Adding an EV charger or a generator in Holly Springs
A Level 2 charger in Holly Springs is a new 240 volt circuit, so it is permitted with Holly Springs Development Services and inspected by Holly Springs building inspections. The first question is whether the service has room for it; if it does not, the options are a lower charger setting, a load management device, or a service upgrade coordinated with Duke Energy Progress.
A generator wired into the house in Holly Springs needs a transfer switch or listed interlock, and that work is permitted the same way.
