EV Charger Installation Overview in Lugoff, SC
Touchstone Electric’s Columbia branch completed a professional Tesla Universal Wall Connector installation for homeowner Katrina Carr in Lugoff, SC. On 2026-07-08, our licensed technicians, Johann Fischer and Tyler Harris, delivered a clean, code-compliant setup designed for reliable Level 2 EV charging on a dedicated 60-amp circuit.
The charger was positioned near the home’s main garage panel to minimize wire runs, reduce voltage drop, and maintain a tidy appearance. The project was fully permitted and completed in accordance with current electrical codes and manufacturer specifications.
What We Installed
- Tesla Universal Wall Connector mounted close to the main panel in the garage for optimal cable management and charging convenience.
- New dedicated 60A circuit with a properly sized breaker to support continuous Level 2 charging current.
- Junction box beneath the panel with SEU cable routed through the wall into the panel for a neat transition and secure terminations.
- 3/4-inch PVC conduit from the junction box to the charger location, providing a durable, code-compliant pathway.
- #6 THHN conductors pulled in the conduit to handle the load safely and meet NEC ampacity requirements.
- Labeling and torque verification at all connections, with breaker and charger settings configured for a 60A branch circuit.
- Startup testing to confirm correct voltage, secure communication with the charger, and proper operation before handoff.
Why This Setup Works for Tesla Charging
A dedicated 60-amp circuit allows the Tesla Wall Connector to deliver robust Level 2 charging performance for faster, more convenient overnight charging. By keeping the unit near the garage panel and using appropriately sized conductors in PVC conduit, we achieved an efficient layout that’s both safe and aesthetically clean. This configuration supports dependable daily charging without overloading existing circuits.
Code-Compliant, Permit-Ready Workmanship
Every component of this installation was completed to current electrical code standards. Conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and continuous-load considerations were all addressed to meet NEC requirements. The conduit routing and terminations were planned for serviceability and longevity, and the entire project was permitted to ensure the homeowner benefits from documented, inspected work.
