Touchstone Electric’s Raleigh team completed a clean, code-compliant Level 2 EV charger installation for Duke Energy - Allumia on August 25, 2026. Our licensed electrician, Brad Williams, handled everything from the dedicated circuit and conduit to permitting and documentation for the Duke Energy rebate—so the customer could plug in with confidence.
What We Installed
This was a customer-supplied Level 2 charger. To power it safely and reliably, we installed a new 60-amp dedicated branch circuit and routed wiring neatly to the charger location. The scope included:
- 60A two-pole breaker added in the existing service panel for a dedicated EV circuit
- #6 THHN conductors pulled for the 60-amp load, sized to manufacturer and code requirements
- 3/4″ EMT conduit for durable, professional surface routing
- Liquidtight flexible conduit at equipment transitions for a sealed, vibration-tolerant connection
- #6 SEU cable as needed for the run and terminations
The result is a tidy, professional install that’s ready for daily charging and future EV ownership. All terminations were tightened to spec, labeling was completed, and the circuit was tested before commissioning.

- Faster at-home charging compared to standard 120V outlets
- Dedicated circuit minimizes nuisance trips and voltage drop
- Future-ready capacity for newer EV models
