Level 2 EV Charger Installation in Matthews, NC
Touchstone Electric completed a safe, code-compliant Level 2 EV charger installation for Duke Energy - Allumia in Matthews, NC. Performed by our Charlotte branch on September 17, 2025, this project included a dedicated 60-amp circuit, proper #6 SEU conductors, and full permitting to ensure a reliable home charging setup.
Project Overview
- Location: Matthews, NC (Charlotte branch service)
- Technician: Viktor Opalko
- Charger Type: Level 2 EV charger (customer-supplied)
- Circuit: 60A standard breaker, dedicated for EV charging
- Wiring: Approximately 20 feet of #6 SEU (3-wire) for proper ampacity
- Permitting: Electrical permit filed with the county
Positioning the charger adjacent to the main electrical panel minimized conduit runs and voltage drop, resulting in a neat, efficient, and future-ready installation.
What We Did
- Installed the customer-provided Level 2 charger next to the existing panel.
- Added a dedicated 60-amp breaker sized to the manufacturer’s specifications and circuit load.
- Pulled #6 SEU conductors (3-wire) for a robust, low-resistance feeder suitable for a 60-amp EV circuit.
- Completed terminations and labeling for clear identification and future serviceability.
- Filed the electrical permit and coordinated documentation for a compliant installation.
Whether a charger requires a hardwired connection or a dedicated receptacle, we follow the manufacturer’s installation guidelines and local code requirements to protect the equipment and your home’s electrical system.
Code Compliance and Safety
Level 2 charging draws significant continuous load. Our team sizes conductors and overcurrent protection based on the charger’s nameplate rating and applicable code requirements. The dedicated 60-amp circuit and #6 SEU wiring help deliver steady charging performance while supporting long-term reliability.
