What we did on this project
- Pulled the electrical permit so the project could be completed to local requirements and ready for inspection.
- Installed the customer-supplied Level 2 charger on a dedicated 240V circuit for reliable, fast home charging.
- Added a 50A standard breaker in the service panel to safely feed the EV charger circuit.
