Level 2 EV Charger Installation in Lancaster, SC
Touchstone Electric’s Columbia branch completed a rebate-ready Level 2 EV charger installation in Lancaster, SC for Duke Energy - Allumia. Completed on July 3, 2026, this project delivered a safe, code-compliant 240V charging solution that meets utility rebate requirements and sets the homeowner up for faster, more convenient charging at home.
Our licensed electricians—Matt Silber, Cash Divver, and Chris Rogers—handled everything from permitting to final testing for a seamless experience.
What We Installed
This Level 2 setup was designed for reliability, performance, and future rebate eligibility. Key elements included:
- Permit handled and inspection coordination with the local authority to ensure full compliance.
- Dedicated 240V, 50-amp circuit added at the main electrical panel using a new two-pole 50A breaker.
- 6/3 NM-B copper wiring run from the panel to the charger location to support continuous Level 2 charging loads.
- PVC conduit used where required to protect and route wiring neatly and to code.
- Customer-supplied EV charger connected per manufacturer specifications (hardwired or receptacle-based as appropriate).
- Labeling, torque verification, and final testing to confirm proper voltage, secure terminations, and safe operation.
Rebate-Ready, Utility-Aligned Installation
We coordinated the installation to align with Duke Energy’s EV charging rebate requirements. That means the electrical design, materials, and documentation were selected and organized to help streamline rebate submission after inspection. Our team handled the permit process, maintained code compliance throughout, and provided the supporting details typically needed for rebate programs.
- Code-compliant materials and workmanship throughout the circuit and charger connection.
- Clear documentation of the installed 50-amp circuit and equipment configuration.
- Permit pulled and inspection coordination to support program eligibility.
Why Upgrade to a Level 2 Charger?
Level 2 charging uses a 240V circuit to deliver significantly faster charging compared to a standard 120V outlet. With a dedicated 50-amp circuit and properly sized wiring, most modern EVs can add meaningful range in a fraction of the time—making overnight top-offs and quick turnarounds simple and dependable.
- Faster, more consistent charging for daily driving needs.
- Dedicated circuit reduces nuisance tripping and shared-load issues.
- Future-ready capacity for many current and next-generation EVs.
