Level 2 EV Charger Installation in Charlotte, NC
Touchstone Electric’s Charlotte team, based out of our Matthews branch, completed a professional Level 2 EV charger installation for Duke Energy - Allumia in Charlotte, NC. Performed by technician Mark Viktorovich on July 16, 2025, this project included a permitted, dedicated 240V circuit with a 60-amp breaker, cleanly routed conduit, and THHN conductors to support reliable, fast home charging. The installation is eligible for the Duke Energy EV rebate.

- Professional conduit run: Neatly mounted 1" PVC conduit with the appropriate fittings and transitions for a secure, tidy route.
- Heavy-gauge conductors: Pulled #6 THHN wiring in conduit for dependable capacity and performance.
- Interior cabling where permitted: Utilized 6/3 NM-B for the interior portion of the run, with proper junctioning as needed.
