• Service category: EV Charging — Level 2 EV Charger Installation
• Branch: Raleigh
• Location served: Wendell, NC
• Completion date: June 3, 2025

What We Installed

• Level 2 EV Charger (customer-supplied): Installed on a dedicated 60A circuit for reliable, high-speed home charging.
• 60A Standard Breaker: Correctly sized overcurrent protection for the EV charging load.
• #6 SEU Copper Conductors: Approximately 8 feet of properly sized wiring to support the 60-amp circuit.
• Receptacle or Hardwired Connection: Completed per the EV charger’s requirements during the same visit.
• Electrical Permit Filed: We handled the county electrical permit for this scope of work.
• Whole-Home Surge Protection System: Installed at the main panel to divert excess voltage to ground and help protect the electrical system, connected devices, and covered equipment from damaging surges.

Why This Upgrade Matters

A dedicated Level 2 EV charger lets you charge at home quickly and consistently—without overloading existing circuits. Pairing it with a whole-house surge protector helps guard against voltage spikes from lightning, power grid fluctuations, or equipment cycling, which can degrade or damage electronics and appliances over time.

Permitting and Code Compliance

Touchstone Electric filed the electrical permit for this project and completed the work to applicable electrical codes. Note: jurisdictions may require additional non-electrical permits (e.g., Historic Preservation, Environmental/Septic, Zoning, or separate subcontractor permits) depending on the property and scope. Those are not included in our electrical permit. If additional permits are ever needed, we’ll advise on what’s required and options for processing.

Warranties and Coverage

• Signature Lifetime Craftsmanship Warranty: Included on all work we performed for lasting peace of mind.
• Surge Protection Coverage: The installed device includes a manufacturer-backed $10,000 / 3-year coverage against damage to covered home appliances and systems in the unlikely event of device failure, when protected with a properly connected Boltshield SPD. Coverage is secondary to your insurance and excludes direct lightning strikes. Security systems and medical equipment are excluded. Examples of “Covered Equipment” can include washer, dryer, refrigerator, freezer, HVAC unit located inside the house, stove, wiring, outlets/switches, electrical system components, and hardwired devices like built-in microwaves, furnace, air handlers, evaporator coils, hardwired ranges, landscape lighting, and home lighting.
