Scope of Work Completed
- Electrical permitting: Pulled and filed the required electrical permit for the project in Raleigh, NC.

- Dedicated circuit: Added a new 60-amp breaker in the service panel to supply the charger on its own dedicated circuit.
- Feeder wiring: Installed THHN #4 copper conductors as the feeder wiring to the charger location.
- Testing and labeling: Verified correct operation, polarity, and breaker labeling for straightforward identification.
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.
