Maria and Adrian from Howell, NJ have been Green Sun Energy Services clients since September of 2024. A ChargePoint CPH50 went in that November, hardwired on a dedicated 60-amp circuit and fitted with the J1772 connector every non-Tesla car in North America uses. At 11.5 kW it adds about 36 miles of range an hour, which is the figure that matters more than the headline rating: a normal overnight stop refills far more than a day of driving, so the car leaves full every morning without anyone having to think about it.

EV charger questions from Howell homeowners
Do I need a permit for a home EV charger in Howell, 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.
Do I need a licensed electrician for an EV charger?
For contracted electrical installation work in New Jersey, use a properly licensed electrical contractor. The electrician should perform the load calculation, size conductors and overcurrent protection correctly, obtain required permits, and coordinate inspection.
Can an EV charger be mounted on vinyl siding?
Yes, but it should be secured to suitable structural backing and detailed so the mounting does not distort siding or allow water intrusion. The mounting method should also support repeated cable use.
