Touchstone Electric’s Matthews-based Charlotte team completed a Level 2 EV charger outlet installation for homeowner Melonie Willis in Salisbury, NC. To support faster, reliable charging, we added a new 30-amp double‑pole Square D QO breaker and ran a dedicated 240V circuit using 10/3 NM‑B wiring. While on site, we also improved crawl space visibility and safety with four new keyless light fixtures.
Completed on October 21, 2024 by technician Chris Rogers, this project delivers a clean, code‑focused setup that’s ready for a customer‑supplied electric vehicle charger.
What we installed
- 30A double‑pole Square D QO breaker: Added to provide a dedicated 240V supply for Level 2 charging and protect the circuit with the correct amperage.
- Dedicated Level 2 EV charging outlet: Installed a properly rated 240V receptacle so the homeowner can plug in a customer‑supplied EV charger.
- 50 feet of 10/3 NM‑B cable: Routed a clean, secure run from the panel to the new outlet, with careful attention to support, bend radius, and labeling.
- Four keyless light fixtures in the crawl space: Installed for brighter, safer access during maintenance and inspections.
Every component was selected and installed to align with manufacturer specifications and current electrical best practices, helping ensure dependable performance for daily charging.
Why a dedicated 30A Level 2 circuit matters
A Level 2 EV setup on a dedicated 30‑amp circuit offers significantly quicker charging than a standard 120V outlet, reducing charge times and improving convenience. A properly sized breaker, dedicated conductors, and a secure, grounded receptacle help protect equipment and maintain consistent charging speeds.
- Faster charging: Level 2 power supports shorter plug‑in windows and better daily range recovery.
- Reliability: A dedicated circuit minimizes nuisance trips and voltage drop during higher load periods.
- Safety and compliance: Correct breaker sizing, wire gauge, and terminations help safeguard the system and your home.
- Future‑readiness: A clear, labeled path from panel to outlet simplifies future charger upgrades or service.
Crawl space lighting upgrade
Dark, hard‑to‑reach areas can complicate routine maintenance. By adding four new keyless fixtures in the crawl space, we improved visibility for homeowners and service professionals. Better lighting helps reveal moisture issues, pests, or mechanical problems earlier and makes periodic inspections safer and more efficient.
