Suresh from Somerset, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since February of 2025. The charger went in on 6 March: a hardwired ChargePoint Level 2 unit rated 11.5 kW on a dedicated 60-amp circuit, with a load management module and a service-disconnect switch. The load calculation put the minimum service at 140 amps against a 100-amp panel, which is why the module is there: rather than upgrading the service, it holds the charger inside what the existing supply can carry. That is the answer most households want to hear – an older panel does not rule out a charger, it just changes how the job is done. A permit was filed and a utility rebate application submitted.

EV charger questions from Somerset homeowners
Why does the charger sit on a 60-amp breaker?
Because 48-amp charging is a continuous load, and the code requires the overcurrent protection for a continuous load to be sized at not less than 125 percent of it. Forty-eight amps multiplied by 1.25 is sixty. The breaker is not oversized; it is sized correctly for a load that runs for hours without pause.
Can a ChargePoint charger charge a Tesla?
Yes. ChargePoint offers Home Flex with either a J1772 or a NACS connector. The NACS version connects directly to compatible Tesla vehicles, and the J1772 version charges a Tesla through the adapter Tesla supplies.
Does Somerset inspect an EV charger installation?
Where the work requires an electrical permit, the municipal electrical inspector reviews it before the permit is closed. That inspection is the record that the circuit, the breaker, the conductors and the equipment connection were done to code, and it is worth having whether or not a rebate depends on it.
