EV CHARGER AND WHOLE-HOME SURGE
Touchstone Electric installed EV charger infrastructure and whole-home surge protection for Todd Cherner in Charlotte, NC. Matt routed conduit and #4 THHN wire to the EV charger, verified panel capacity, and integrated the surge protection system at the main electrical panel.
- Conduit and #4 THHN wire routed for EV charging
- Panel capacity verified for fast charging requirements
- Whole-home surge protection integrated at the main panel
- Homeowner received a clear explanation and free estimate
EV charging and surge protection both rely on the panel being evaluated carefully. The charger needs the right amperage and wiring path, while surge protection needs proper panel integration. This work connects directly to EV charging installation and panel-level protection.

EV charging is a panel-level conversation
Fast home charging depends on conductor sizing, conduit route, breaker capacity, panel condition, and load planning. Adding surge protection at the same time helps protect the equipment and other connected devices.

Fast Charging Path
Conduit and #4 THHN wire were routed to support fast EV charging at home.
Panel Capacity
Matt verified that the electrical panel could support the charger requirements.
Surge Protection
A whole-home surge protection unit was integrated into the main panel to protect connected loads.
Clear Estimate
Todd noted that Matt explained the details and provided a free estimate after the visit.

- 1Assess the home's panel capacity and charging requirements.
- 2Plan conduit and #4 THHN routing to the EV charger location.
- 3Install and terminate the charger wiring for reliable fast charging.
- 4Integrate whole-home surge protection at the main electrical panel.
The source project combined high-capacity EV charger installation with whole-home surge protection. Todd Cherner noted that Matt was thorough, explained the work, and provided a free estimate a few days later.
If you are planning a home EV charger, Touchstone Electric can review panel capacity, wiring route, breaker needs, and surge protection options together. Related work may include panel upgrades when the home needs more capacity before charging equipment is added.
