Professional Level 2 EV Charger Installation in Charlotte, NC
Touchstone Electric’s Charlotte branch completed a permitted Level 2 EV charging upgrade for homeowner Brian Weiss in Charlotte, NC. On January 28, 2025, our technician Ben Lively installed a dedicated 50-amp circuit and outlet to support reliable Level 2 EV charging at home.
This project was handled by our Charlotte team based out of our Matthews location, delivering a clean, code-conscious installation that’s ready for today’s high-demand EV charging needs.
What We Installed
To provide safe, consistent power for a Level 2 charger, we set up a new dedicated circuit and outlet designed for higher-amperage EV charging.
- 50-amp circuit added specifically for EV charging
- New 50-amp breaker installed in the main panel
- 65 feet of 6/3 NM-B cable run to carry 240V power for the charger
- 50-amp outlet installed for easy plug-in charging
- Electrical permit filed with the county for code compliance
- Apprentice support on site to assist with a timely, efficient installation
The result is a dedicated, high-capacity charging circuit that supports faster Level 2 charging and helps prevent nuisance trips or overloads on existing household circuits.
Why a Dedicated 50-Amp EV Circuit Matters
- Faster charging: Level 2 charging significantly reduces charging times compared to standard household outlets.
- Safety and reliability: A dedicated breaker and properly sized wiring help ensure consistent performance.
- Future-ready: The 50-amp capacity supports a wide range of current and next-generation EV chargers.
Our team performs installations under an electrical permit and follows applicable local codes for a safe, compliant setup.
Project Notes for Charlotte Homeowners
Every home is different, and panel capacity, charger location, and wiring distances can affect the final scope. For this Charlotte project, our team ran approximately 65 feet of 6/3 NM-B cable to provide the necessary ampacity for a 240V Level 2 charger and installed a new 50-amp breaker with a compatible outlet.
Please note: We handle the electrical permit for EV charger installations. If a project requires additional non-electrical permits (such as zoning or historic preservation), those are separate and may need to be obtained independently or quoted separately.
