Project Overview

To ensure safe and reliable charging performance, our team installed a new 240V, 60A dedicated circuit for the customer’s Level 2 EV charger. We pulled the electrical permit, ran EMT conduit with #6 wiring to support the higher load, and upgraded the panel with the appropriate overcurrent protection.

Scope of Work Completed

Electrical permit: Filed and secured the electrical permit with the local authority for full code compliance.
Charger installation: Installed the customer-supplied Level 2 EV charger on a dedicated circuit for faster, dependable home charging.
New 60A breaker: Added a 60A breaker in the service panel to properly protect the EV charging circuit.
Conduit and conductors: Ran approximately 30 feet of 3/4-inch EMT conduit with #6 conductors to support a 60A load and provide a neat, durable pathway.
Panel optimization: Installed two 15A tandem breakers for standard branch circuits, ensuring organized panel space and clean labeling.

Note: We include the electrical permit for EV charger projects. If a jurisdiction requires additional non-electrical permits, those are handled separately and we advise homeowners on next steps.
