Level 2 EV Charger Installation in Charlotte, NC

Touchstone Electric completed a professional Level 2 EV charger installation with a dedicated 60-amp circuit for Duke Energy - Allumia in Charlotte, NC. On August 13, 2024, our Charlotte branch, based out of Matthews, dispatched technician Ben Lively to handle the full scope—power, wiring, device connection, permitting, and inspection coordination—so charging at home is fast, safe, and reliable.

What We Completed

Permit and inspection: We secured the electrical permit and coordinated the inspection with the local authority.
60-amp breaker install: Installed and labeled a dedicated 60A, 240V circuit for the Level 2 EV charging equipment.
#4 conductor wiring: Supplied and ran properly sized #4 NM-B cable to support the continuous load of a Level 2 charger.
Professional wire routing: Fishing techniques were used to route wiring through finished areas while maintaining a clean, code-compliant path.
Customer-supplied charger: Mounted and connected the owner’s Level 2 EVSE per manufacturer specifications (hardwired or receptacle connection as required by the unit).
Testing and verification: Completed startup checks and verified correct operation on the new 60A branch circuit.

This turnkey approach ensures your charger is installed to code, labeled for safety, and ready for everyday use.

Why a 60-Amp Circuit for Level 2 EV Charging?

Many Level 2 chargers support charging at up to 48 amps continuous. Electrical codes typically require circuits to be sized for continuous loads, which is why a 60-amp breaker with appropriately sized conductors is a common and future-ready choice. Our team sizes the circuit to the charger’s specifications and local code requirements for safe, efficient charging.

Duke Energy Rebate Assistance

To help maximize savings, our Charlotte team provided Duke Energy rebate assistance for this project. We guide you through the utility incentive process and provide the documentation you need so you can apply for available rebates tied to your new Level 2 EV charger installation.

Code Compliance and Safety First

Dedicated 240V circuit: Prevents nuisance tripping and ensures stable charging performance.
