Level 2 EV Charger Outlet Installation in Charlotte, NC
Touchstone Electric’s Charlotte branch (based in Matthews) completed a professional Level 2 EV charging setup for a Charlotte, NC residence on January 29, 2026. Our technician, Danny Bishop, installed a dedicated outdoor NEMA 14-50 receptacle for convenient, reliable charging at the garage.
This project was completed for Duke Energy - Allumia and was designed to be both permit-ready and rebate-ready, helping the customer streamline utility incentives while ensuring a safe and code-compliant installation.
What We Installed
- NEMA 14-50 outdoor receptacle positioned near the garage for easy EV charging access.
- Dedicated 50A GFCI breaker to protect the 240V circuit and meet current code for exterior EV outlets.
- 6/3 NM-B wiring routed cleanly to the new circuit location for dependable power delivery.
- Weatherproof electrical box and in-use cover for a safe, durable installation in outdoor conditions.
- Panel labeling and functional testing to verify correct voltage, polarity, and GFCI operation.
The result is a robust, Level 2–ready charging point that supports common portable EVSE units with a NEMA 14-50 plug, giving the homeowner faster, more convenient daily charging without the wait times of standard 120V outlets.
Code-Compliant, Weather-Ready, and Built to Last
Outdoor charging requires attention to safety and longevity. Our team installed the receptacle in a weather-rated box with an in-use cover and protected the circuit with a GFCI breaker for added safety. All work was performed to current electrical code and best practices, with neat routing, secure terminations, and a clean finish that looks good and performs reliably.
Permit and Duke Energy Rebate Support
We handled the local electrical permit for this project, making the installation inspection-ready. In addition, we prepared the job to be rebate-ready with Duke Energy, helping the customer pursue eligible utility incentives. While final eligibility and amounts are determined by the utility, our process and documentation help homeowners start on the right foot.
