Mark from Hazlet, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since September of 2024. The charger went in on 15 November: a hardwired ChargePoint Level 2 unit rated 11.5 kW on a dedicated 60-amp circuit. The load calculation put the minimum service at 108 amps against the 150-amp supply the house already had, so the circuit went in without the panel being touched. The township permit came back at the start of November and the inspection passed in December – roughly seven weeks from contract to a signed-off installation, most of it spent waiting on paperwork rather than on the work itself. A utility rebate application was submitted as part of the job.

EV charger questions from Hazlet homeowners
Will cold Hazlet, NJ winters slow EV charging?
Cold temperatures can reduce battery efficiency and charging speed, particularly when the battery is very cold. Preconditioning and charging while the vehicle is still warm can improve winter performance.
Can I install two Level 2 chargers at home?
Yes, but the service, panel, branch circuits, and load-management strategy must support them. For two-EV households, power-sharing chargers can often provide excellent overnight charging without doubling the peak electrical demand.
Does a bigger charger always charge the car faster?
No. Charging speed is limited by whichever part of the chain has the least capacity: the charging equipment, the branch circuit, the electrical service or the vehicle's onboard charger. Installing a 48-amp charger does not make a car with a 32-amp onboard charger accept 48 amps.
