Wyatt from Lawrence Township, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since March of 2025. The charger went into the garage that April: a hardwired ChargePoint Level 2 unit rated 11.5 kW on a dedicated 60-amp circuit, within ten feet of the breaker box. The load calculation put the minimum service at 132 amps against the 150-amp supply the house already had, so the circuit went in without the panel being touched. That calculation is the check that decides whether an EV charger is a morning’s work or the start of a service upgrade, and it is far better done before anything is ordered than on installation day. A permit was filed with the township and a utility rebate application submitted as part of the job.

EV charger questions from Lawrence Township homeowners
Can I install an EV charger myself in Lawrence Township, NJ?
Homeowners may have limited rights to perform electrical work on property they own, but permitting, code compliance, inspection, and safety requirements still apply. Because EV charging is a continuous high-load application, professional installation by a qualified electrical contractor is strongly recommended.
Can an EV charger share a dryer circuit?
Not by simply using both appliances at the same time on one ordinary branch circuit. Listed switching or load-sharing devices can sometimes alternate power between a dryer and EV charger when designed for that purpose.
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.
