Level 2 EV Charger Outlet Installed in Waxhaw, NC
Our Matthews-based Charlotte team completed a clean, code-compliant Level 2 EV charging outlet installation for Duke Energy - Allumia in Waxhaw, NC. On August 19, 2024, technician Jamie Fountain installed a dedicated 50-amp circuit with a NEMA 14-50 receptacle to support reliable, efficient home EV charging.
We handled the entire process—from permitting to final inspection—so the homeowner received a safe, verified setup ready for daily charging.
What We Installed
- Dedicated 50-amp breaker on the service panel for a continuous 240V Level 2 charging circuit.
- NEMA 14-50 outlet placed directly under the panel for convenient, space-efficient access to the charging location.
- Properly sized copper wiring (6/3 NM-B) to meet load and code requirements for high-power EV charging.
- Professional wire fishing to route conductors cleanly with minimal disruption to finished surfaces.
- Electrical permit and inspections filed and passed to verify safety and compliance.
- Labeling and function checks to confirm correct voltage and proper receptacle operation.
This configuration supports a wide range of Level 2 EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) that plug into a NEMA 14-50. It’s a great choice for homeowners who want flexibility today and room to adapt in the future.
Why Choose a NEMA 14-50 for Level 2 EV Charging?
- Fast charging at home: A 50-amp circuit can support robust Level 2 charging when used with a compatible EVSE.
- Plug-in flexibility: Easily swap or upgrade portable and wall-mount EV chargers without rewiring.
- Broad compatibility: Works with many popular EV models and manufacturer-provided mobile chargers.
- Neat, accessible placement: Locating the receptacle near the panel streamlines the installation and keeps the setup tidy.
Code Compliance and Safety
Every EV charging installation we complete is designed and constructed to meet local and national electrical codes. For this Waxhaw project, our team:
- Filed the electrical permit with the county and coordinated required inspections.
- Installed a dedicated 50-amp circuit with properly rated components and terminations.
- Verified correct polarity, grounding, and voltage before placing the outlet into service.
The result is a safe, reliable, and inspection-approved charging solution you can count on every day.
