Project overview: Level 2 EV charger installation in Matthews, NC

Touchstone Electric’s Charlotte team completed a professional Level 2 EV charger installation for a homeowner in Matthews, NC. The project was led by technician Ben Lively and finalized on November 6, 2024, with full permit handling and utility rebate support. The customer, Duke Energy - Allumia, provided the charger, and our crew delivered a safe, code-compliant connection on a dedicated 60A circuit.

Whether you’re adding your first electric vehicle charger or upgrading from a standard outlet, our process is designed to make charging at home fast, reliable, and straightforward.

What we installed and how we did it

Dedicated 60A breaker: We installed a new 60-amp breaker in the service panel to power the Level 2 charger safely and independently.
Properly sized conductors: Approximately 20 feet of THHN conductors were routed in conduit to create a clean, durable, and code-compliant run from the panel to the charger location.
Charger connection: The customer-supplied EV charger was mounted and connected per manufacturer specifications, with final torque checks at all terminations.
Permitting and inspection: Our team secured the required permit and coordinated inspection with the local authority to ensure compliance with current electrical codes.
Performance verification: We completed functional testing to confirm correct voltage, grounding, and charging operation before turning the system over to the homeowner.

Every installation we perform in Matthews follows best practices for load calculations, conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and equipment placement to support safe daily charging.

Duke Energy rebate support for Matthews homeowners

To help reduce out-of-pocket costs, we assisted with the Duke Energy EV rebate paperwork. Our team guided the homeowner through the necessary steps and documentation so they could take advantage of available incentives. While rebate amounts and eligibility can vary, our goal is to make the process simple and ensure you receive any benefits you qualify for.
