Ben from Summit, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since September of 2023. He called in late September and the charger was in and working within two weeks, a ChargePoint J1772 unit on a dedicated 60-amp circuit. The 60-amp feed is the part that matters: it is the difference between a car that is ready in the morning and one that is still thinking about it. Summit is in Union County, at the northern end of where our electricians work.

Great experience end to end. Glen is experienced and thoughtful about the whole thing. And the installer did an excellent job pulling wires and doing a clean job mounting the charger on my garage wall.
Green Sun Energy Services replied
Thank you, Ben. A ChargePoint on a dedicated 60-amp circuit in Summit means the run has to be pulled properly and the unit mounted so it is still tidy in ten years. Both of those are craft rather than product. Glad the finish on the garage wall was worth the care, and thank you for the review.
EV charger questions from Summit homeowners
What electrical code applies to EV chargers in Summit, NJ?
EV charging equipment is covered primarily by NEC Article 625 along with the general rules for circuits, grounding, overcurrent protection, wiring methods, and equipment installation.
Can summer heat reduce charging speed?
Vehicles and chargers may reduce power when components are hot. Shaded placement, proper clearances, and equipment rated for outdoor temperatures help maintain performance.
Can I lock my outdoor charger so neighbors cannot use it?
Many smart chargers support app-based access controls or schedules. Physical placement and connector locking can also help, but the feature set varies by model.
