Scope of Work and Materials Installed
Our team installed a dedicated 240V, 60-amp circuit to power the customer-supplied Level 2 EV charging equipment, following manufacturer specifications and local code requirements. Positioning the charger within three feet of the main panel helped keep the run short, efficient, and tidy.
- Electrical permit: Filed with the county to ensure inspection and compliance.
- Dedicated 60A breaker: New standard 60-amp breaker installed for the EV circuit.
- #6 SEU copper wiring: Approximately 10 feet of 3-wire SEU #6 for the feeder.
- Charger connection: Installed and connected customer-supplied equipment via hardwiring or receptacle as appropriate for the unit.
After installation, we performed safety checks, verified proper circuit labeling, and tested the charger to confirm reliable operation at the expected load.
Why a 60-Amp Level 2 EV Setup
A dedicated 60-amp circuit supports many modern Level 2 EV chargers, providing faster charging compared to standard household outlets. Keeping the charger close to the panel reduces voltage drop, minimizes material usage, and results in a clean, professional finish. This configuration offers:
- Faster charging to keep daily driving convenient.
- Enhanced safety with a dedicated, breaker-protected circuit.
- Code compliance through permitted and inspected work.
- Neat appearance with a short, direct wiring run near the panel.
