Completed: April 8, 2026
Technician: Frank Fragale
Service category: EV Charging – Level 2 EV Charger Installation
What we installed
To support safe, efficient Level 2 charging, we installed a dedicated 60-amp circuit and routed new conductors in protective conduit to the charger location. Key installation elements included:
- 60A two-pole breaker: Dedicated protection sized for Level 2 charging demands.
- THHN #6 copper conductors: Appropriately sized wiring for a 60-amp EV circuit, pulled in conduit for durability and code compliance.
- 3/4" PVC conduit: Clean, protected wire routing with secure supports and fittings for a neat, long-lasting finish.
- Charger termination: Properly landed connections and labeling per manufacturer specifications and current electrical code.
Every step was completed to current code standards with meticulous attention to safety, performance, and a tidy final appearance.
Permitting and Duke Energy rebate support
Our team handled the required permit for this Mills River project from start to finish, so the customer didn’t have to worry about paperwork or compliance. We also coordinated documentation for Duke Energy rebate eligibility, helping the property take advantage of available incentives for EV charging upgrades. Program eligibility and requirements are determined by Duke Energy, and our staff is experienced in guiding customers through the process efficiently.
Why choose a 60A Level 2 circuit?
Level 2 charging provides a substantial upgrade over standard 120V charging, reducing charge times and improving day-to-day convenience. A 60-amp circuit is a smart, future-focused choice because:
- Faster charging potential: A 60A circuit typically supports EVSEs delivering up to 48A continuous output (following the 80% continuous-load guideline), depending on the charger model.
- Room to grow: As EV technology evolves, higher-capacity circuits can support a wider range of chargers and vehicle needs.
- Code-compliant performance: Properly sized conductors and overcurrent protection contribute to reliable operation and long-term safety.
