Level 2 EV Charger Installation in Durham, NC
Our Raleigh branch completed a professional Level 2 EV charger installation for James Ferguson in Durham, NC on June 23, 2026. Lead technician Gustavo Peralta hardwired a 60-amp EV charging circuit to support fast, reliable home charging while keeping the installation neat, efficient, and code-compliant.
This project included pulling an electrical permit, routing new conduit, installing a dedicated breaker, and adding whole-home surge protection for added safety and equipment longevity.
Scope of Work
- Installed a hardwired Level 2 EV charger (customer-supplied unit) on a dedicated circuit.
- Added a 60A breaker in the service panel sized for a typical 48A continuous Level 2 charging load when paired with a compatible EVSE.
- Routed approximately 25 ft of 3/4-inch EMT conduit with appropriate fittings and supports for a clean, durable pathway.
- Pulled THHN #6 copper conductors (about 30 ft) for the 60A circuit, plus approximately 5 ft of #6 SEU where needed to complete the run.
- Installed a whole-home surge protector at the main electrical panel to help shield sensitive electronics and appliances from voltage spikes.
- Filed the electrical permit with the local authority having jurisdiction in Durham, NC.
Clean, Code-Compliant Installation
Every EV charging project we deliver follows current electrical code and manufacturer specifications. For James’s home in Durham, our team:
- Ran EMT conduit along a tidy, accessible path with secure supports and fittings.
- Sized conductors appropriately for the 60A circuit and verified terminations and torque values.
- Labeled the new breaker and charging circuit for easy identification at the panel.
The result is a safe, efficient installation designed to provide years of dependable charging performance.
Permitting and Inspections
Touchstone Electric handled the electrical permit for this Level 2 installation in Durham. Requirements can vary by jurisdiction, and while we include the electrical permit, other non-electrical permits (such as zoning or historic preservation) are not included unless specifically noted. Our team is happy to advise homeowners if additional approvals are required for their property.
Whole-Home Surge Protection
To complement the new charging circuit, we installed a panel-mounted surge protective device. This helps divert excess voltage to ground during transient events, which can:
- Protect connected appliances, electronics, and hardwired equipment.
- Reduce wear on internal components caused by routine minor surges.
- Add an extra layer of defense alongside point-of-use protection.
