Level 2 EV Charger Installation Completed in Greenville, SC
Touchstone Electric recently completed a professional Level 2 EV charger installation for Duke Energy - Allumia in Greenville, South Carolina. This project was designed to provide a dedicated, reliable charging connection for a customer-supplied hardwired Autel EV charger.
Level 2 charging is an excellent home solution for electric vehicle owners who want faster, more convenient charging than a standard household outlet can provide. A properly sized dedicated circuit helps support dependable day-to-day charging while protecting the electrical system from overloads.
Dedicated 60-Amp Circuit for a Hardwired Charger
The home’s Siemens main electrical panel is located in the laundry room. Our technician, Tyler Harris, installed the electrical components needed to support the hardwired charging equipment safely and efficiently.
Because the homeowner provided the Autel charger, Touchstone Electric focused on the infrastructure required for installation. The completed work included a dedicated 60-amp breaker, appropriately sized electrical wiring, and the necessary connection work for the hardwired EV charger setup.

Why Professional EV Charger Installation Matters
EV chargers place a substantial and continuous electrical load on a home’s electrical system. Professional installation helps ensure the breaker, conductor sizing, connections, and charging equipment are matched appropriately for the intended application. A dedicated circuit also helps prevent conflicts with other appliances and electrical loads in the home.
Hardwired Level 2 chargers can be a practical choice for homeowners who want a permanent charging solution. Unlike portable charging equipment plugged into a standard outlet, a hardwired unit is directly connected to its dedicated branch circuit. This setup can provide a clean, durable charging station for regular electric vehicle use.
