Michael from Marlton, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since June of 2025. The charger went into the garage in July: a Tesla wall connector with a NACS plug rated 11.5 kW, hardwired on a dedicated 60-amp circuit within ten feet of the breaker box. The unit itself was supplied by the household rather than by us, which is a perfectly sensible way to do it – the equipment is often bought with the car, and what actually needs a contractor is the circuit, the permit and the inspection rather than the box on the wall. The load calculation put the minimum service at 166 amps against the 200-amp supply the house already had, so the circuit went in without the panel being touched, and a utility rebate application was filed as part of the job.

EV charger questions from Marlton homeowners
What should a Marlton 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.
ChargePoint Home Flex or Tesla Wall Connector -- which is better?
Both are good residential Level 2 chargers and the right answer comes from the cars, the electrical installation and any utility programme being applied for. Home Flex offers a slightly higher maximum output, a choice of J1772 or NACS connector, and plug-in or hardwired versions. Tesla offers close integration with Tesla vehicles, the Universal model for mixed households, and capable power management.
Can a NACS charger charge a car that is not a Tesla?
It depends on the vehicle's connector and on which charger it is. A standard Tesla Wall Connector uses NACS. The Universal version carries an integrated J1772 adapter as well, which makes it the more flexible arrangement for a household running more than one brand, and many manufacturers are moving to NACS in any case.
