Whether you’re upgrading to a new EV or streamlining daily charging, our Matthews-based branch serves Harrisburgh and surrounding communities with safe, efficient installations that meet current electrical code.
What we installed
- Dedicated 60A circuit and breaker: A new 60-amp two-pole breaker was added to support a high-capacity Level 2 EV charger.
- #6 THHN copper conductors (approx. 40 feet): Properly sized conductors were routed on a dedicated path to minimize voltage drop and ensure dependable charging performance.
- Customer-supplied Level 2 charger: The EVSE was professionally installed per manufacturer specifications, with either a correct receptacle or a hardwired connection as applicable.
- Panel optimization: Two 20-amp tandem breakers for small-appliance circuits were installed where the panel’s listing allows, helping free up space and maintain a neat, organized panel layout.
- Labeling and verification: All new circuits were labeled, connections torqued to spec, and operation verified under load.
- Permitting and documentation: Permit included, with documentation prepared to support the homeowner’s Duke Energy rebate submission.
Every EV charging project we complete is built around local code requirements, proper load considerations, and the manufacturer’s installation guidelines for long-term safety and performance.
Why a 60A circuit for a Level 2 EV charger?
- Faster charging: A 60-amp circuit can typically support up to 48 amps continuous output (following the 80% continuous-load guideline), reducing charge times compared to lower-amp circuits.
- Future-ready capacity: As EV technology advances, higher-capacity circuits help accommodate vehicles and chargers that can take advantage of increased current.
- Code-compliant and safe: Correct wire sizing, grounding, and overcurrent protection protect your home and ensure your EVSE operates as designed.
