Touchstone Electric’s Charlotte branch, based in Matthews, completed a 60-amp Level 2 EV charger setup for Duke Energy - Allumia in Charlotte, NC. On October 17, 2025, technician Christian Cedillos delivered a clean, code-compliant installation designed for faster home charging and long-term reliability.
Project Overview
This project involved adding a dedicated 60A circuit to power a customer-supplied Level 2 EV charger. Our team provided the full electrical scope, from new breaker installation to the final connection at the charger location, ensuring safe operation and clear labeling for future service.
- Customer-supplied Level 2 EV charger
- New 60A standard breaker installed in the existing panel
- Approximately 40 feet of #6 SEU (3-wire) run for the dedicated 60A circuit
- Secure terminations and proper overcurrent protection
- County electrical permit filed by Touchstone Electric
- Duke Energy EV rebate support to help reduce out-of-pocket costs
Whether you’re charging overnight or topping off between trips, a 60A Level 2 circuit delivers the power most modern EVs need while giving you room to grow with future vehicles.
What We Installed
To support reliable Level 2 charging, we installed a dedicated 60-amp breaker and ran #6 SEU 3-wire cable from the main panel to the charger location. This configuration provides a robust, purpose-built circuit that minimizes voltage drop and helps ensure consistent charging performance.
Because the EV charger was provided by the customer, our scope included the electrical connection (either via receptacle or hardwired per device requirements) during a single visit. All work was planned to meet applicable local codes and the manufacturer’s installation guidelines.
Permitting and Inspection Readiness
Touchstone Electric filed the electrical permit with the county for this job. Permitting needs can vary by jurisdiction, and the permit included here covered only the electrical scope. If non-electrical permits are required for a project (such as historic, environmental, or zoning), those are separate from the electrical permit. Our team advises customers if additional permits are needed and can provide options for handling them.
Duke Energy EV Rebate Support
We assisted with the Duke Energy EV rebate process to help the customer maximize available incentives. Our rebate support includes documentation and submission guidance so you can take advantage of qualifying savings without the paperwork headache. For this Charlotte installation, the rebate significantly reduced overall out-of-pocket costs.
