Level 2 EV Charger Installation in Maggie Valley, NC

Touchstone Electric’s Asheville team completed a Level 2 EV charger installation for homeowner Richard Moss in Maggie Valley, NC, with work performed by technician Aaron Smith. The charger was placed in the garage directly below the main panel and tied into an existing 60A 2‑pole breaker and conductors already in place. Completion date: May 19, 2025.

This project was delivered under our EV Charging service category, with a focus on Level 2 EV Charger Installation for fast, reliable at‑home charging.

What We Installed and Verified

Customer‑supplied Level 2 EV charger mounted in the garage and connected to the existing 60A circuit, with secure, code‑compliant terminations.
Whole‑home surge protection installed at the main electrical panel to help protect sensitive appliances and electronics from power surges and voltage spikes.
Utility permitting handled through the appropriate Duke permitting process for a compliant installation.

Our process included confirming proper conductor sizing, torqueing breaker terminations, and performing functional checks so the homeowner could begin charging confidently the same day.

Electrical Safety Check and Panel Corrections

As part of the visit, we completed a comprehensive safety review of the service equipment. Our inspection included checking for loose conductors, verifying labeling, and scanning for damage or heat issues.

Remedied a nail through the back of the panel to protect conductors and the enclosure from further damage.
Identified a completely unhooked stove circuit during the inspection so the homeowner could plan next steps to restore proper function.

These findings and corrections help reduce the risk of nuisance tripping, overheating, and future service interruptions—especially important when adding a higher‑load device like an EV charger.

Benefits of Whole‑Home Surge Protection

Voltage fluctuations, lightning events, and power cycling from large appliances can send damaging spikes through a home’s electrical system. By installing a surge protective device (SPD) at the main panel, excess voltage is diverted safely to ground before it reaches sensitive electronics and hard‑wired equipment.

This added layer of defense supports the longevity of HVAC equipment, refrigerators, washers/dryers, lighting, and the new EV charging equipment.
