Touchstone Electric’s Taylors branch completed a professional Level 2 EV charger installation for Duke Energy - Allumia in Greenville, SC. Led by technician Tyler Harris, this December 2024 project included full permit handling, a dedicated 50-amp circuit, new breaker installation, and clean, code-compliant wiring to support dependable home charging.
Our team also coordinated documentation to support the Duke Energy EV rebate, helping streamline incentives while ensuring the installation met both utility program requirements and the latest electrical codes.
What we installed
- Dedicated 50A, 240V circuit for Level 2 charging capacity, sized for today’s EVSE requirements and future-ready performance.
- New 50A breaker in the main electrical panel to provide reliable overcurrent protection for the charger.
- 6/3 NM-B wiring routed neatly and safely to the charger location, with conduit and fittings where required by code and site conditions.
- Proper EVSE connection via a dedicated receptacle or hardwired termination (per the charger manufacturer’s specifications).
- Panel optimization using tandem AFCI breakers where appropriate to maintain code compliance and make efficient use of space.
- Final labeling, testing, and commissioning to verify safe operation and expected charging performance.
The result is a fast, convenient Level 2 charging setup that shortens charge times significantly compared to standard 120V outlets, providing dependable daily charging for the customer’s EV.
Permit handling and Duke Energy rebate support
We managed the permit process from start to finish, then coordinated with the Duke Energy rebate program to help the customer capture eligible incentives. Our process keeps things simple:
- Confirm charger specifications and placement.
- Pull the required local permits and schedule inspections.
- Install a dedicated 240V circuit and breaker per code.
- Provide documentation to support rebate submission.
- Walk through operation and maintenance best practices.
If you’re considering a Level 2 charger in Greenville, we can help you understand available utility incentives and ensure your installation meets all program guidelines.
Safety, code compliance, and AFCI considerations
Every EV charging project is wired to the latest electrical code standards for protection and reliability. Where panel space or circuit protection requirements apply, we may use AFCI tandem breakers. Note that AFCI devices can occasionally trip due to preexisting wiring conditions (for example, shared neutrals). If needed, we can trace and correct those conditions to maintain both safety and convenience.
Our testing and verification steps ensure the EV circuit is properly grounded, connections are secure, and load calculations are appropriate for the home’s electrical system.
