Date completed: 11/25/2025
Scope of Work: 220V Hardwired Charging Circuit
Our team installed a dedicated Level 2 circuit designed to support a modern EV charger and reduce charge times compared to standard household outlets. Work performed included:
- New 220V dedicated circuit for a hardwired Level 2 EV charger at the exterior garage location requested by the homeowner.
- 60A breaker installation in the existing service panel to match the load requirements of the customer’s charger.
- 25 feet of SEU #6 (3‑wire) cable routed, secured, and protected as required for an exterior run.
- Hardwired connection to the customer-supplied EV charger (no receptacle needed).
- Permitting handled and included as part of the project.
- Duke Energy EV Rebate support with a clear rebate price breakdown noted on the job.
This configuration provides a robust platform for fast Level 2 charging and helps ensure dependable performance for daily use.
Code Compliance, Permitting, and Utility Coordination
Safety and compliance were top priorities. Our crew followed applicable electrical codes and best practices for exterior wiring, conductor sizing, support, and equipment terminations. We secured the necessary permit and documented the Duke Permit charge and Duke Energy EV rebate breakdown on the invoice so the homeowner has a clear record of all project components.
While rebate eligibility and approval are determined by the utility’s program, we provide guidance and the documentation homeowners need to pursue available incentives.
Why a 60A Circuit for Level 2 Charging?
Many hardwired Level 2 chargers are designed for higher output and benefit from a 60A circuit, enabling faster charging than lower-amp setups. A dedicated 220V circuit also helps protect your home’s electrical system by isolating EV charging load from other household circuits.
- Significantly faster charge times than standard 120V outlets.
- Dedicated, properly sized wiring and breaker for reliable operation.
- Clean, permanent connection with a hardwired EVSE.
