- Feeder wiring: Installed THHN #4 copper conductors as the feeder wiring to the charger location.

All workmanship was performed by our Raleigh team, with an emphasis on safety, neat routing, and compliance with current electrical standards.
Why a 60A Circuit for Level 2 Charging?
Many Level 2 EV chargers benefit from a 60-amp circuit because it supports robust charging performance while aligning with continuous-load requirements. In typical residential applications, this capacity helps ensure the charger has sufficient headroom for sustained operation, reduces the risk of nuisance tripping, and supports a wide range of current EV models and future upgrades.
Using appropriately sized copper conductors (THHN) provides a durable, efficient feeder path to the charger, further contributing to consistent charging and long-term reliability.
