Level 2 EV Charger Installation in Durham, NC
Touchstone Electric completed a professional Level 2 EV charger installation in Durham, NC on July 10, 2026. Led by technician Gustavo Peralta from our Raleigh branch, this project included a permitted, code-compliant 240V circuit, a new 50-amp GFCI breaker, and properly sized conductors to power a customer-supplied EV charging unit.
Project Overview
Our team installed a dedicated 240V circuit to support fast, reliable Level 2 charging. The scope covered running new wiring from the main panel to the charger location and completing either a hardwired connection or an EV-rated receptacle, depending on the charger’s design. Work was performed to current NEC and local code standards with a permit secured through the City of Durham.
- Dedicated 50-amp GFCI breaker for added protection and compliance for EV charging circuits.
- 6/3 NM-B cable for the interior segment of the run where appropriate.
- #6 THHN copper conductors for the feeder segment to ensure proper ampacity and reduced voltage drop.
- Customer-supplied EV charger installed with either a hardwire connection or EV receptacle, as required by the unit.
- Panel labeling, torque verification, and functional testing to confirm safe operation.
- Permit obtained in Durham with documentation prepared for inspection as required.
This configuration provides dependable Level 2 charging performance, cleaner cable routing, and a safer, purpose-built circuit for daily EV charging at home.
Duke Energy Rebate Assistance
To help lower the project’s total cost, our Raleigh team assisted with the Duke Energy EV rebate for qualifying materials and labor. We prepared the supporting documentation and coordinated details so the homeowner could take advantage of the available incentive. Permit-related fees are handled separately, but the rebate helps offset much of the eligible installation work—making a high-quality Level 2 installation in Durham more affordable.
