Raleigh Level 2 EV Charger Install with New 50A Circuit

Level 2 EV Charger Install in Raleigh, NC

Touchstone Electric’s Raleigh team completed a permitted, code-compliant Level 2 EV charger installation for Karen Berney on May 21, 2026. Led by technician Gustavo Peralta, the project included a new dedicated 50A circuit, a clean conduit run, and a professional appliance hookup for the customer-supplied charger. This service page highlights the scope of work and what homeowners in Raleigh can expect when choosing us for reliable, safe EV charging.

What We Installed

• 3/4 in PVC Conduit (approx. 10 ft): Installed with the appropriate connectors and fittings to protect the conductors and provide a neat, durable pathway to the charging location.
• #6 THHN Conductors (approx. 15 ft): Properly sized copper conductors pulled for a high-demand Level 2 charging circuit.
• 50A Breaker: A dedicated 2-pole 50-amp breaker added at the service panel to supply the charger safely and reliably.
• Appliance Hookup – Level 2 EV Charger: Customer-supplied charger connected to the new circuit during the same visit; includes either a dedicated receptacle or a direct hardwire connection as appropriate for the equipment.
• Electrical Permit: Electrical permit filed with the local authority to ensure the work meets applicable codes and local requirements.

Our Raleigh electricians verified panel space, routed the conduit for a clean appearance, secured terminations, and clearly labeled the new circuit so the homeowner can identify and operate the charger with confidence.

Why a 50A Level 2 Circuit?

Level 2 EV charging operates on 240V and offers significantly faster charging than standard household outlets. Many residential EV chargers pair well with a 50-amp circuit, allowing for robust charging performance while maintaining safe operating margins. The #6 THHN conductors and 3/4 in PVC conduit used on this Raleigh project provide a dependable, scalable setup for everyday home charging needs.

Permitted, Code-Compliant Work

For this installation in Raleigh, we filed the electrical permit and completed the work in accordance with current electrical code and local amendments. From proper overcurrent protection to conductor sizing and equipment connections, our goal is to deliver a safe, durable installation that supports the homeowner’s EV for years to come.
