Level 2 EV Charger Installation in Concord, NC
Our Charlotte branch, based in Matthews, completed a professional Level 2 EV charger installation for a customer in Concord, NC. Led by technician Christian Cedillos, this project delivered a safe, code-compliant 50-amp circuit dedicated to EV charging for Duke Energy - Allumia. Completed on December 19, 2024, the installation was fully permitted and configured for reliable daily charging.
What We Installed
- Dedicated 50A GFCI breaker for EV charging safety and code compliance.
- 1" PVC conduit (approximately 30 feet) with secure supports, connectors, and LBs for a neat, durable run.
- #6 THHN conductors pulled through the conduit to handle higher loads typical of Level 2 EV charging.
- Labeling and verification of proper voltage, polarity, and GFCI operation at the new circuit.
- Permitting handled with the county to ensure a compliant installation from start to finish.
This configuration supports most Level 2 EVSE units, delivering faster home charging with dependable overcurrent and ground-fault protection.
