Level 2 EV Charger Installation in Charlotte
Touchstone Electric’s Charlotte team completed a turnkey Level 2 EV charger installation for Duke Energy - Allumia in Charlotte. Led by technician Chris Rogers, this project delivered a dedicated 60-amp circuit to power a customer-supplied Level 2 charger—installed with a permit and set up to qualify for the Duke Energy EV rebate. Completed on August 14, 2026, the job was handled by our Charlotte branch based in Matthews and serves as a great example of safe, efficient home EV charging done right.
What We Installed
- 60A Square D breaker added to the customer’s panel to provide a dedicated charging circuit.
- #6 stranded conductors (approximately 25 ft) sized for a 60-amp EV charging load.
- #6 SEU cable (approximately 10 ft) to complete the run as needed for the final connection.
- 3/4" PVC conduit (approximately 25 ft) with fittings and supports for a protected, tidy cable pathway.
- Installation of customer-supplied Level 2 charger—mounted, connected, and made ready for charging.
- Permit obtained and documentation coordinated for the Duke Energy EV rebate.
This configuration provides robust, reliable power delivery for faster Level 2 charging while maintaining a clean, professional appearance with properly supported conduit and neatly routed wiring.
Why a 60-Amp Circuit for Level 2 Charging?
A dedicated 60-amp circuit allows many Level 2 chargers to operate at up to 48 amps continuous output, offering significantly faster at-home charging compared to lower-amperage circuits. It’s a future-ready choice that supports overnight refueling for most EVs and helps minimize charging time, especially for larger battery packs.
Using heavy-gauge conductors and quality components—like the Square D breaker installed on this project—supports dependable performance and long-term safety for daily charging.
