Level 2 EV Charger Installation in Charlotte, NC
On May 8, 2024, Touchstone Electric’s Charlotte team (Matthews branch) completed a professional Level 2 EV charger setup for homeowner Larry Hunt in Charlotte, NC. Lead technician Christian Cedillos installed a dedicated 50-amp circuit with 6/3 NM-B Romex and a NEMA 14-50 outlet to power a Level 2 charger safely and reliably.
Project Overview
To support fast, dependable EV charging, we added a new 240V circuit from the main panel to the charging location, handled permitting, and performed careful wire fishing through finished areas. We also completed panel updates to ensure there was adequate capacity and clean organization for the new load.
What We Installed and Completed
- 50A two-pole breaker dedicated to the EV charging circuit.
- Approximately 55 feet of 6/3 NM-B Romex for a 50-amp, 240V run suitable for high-power EV charging.
- NEMA 14-50 outlet with cover, providing a standard receptacle option for many Level 2 chargers.
- Electrical permit filing and inspections coordinated with the local authority for code-compliant work.
- Wire fishing (about 55 feet) through hard-to-reach areas to preserve finished walls and ceilings.
- Confined space labor to safely navigate tight, difficult-access areas.
- Selective ceiling access: Removed and reinstalled existing can lights to create a clean path for the new circuit, minimizing visible patchwork.
- Panel updates: Added and organized breakers, including tandem options where code-allowed, to optimize space and support the new load.
- Additional general-circuit work: Installed a standard outlet and approximately 55 feet of 12/2 NM-B on a 20-amp breaker as part of the panel and circuit updates.
- Extra hands on site: An additional wireman assisted to keep the project efficient and neat.
Clean, Code‑Compliant Results
We secured the electrical permit, followed local code requirements, and coordinated inspections so the homeowner can charge with confidence. The dedicated 50A circuit and NEMA 14-50 receptacle provide the power and flexibility most Level 2 EV chargers need, while tidy routing and careful fishing help preserve the home’s finishes.
