Dominick from Freehold, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since August of 2023. A ChargePoint Home Flex went in that September, a plug-in unit on a NEMA 6-50 outlet fed by a 30-amp circuit, with a load-management module alongside it. Charging at 5.8 kW rather than the highest rate the unit allows is a deliberate trade: a smaller circuit and a load manager mean the charger works within what the panel already carries, and an overnight charge does not need to be fast to be finished by morning.
Why Dominick chose Green Sun Energy Services
Professional home EV charging made simple, from electrical design through final inspection.

EV charger questions from Freehold homeowners
Will I need a panel upgrade for an EV charger?
Not always. Many homes have enough calculated capacity, even if the panel looks full. A proper load calculation, breaker-space review, service rating, and existing load assessment should be done before assuming an expensive service upgrade is necessary.
Does a 200-amp service in Freehold automatically have room for a 48-amp charger?
No. The rating on the service is not the same thing as the capacity left in it. The existing loads decide: electric heat, air conditioning, an electric range, a dryer, a water heater, a pool, a hot tub, solar equipment and anything else substantial all count against what is available. A load calculation answers the question; the number on the panel does not.
Can an EV charger be installed on a driveway pedestal?
Yes. A pedestal installation can work well where the house wall is too far away or parking is detached. It may require trenching, conduit, a weather-rated charger, physical protection, and careful placement so cords do not cross sidewalks or create trip hazards.
