Mitch from Berkeley Heights, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since March of 2024. The charger went in that April: a hardwired ChargePoint Level 2 unit rated 11.5 kW on a dedicated 60-amp circuit, installed within ten feet of the breaker box. A permit was filed with the township and the work inspected, which is the part of an EV charger installation that separates a professional job from an extension lead – a 60-amp circuit is a substantial addition to a house’s electrical system, and it is inspected as one. A utility rebate application was submitted as part of the project.
Why Mitch chose Green Sun Energy Services
Professional home EV charging made simple, from electrical design through final inspection.

EV charger questions from Berkeley Heights homeowners
Can an EV charger share a dryer circuit?
Not by simply using both appliances at the same time on one ordinary branch circuit. Listed switching or load-sharing devices can sometimes alternate power between a dryer and EV charger when designed for that purpose.
Do I need a permit for a home EV charger in Berkeley Heights, NJ?
A new hardwired charger or new branch circuit generally requires electrical permitting and inspection under New Jersey's Uniform Construction Code. A cord-and-plug charger using an existing compatible receptacle may be treated differently, so the local electrical subcode official should be consulted for the specific installation.
Can an EV charger be installed next to the electrical meter?
Often yes, and that can reduce wiring distance, but the design must preserve required working clearances and utility access. Service equipment modifications may require utility coordination.
