: We handled the electrical permit to ensure the work aligns with local code and inspection processes.
- Dedicated 60A breaker: Installed a standard 60-amp breaker to serve the EV charger on its own circuit for dependable performance.
- THHN #6 conductors (approx. 25 ft): Pulled appropriately sized copper conductors for a 60-amp EV charging circuit, providing capacity for high-power charging loads.
- 1" PVC conduit (approx. 15 ft): Installed and secured conduit with the necessary fittings, connectors, and LBs to protect wiring and maintain a tidy, professional appearance.
- NM-B 6/3 transition (approx. 4 ft): Utilized a short run with a junction box where needed to complete the circuit in accordance with code and manufacturer guidance.
After installation, our technician verified terminations, tightened connections, labeled the panel, and powered up the circuit to confirm proper operation of the Level 2 charger.
Code-compliant, permitted EV charging you can trust
Every EV charging project we complete in Matthews starts with safety and compliance. From the 60A breaker to the THHN #6 conductors and 1" PVC conduit, materials were selected and installed to meet the demands of Level 2 charging and local electrical code.

When such items are necessary, we provide guidance on what’s needed and options for assistance.
