Level 2 EV Charger Installation Completed in Asheville
Touchstone Electric completed a Level 2 EV charger installation for Duke Energy - Allumia in Asheville, NC. Our team provided the electrical infrastructure needed to support convenient at-home electric vehicle charging, including a dedicated circuit, new breaker, wiring, PVC conduit, and required permitting.
Level 2 charging equipment can provide a practical charging solution for homeowners who want faster charging capability than a standard household outlet can typically provide. A professionally installed dedicated circuit helps ensure the charger is supplied with the appropriate electrical capacity and installed with careful attention to the existing electrical system.

This project involved installation work for a customer-supplied EV charger. The Touchstone Electric team evaluated the installation needs and completed the electrical components necessary to serve the charging equipment.
- Installed a dedicated 60-amp breaker for the EV charging circuit
- Ran approximately 30 feet of 6/3 NM-B wiring
- Installed approximately 25 feet of 3/4-inch PVC conduit and applicable fittings
- Completed the connection work for the customer-supplied Level 2 EV charger

The installation was completed by Reuben Jansen Von Rensburg, Frank Fragale, Alec Saikal, and Aaron Smith. Their work helped provide a dedicated charging setup designed for the home’s EV charging needs.
Why Dedicated EV Charger Circuits Matter
Electric vehicle charging equipment draws substantial electrical load over extended periods. For that reason, a Level 2 charger should be connected through properly selected electrical equipment and installed according to applicable requirements. A dedicated breaker, appropriately sized wiring, secure conduit routing, and correct terminations all contribute to a dependable charging setup.
Professional installation also helps identify factors that may affect the project, such as the location of the electrical panel, the distance to the charger location, routing requirements, and permitting needs. At Touchstone Electric, our electricians approach every EV charging project with attention to safety, functionality, and the details of the specific property.
EV Charger Permitting in Asheville, NC
Electrical permits are an important part of many Level 2 EV charger installations. Permitting helps verify that electrical work is documented and subject to the applicable inspection process. For this Asheville project, permit-related work was included as part of the completed installation.
Whether a charger is being installed in a garage, carport, driveway area, or another suitable location, the electrical pathway and equipment must be planned around the property’s layout. Proper routing and protection of wiring are especially important when conduit is needed to create a clean, durable installation.
