Residential Level 2 EV Charger Installation in Charlotte, NC

Touchstone Electric’s Charlotte team completed a professional Level 2 EV charger installation for a local homeowner, delivering faster at-home charging with a clean, code-compliant setup. The project was managed by our Matthews-based Charlotte branch and handled by our technician, Wyatt Barnes, on December 24, 2024.

This job focused on adding a dedicated 240V charging circuit so the homeowner can reliably charge their EV overnight with the safety and performance that Level 2 systems provide.

What We Installed

Dedicated Level 2 charging circuit designed for dependable overnight charging.
50A breaker to support the Level 2 load and future-ready capacity.
#6 THHN conductors sized to support the circuit amperage and reduce voltage drop.
3/4-inch EMT conduit for a durable, neat, and code-compliant surface mount run.
Connection to customer-supplied charging equipment (hardwired or receptacle as appropriate for the EVSE).
Panel labeling and final functionality checks to verify safe operation.

Every material and method was selected to meet current electrical code requirements and the equipment manufacturer’s specifications, helping ensure long-term safety and reliability.

Permitting and Duke Energy Rebate Support

For this Charlotte installation, our team handled all permitting and coordinated the utility rebate process. We pulled the required permit and completed the documentation needed for the Duke Energy Allumia program, helping the homeowner streamline eligibility and maximize potential incentives.

Our process reduces paperwork headaches for homeowners: we take care of the permit, provide the documentation your utility requires, and ensure the installation aligns with program guidelines for a smooth rebate experience.

Faster charging at home compared to Level 1 (120V) charging.
Convenient overnight top-offs so the vehicle is ready each morning.
Future-ready capacity with a properly sized circuit and quality materials.
