Level 2 EV Charger Installation and Panel Rejuvenation in Concord, NC

Touchstone Electric’s Charlotte team (Matthews branch) completed a professional Level 2 EV charger installation and full panel rejuvenation for homeowner Rudolf Ratajc in Concord, NC. Led by technician Chris Rogers, the project was completed on September 19, 2025 and included a hardwired charger on a dedicated circuit with 60A GFCI protection, a clean run of #6 copper conductors, and permitting with the county for a safe, code-compliant finish.

Scope of Work Completed

Hardwired Level 2 EV charger (customer-supplied) for a secure, continuous-duty connection.
Dedicated 60-amp GFCI protection to help guard against ground faults during charging.
20 feet of SEU #6 (3-wire) copper installed to support the 60A load safely and efficiently.
Full electrical panel rejuvenation to optimize safety, reliability, and performance.
Electrical permit filed with the county to support inspections and local code compliance.

Panel Rejuvenation: Safety-Focused Tune-Up

Our panel rejuvenation service elevates safety and reliability by addressing common issues that can lead to overheating, nuisance tripping, or performance loss. For this Concord project, our team:

Vacuumed and cleaned the panel interior.
Re-tensioned all accessible connections, including lugs and breaker terminals.
Verified that ground and neutral bars are separated with one conductor per lug.
Inspected for water intrusion and resealed openings to reduce arc risks and keep out critters.
Confirmed the service is receiving the correct voltage from the power provider.
Applied antioxidant to conductors where appropriate.
Tested AFCI and GFCI functionality with the customer’s consent.

Why This Setup Works for Concord EV Owners

Faster Level 2 charging on a properly sized 60A circuit for dependable overnight top-offs.
Added protection with GFCI at the breaker to help detect and interrupt ground faults.
Hardwired connection reduces plug wear and supports continuous-duty charging.
#6 copper conductors minimize voltage drop over the short run and help future-proof capacity.
Cleaner, tighter panel reduces heat and nuisance trips while supporting long-term reliability.

Permitting and Compliance in Concord, NC

Touchstone Electric filed the electrical permit for this Level 2 EV charger installation so the work could be inspected as required by local authorities. Please note: the permit included is only for electrical work. If a project requires any non-electrical permits (such as Historic Preservation, Environmental/Septic, Zoning, separate Subcontractor, or Builder’s permits), those are not included. If additional permits are discovered to be necessary, we will identify what you need to handle and/or provide a price to process those extra non-electrical permits for you.
