Level 2 EV Charger Installation in Charlotte, NC
Touchstone Electric’s Charlotte team completed a professional Level 2 EV charger installation for Duke Energy – Allumia in Charlotte, NC. Led by technician Christian Cedillos, this project was finished on January 17, 2025 and included a dedicated 240V circuit, clean wire routing, and a fully permitted, code-compliant setup.
Based out of our Matthews branch and serving the greater Charlotte area, we design and install safe, reliable charging solutions that fit the home and the vehicle’s charging requirements—while helping homeowners take advantage of available incentives.
What We Installed
- Dedicated 30A double‑pole breaker for Level 2 EV charging, ensuring safe, reliable power on a dedicated circuit.
- 35 feet of 10/3 NM‑B wiring from the electrical panel to the charging location, with a neat, professional pathway.
- 25 feet of wire fishing through finished spaces to minimize wall and ceiling disturbance where possible.
- Customer‑supplied charger hookup (receptacle or hardwired) completed to manufacturer specifications.
- Electrical permit secured with the county for a compliant installation and inspection readiness.
This installation delivers fast, convenient at‑home charging and is tailored to support the customer’s EV and daily driving routine.
Duke Energy EV Charger Rebate Applied
To help lower out‑of‑pocket costs, our team applied the Duke Energy EV charger rebate to eligible portions of the project. We assist customers by preparing the qualifying documentation and guiding them through the rebate process, so they can get the most value from available incentives.
Rebates typically apply to eligible materials and labor for the EV charging circuit and connection. Items outside the program’s scope (such as certain panel upgrades or non‑electrical permit fees) are not covered by the rebate, if applicable.
Permits and Local Code Compliance
We filed the required electrical permit with the county for this project. Please note that every jurisdiction has different requirements. The permit we provide covers the electrical portion of the work only. If a project requires additional non‑electrical permits—such as Historic Preservation, Environmental/Septic, Zoning, Builder, or separate subcontractor permits—those are not included. If additional permits are needed, we’ll inform you and can provide guidance or a price for handling those filings.
