Level 2 EV Charger Installation in Edgemoor, SC

Touchstone Electric completed a 50-amp Level 2 EV charger upgrade for Duke Energy - Allumia in Edgemoor, SC. Performed by technician Patrick Burke on June 25, 2025, this project replaced an older charging setup with a dedicated, higher-capacity circuit for faster, more reliable home charging.

As a local EV charging contractor, our Greenville team delivers clean installs that meet code, protect your electrical system, and improve charging performance—ideal for daily commuting and overnight top-offs.

What We Installed

50-amp breaker upgrade: We added a dedicated 240V/50A circuit to support Level 2 charging and reduce charging times compared to standard 120V outlets.
THHN feeder conductors: New THHN conductors were routed from the main electrical panel to the charging location to provide a robust, code-compliant power supply.
Customer-supplied EV charger connection: The Level 2 charger was properly mounted and connected to the new dedicated circuit per manufacturer guidelines.
Whole-home surge protection: A panel-mounted surge protector was installed to help guard sensitive electronics and appliances from power surges and voltage spikes.
Electrical permitting: We filed the electrical permit with the county to ensure the work aligns with local requirements and the National Electrical Code (NEC).

After installation, we performed function checks and labeling so the customer has a safe, easy-to-understand setup.

Why a 50-Amp Level 2 Charger?

Level 2 (240V) charging provides significantly faster charge times than standard 120V outlets, giving drivers the flexibility to recover more range in less time. A dedicated 50-amp circuit also helps:

Deliver consistent charging performance for most home EVSE models
Reduce nuisance trips by isolating the charger on its own breaker
Support future-ready charging needs as vehicles and usage evolve

Permits, Safety, and Code Compliance

Our team secured the required electrical permit and completed the installation to current code standards. Jurisdictions can differ on non-electrical requirements; if a project needs additional approvals beyond the standard electrical permit, we’ll advise you on next steps before work proceeds.

The added whole-home surge protection provides an extra layer of defense against grid fluctuations and lightning-related surges, helping extend the life of your home’s electrical equipment.

Rebates and Local Incentives
