Kyle from Jackson, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since September of 2025. The charger went in that November: a hardwired ChargePoint Level 2 unit rated 11.5 kW, mounted outdoors on a dedicated 60-amp circuit with surge protection and a service-disconnect switch. The load calculation put the minimum service at 47 amps against the 100-amp supply the house already had, so the circuit went in without the panel being touched. That calculation is the step worth insisting on: it is what separates a charger that can simply be added from one that needs the service upgraded first, and it is far better established before anything is ordered than on installation day. A permit was filed with the township and a utility rebate application submitted.

EV charger questions from Jackson homeowners
Can a smart charger stop working if the company shuts down?
Some chargers retain basic local charging while cloud features disappear; others are more dependent on online services. For long-term resilience, review whether the charger can operate without a subscription or vendor cloud.
Will cold Jackson, NJ winters slow EV charging?
Cold temperatures can reduce battery efficiency and charging speed, particularly when the battery is very cold. Preconditioning and charging while the vehicle is still warm can improve winter performance.
Can a Tesla use a J1772 home charger?
Most Tesla vehicles can use J1772 Level 2 equipment with the appropriate adapter. Charging speed still depends on the vehicle and charger ratings.
