Why a 60A Circuit for Level 2 Charging?
Many Level 2 EV chargers benefit from a dedicated 60-amp circuit to deliver higher continuous charging output within the equipment’s specifications and the National Electrical Code’s requirements for continuous loads. Pairing the breaker with SEU #6 conductors ensures the circuit is appropriately sized for safety, performance, and future EV needs.
