What We Installed

To deliver reliable Level 2 charging and protect the home’s electrical system, we added a dedicated 240V circuit and all required components. Our scope included:

Electrical permit: Pulled the required permit and completed the installation to current code standards.
Dedicated 60A circuit: Installed a new 60-amp breaker for the EV charger to support robust Level 2 charging performance.
Correct wire size for load: Ran approximately 40 feet of SEU #6 (3-wire) cable to ensure proper ampacity and future-ready capacity.
Durable raceway: Installed 3/4-inch PVC conduit with the appropriate fittings and supports for a neat, protected run.
Charger connection: Connected and tested the customer-supplied EV charging equipment for safe, dependable operation.
Labeling and verification: Labeled the new circuit and verified grounding, torque, and functionality under load.

This configuration provides faster charging than a standard 120V outlet and is designed for efficiency, safety, and long-term reliability.

Code Compliance and Safety First

Every EV circuit we install is designed around the charger’s load requirements and the National Electrical Code. Using SEU #6 conductors on a 60A breaker gives the charging system the capacity it needs while helping protect the panel and wiring. Our technicians focus on clean routing, secure terminations, and proper equipment support to keep your installation both safe and serviceable.
