Project overview
Touchstone Electric’s Charlotte team, operating from our Matthews branch, completed a professional Level 2 EV charging station installation for Duke Energy - Allumia in Charlotte, NC on January 27, 2025. Lead electrician Grady Houston delivered a turnkey solution that included a dedicated 240V circuit, SEU #6 wiring, a properly sized breaker, and complete permit support to help ensure eligibility for the Duke Energy rebate.
This service page outlines the scope of work, safety measures, and program assistance we provided so homeowners and property managers in Charlotte know what to expect from a code-compliant Level 2 EV charger installation.
What we installed
- Dedicated 60A circuit: A new 60-amp breaker was added to support Level 2 charging capacity per the charger manufacturer’s specifications and applicable code.
- SEU #6 (3-wire) feeder: We routed SEU #6 wiring from the main panel to the charger location to provide a reliable, appropriately sized electrical path.
- Protective raceway and terminations: Conduit and fittings were installed where required for physical protection and clean, professional routing.
- Specialty breaker to match the panel: A panel-specific breaker was used to maintain listing compliance and ensure safe performance.
- Customer-supplied EV charger setup: The charger was installed and either hardwired or connected to a dedicated receptacle as specified by the manufacturer.
- Labeling and verification: The new circuit was clearly labeled and tested for correct voltage, polarity, and ground-fault protection where required.
The result is a neat, dependable installation that supports faster charging compared to standard Level 1 options, while protecting your electrical system and EVSE investment.
