Our Charlotte branch team, based in Matthews, completed a homeowner-supplied Tesla Wall Connector installation for 48-amp Level 2 EV charging in Charlotte, NC. Led by technician Danny Bishop, the charger was hardwired near the home’s main electrical panel to deliver reliable, efficient charging with a clean, code-compliant setup. Completed on December 13, 2024, this project focused on safe capacity, neat routing, and a seamless experience from permitting to final testing.
What we installed and why it matters
- Hardwired Tesla Wall Connector (48A charging) – Configured for dependable daily charging without the limitations of a receptacle-based setup.
- New 60A breaker – A 60-amp circuit supports the Wall Connector’s 48-amp charging output in line with manufacturer guidance and electrical code for continuous loads.
- 6 AWG SEU cable (3-wire) – Heavy-duty feeder wire sized for a 60-amp EV charging circuit, offering low voltage drop for consistent performance.
- Electrical permit filed with the county – We handled the electrical permit to ensure the work is inspected and documented for safety and peace of mind.
This combination provides fast Level 2 charging that’s well-suited to daily commuting and overnight top-ups, while protecting the home’s electrical system and the EVSE.
Installation details near the main panel
The Wall Connector was mounted just below the main electrical panel. This location allows for a short, efficient feeder run, minimizes wall penetrations, and provides excellent serviceability for the homeowner. A tidy conduit path and proper support hardware keep the installation secure and professional-looking.
After energizing the new 60A circuit, we verified torque on all terminations, confirmed correct breaker labeling, and tested the charger for proper operation at the 48A setting. The result is a stable, convenient charging station that’s ready for everyday use.
Permitting, inspection, and code compliance
As part of our EV charging service in Charlotte, we secured the required electrical permit and prepared the installation for inspection. Electrical permits are included; however, jurisdictions may require other non-electrical permits depending on property type or location. If additional permits beyond electrical are needed (such as zoning or historic approvals), they are not included and may require separate handling.
Our team follows manufacturer specifications and current electrical code practices for conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and mounting clearances to ensure safe operation and a smooth inspection.
A smooth experience for the homeowner
The homeowner, Ganesh Bhattarai, chose to provide the Tesla charger, and we handled the rest—from breaker sizing and wire selection to permitting and final testing. We appreciate the positive review shared following this project, reflecting our commitment to clear communication, punctuality, and neat workmanship.
