Our Charlotte team from the Matthews branch completed a permitted Level 2 EV charger installation for Duke Energy - Allumia in Charlotte, NC. Led by technician Cash Divver, this project delivered a dedicated 40-amp circuit and professional charger hookup to support fast, reliable at-home charging. The work was completed on May 6, 2026.
Project overview
This customer-supplied Level 2 charger was integrated into the home’s electrical system with a new, dedicated 40-amp circuit designed specifically for EV charging. Our team planned the circuit route, installed conduit and conductors, set the breaker, and made the final connection to the charger per manufacturer specifications.
