Level 2 EV Charger Installation in Raleigh, NC
Touchstone Electric’s Raleigh team completed a professional Level 2 EV charger install for Duke Energy - Allumia on March 5, 2026. This project was handled by our licensed technicians, Gustavo Peralta and Matthew Castello, and included permitting, a dedicated 240V circuit, and clean surface-mount conduit to deliver fast and reliable charging at home.
After completion, the customer praised our work with a positive review, recognizing the care, code compliance, and neat finish provided by our Raleigh branch.
What We Installed
To ensure safe, dependable Level 2 charging, our electricians designed and installed a dedicated circuit tailored to the charger’s requirements and the home’s electrical capacity. Key installation details included:
- 50A GFCI breaker for enhanced protection and code-compliant operation on a 240V Level 2 circuit.
- THHN #6 conductors pulled to support the high-demand load and provide a robust, future-ready installation.
- 3/4" EMT conduit (surface-mounted) with secure supports, fittings, and connectors for a clean, durable pathway.
- Exterior wall penetration to route wiring directly to the charger’s location, sealed for weather resistance.
- Customer-supplied EV charger integration, with proper terminations and functionality verification.
The result is a neat, efficient Level 2 charging setup that helps reduce charge times compared to standard 120V outlets—ideal for daily driving in Raleigh.
Permitting and Safety First
Our Raleigh branch secured the required permit and followed applicable electrical codes and manufacturer guidelines throughout the installation. From load calculations and breaker selection to conductor sizing and GFCI protection, every step was completed with homeowner safety and long-term reliability in mind.
We also label the new circuit clearly at the panel and ensure all penetrations are sealed and supported to withstand everyday use and local weather conditions.
