Level 2 EV Charger Outlet Installation in Asheville, NC
Touchstone Electric’s Asheville team completed a professional Level 2 EV charger outlet installation for Duke Energy - Allumia in Asheville, NC. Led by technician Aaron Smith, this project delivered a safe, code-compliant 240V charging solution with a clean, surface‑mounted conduit run to an outdoor plug. Completed on May 1, 2025, the installation is fully permitted and set up to meet Duke Energy rebate requirements.
What We Installed
For reliable Level 2 charging performance and long-term safety, our team designed and installed a dedicated 240V circuit and weather-appropriate materials:
- 50A GFCI breaker dedicated to the EV charging outlet for enhanced protection outdoors.
- Surface‑mounted 3/4″ EMT conduit (approximately 40 ft) for a neat, durable path from inside to the exterior outlet location.
- THHN #6 conductors (approximately 35 ft) pulled in EMT to support higher‑demand Level 2 charging.
- NM‑B 6/3 cable (approximately 10 ft) for the interior portion of the run where appropriate.
- 3/4″ liquidtight/flex conduit (approximately 6 ft) at the exterior segment for added weather resistance.
- Outdoor EV receptacle installed for a customer‑supplied Level 2 charger.
- Electrical permit filed with the local authority—inspection‑ready.
This configuration supports popular Level 2 EVSE units that operate on a 50A circuit, delivering faster, dependable home charging.
Code Compliance, Safety, and Permitting
Level 2 charging requires correct circuit sizing, GFCI protection in applicable locations, and proper wiring methods. Our Asheville electricians follow current NEC and local code requirements, using EMT and THHN #6 conductors for a robust installation and GFCI protection for outdoor safety. Touchstone Electric secured the electrical permit and handled the documentation so the project meets inspection standards.
