Project overview
Our Charlotte branch completed a Level 2 EV charger outlet installation for Duke Energy - Allumia in Charlotte, NC. Led by technician Danny Bishop, this job was finished on November 17, 2025, and delivered a clean, code-compliant 50-amp charging solution positioned directly below the electrical panel for convenient access and optimal performance.
Whether you charge overnight or need faster daytime top-offs, a dedicated 240V Level 2 outlet significantly reduces charging time compared to standard household outlets. This installation was permitted and inspection-ready, and was completed to qualify for a Duke Energy rebate based on program eligibility.
What we installed
- Dedicated 50-amp, 240V circuit sized to support Level 2 EV charging loads.
- New 50A breaker added to the panel, with proper labeling and torqueing per code.
- 6/3 copper NM-B wiring routed with neat terminations and secure fastening. Conduit was used where required for protection and code compliance.
- 50-amp EV charging outlet mounted directly below the panel for a short, efficient run and a tidy finish.
- Permitting and inspection handled by our team to meet local and state electrical codes.
This configuration supports most Level 2 EV charging stations that plug into a 50-amp receptacle, providing reliable power for daily charging needs.
