Project overview
Touchstone Electric’s Charlotte branch completed a rebate‑ready Level 2 EV charger installation for Duke Energy - Allumia in Charlotte, NC. Led by technician Christian Cedillos and finished on February 4, 2026, this project delivered a clean, code‑compliant 240V charging solution with a dedicated circuit, permitted work, and added whole‑home surge protection.
Whether you’re upgrading to your first EV or optimizing your home’s charging reliability, our team designs each installation around safety, performance, and your utility’s rebate requirements.
What we installed
- Dedicated 50A breaker added to the main electrical panel for the EV charging circuit.
- THHN copper conductors in 3/4-inch EMT conduit for a neat, durable surface‑mounted run to the charger location.
- Customer‑supplied Level 2 EV charger professionally mounted and connected per manufacturer specifications.
- Whole‑home surge protector installed at the main panel to help shield appliances and electronics from damaging voltage spikes.
- Electrical permit filed with the county to ensure the installation meets current code and inspection standards.
The result is a reliable, right‑sized charging setup that maximizes your Level 2 charger’s performance while protecting the rest of your home’s electrical system.
Duke Energy rebate‑ready installation
This Charlotte EV charger install was itemized with a dedicated Duke Energy EV rebate line item and completed with the components and documentation a rebate‑ready project typically requires: a permitted installation, a dedicated 240V circuit, and professional workmanship. If you’re a Duke Energy customer, we can help ensure your scope of work aligns with rebate‑eligible best practices so you can apply with confidence.
Every home is different. Our team evaluates panel capacity, circuit routing, and charger requirements before proposing the most efficient path to a compliant, rebate‑ready installation.
Safety and code compliance
EV charging places continuous load on your electrical system. We size the circuit to the charger, use THHN conductors within EMT conduit for protection and longevity, and make secure terminations and labeling at the panel. Pulling a permit and following local code gives you peace of mind and a clear record for utility rebates and future home sales.
The added whole‑home surge protector provides an extra layer of defense against grid fluctuations and lightning‑related surges, helping extend the lifespan of sensitive electronics and major appliances throughout the home.
