Outdoor Level 2 EV Charger Installation in Winston-Salem, NC
Touchstone Electric’s Charlotte team (Matthews branch) completed a professional outdoor Level 2 EV charger installation for Michele Meeks in Winston-Salem, NC. Led by technician Danny Bishop, the project was finished on December 10, 2025, and designed for safe, reliable charging at the end of the customer’s driveway.
The homeowner supplied the charger, and our team delivered a turnkey wiring and conduit solution, including permits, trenching, and a dedicated breaker, to support dependable Level 2 charging performance.
Project Highlights
- Permit filed: We secured the required electrical permit with the county for this EV charging circuit.
- Exterior routing: Installed an exterior PVC junction box near the deck and ran 1" PVC conduit neatly along the deck line to the driveway.
- Driveway post location: Wiring was routed to a charger location at the end of the driveway, coordinated with the homeowner’s new 4x6 post.
- Professional trenching: Completed approximately 40 feet of trenching at an 18–24" depth for code-compliant underground conduit.
- Heavy-duty conductors: Pulled #6 gauge wiring (THHN/SEU as applicable) sized for the dedicated EV circuit.
- Dedicated protection: Installed a 50A breaker for the Level 2 charger and labeled the circuit.
- Two-visit coordination: An initial visit confirmed site readiness; we returned to complete the install after the post was set and access prepared.
- Final testing: Performed function checks and safety verifications upon completion.
Built for the Outdoors
This installation was purpose-built for exterior conditions. Conduit, fittings, and junction components were selected for outdoor durability, and the underground run was placed at the proper depth for protection and longevity. The result is a clean, low-profile pathway from the panel to the driveway post—ideal for daily charging without cluttering the home’s exterior.
Permits, Codes, and Safety
We handled the electrical permit for this project and installed the circuit in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local requirements. For trenching, we follow safe-dig practices and advise an 811 utility locate before excavation. Please note: any non-electrical approvals (such as historic, environmental, or zoning) vary by jurisdiction and are not included unless specifically arranged.
What This Means for the Homeowner
- Convenient Level 2 charging at the driveway post
- Clean conduit routing along the deck and underground to the charger
- Dedicated, properly sized circuit with a 50A breaker
- Professional permitting and inspection process
