Call 855-502-2244Project overview
Touchstone Electric’s Raleigh team completed a Level 2 EV charger outlet installation in a residential garage in Durham, NC. On September 10, 2025, licensed electrician Will Cruz installed a proper 240‑volt outlet to support the homeowner’s customer-supplied EV charging equipment, handled the electrical permit with the county, and delivered a code-compliant, inspection-ready result.
This project helps the homeowner charge faster and more conveniently at home, while meeting local code requirements and providing the documentation needed for potential utility incentives.
What we installed
For Patricia Deverka’s garage, we installed a dedicated receptacle configured for Level 2 EV charging. The outlet was mounted in a practical location for daily plug-in convenience and terminated to professional standards for safe, reliable operation with the homeowner’s EV charging equipment.
Because the charger itself was customer-supplied, our scope focused on the outlet installation and ensuring it met code and manufacturer guidance for clearances, secure terminations, and proper grounding. After installation, we performed functional checks so the homeowner could begin charging with confidence.
Permitting and code compliance
We filed the electrical permit with the county and performed the work to current electrical code and local jurisdictional requirements. Our process is designed to pass inspection the first time by following best practices for garage locations, circuit protection, and receptacle placement.
Please note: every jurisdiction has different rules for different types of work. On this project, our scope included the electrical permit. If a future project requires additional non-electrical approvals (such as Historic Preservation, Environmental/Septic, Zoning, or separate trade permits), we inform homeowners of next steps and can provide pricing to process those permits when needed.
Rebate-ready documentation
Many Durham homeowners can benefit from utility incentives for home EV charging. For this job, we provided itemized documentation for the Duke Energy rebate to help streamline the homeowner’s application. Our invoices clearly separate labor, materials, and permit costs so customers have what they need when submitting for rebates or tax incentives.
If you’re planning an EV charging project, ask us about preparing documentation to support your rebate submission. We stay current on common program requirements so your paperwork is organized and ready.
