Boris from Plainsboro, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since May of 2024. The charger went in that September: a hardwired ChargePoint Level 2 unit with a J1772 connector rated 11.5 kW, on a dedicated 60-amp circuit. The load calculation put the minimum service at 121 amps against the 200-amp supply the house already had, so the circuit went in without the panel being touched. A workmanship warranty visit followed a fortnight after installation and was completed the same week it was raised – the part of a warranty that matters is not the wording but whether anybody turns up, and here somebody did. A permit was filed with Plainsboro and a utility rebate application submitted as part of the job.

EV charger questions from Plainsboro homeowners
Can lightning damage an EV charger?
Yes. Chargers contain power electronics and communication components that can be damaged by surges. Proper grounding, bonding, and surge protection reduce risk but cannot eliminate all lightning damage.
What is a ChargePoint Home Flex?
A Wi-Fi connected Level 2 residential charger with an adjustable output. Current Home Flex equipment can be configured for 16, 24, 32, 40, 48 or 50 amps depending on how it is installed, which is what makes it useful on a house whose electrical service cannot support the highest setting.
What should a Plainsboro homeowner look for in an EV charger installer?
One that treats the charger, the car, the electrical service, the permit and any utility programme as a single system rather than fitting a 60-amp breaker because the charger will take one. That means the household's actual daily driving, what the vehicle's onboard charger accepts, the connector, the service rating, a proper load calculation, the capacity left in the panel, Article 625 and the manufacturer's installation instructions, the correct breaker and conductor sizes, hardwired or plug-in, indoor or outdoor, the municipal permit and final inspection, commissioning and network setup, whatever incentives are open at the time, off-peak charging, how it interacts with solar or back-up power if the house has either, and the second car that may arrive later. The question worth asking is which charging system gives the house the speed it actually needs without upgrading the service unnecessarily.
