Level 2 EV Charger Installation in Hillsborough, NC
Touchstone Electric’s Raleigh branch completed a Level 2 EV charging upgrade for Duke Energy - Allumia in Hillsborough, NC. Our licensed team installed a dedicated 50-amp circuit, GFCI protection, and an EV-rated receptacle to support reliable 240V charging. The project was completed on August 11, 2026 by technicians Ryan Balgobin and Francisco Martinez.
Whether you’re preparing for a new EV or upgrading a temporary setup, our Level 2 installations provide faster, safer, and code-compliant charging tailored to your home and vehicle needs.
What We Installed
- 50-amp dedicated circuit sized for Level 2 charging to reduce nuisance tripping and ensure consistent performance.
- 3/4" PVC conduit run with THHN conductors for a neat, durable pathway where exposed wiring is required.
- Transition to 6/3 NM-B (Romex) as the wiring enters the home and terminates at the main electrical panel.
- 50A GFCI breaker to provide ground-fault protection and meet current safety and code requirements for EV charging locations.
- EV-rated receptacle installed for the customer-supplied charging equipment, positioned for convenient cable reach and everyday use.
- Permit handling for a compliant installation and smooth inspection process in Hillsborough.
The result is a clean, professional installation that supports most Level 2 EV charging equipment and enables faster at-home charging compared to standard 120V outlets.
Why This Setup Works for Level 2 Charging
- Speed: A 50A, 240V circuit provides the current capacity Level 2 chargers need to significantly reduce charge times.
- Safety: GFCI protection and a properly sized, dedicated circuit help safeguard users, vehicles, and the home electrical system.
- Durability: PVC conduit and high-quality conductors are selected for longevity and neat routing.
- Flexibility: An EV-rated receptacle allows swapping or upgrading EVSE without rewiring.
