Mayank from Manalapan, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since May of 2025. A ChargePoint charger with a NACS connector was installed in June, on its own 60-amp circuit. The charger calls for a minimum 180-amp service and the house has 200, so nothing had to be upgraded to make room for it. That is worth establishing before a charger is bought rather than after, because the answer decides whether the job is an afternoon’s work or a service upgrade.

EV charger questions from Manalapan homeowners
What is bidirectional charging?
Bidirectional charging allows energy to flow from the vehicle battery back to a home or grid when supported by the vehicle and equipment. It is more complex than ordinary charging and should be designed as a power system, not just an outlet.
What are NACS and J1772?
J1772 is the long-established North American AC charging connector used by many non-Tesla vehicles. NACS is the North American Charging System connector originally developed by Tesla and now widely adopted across the industry. Adapters allow cross-compatibility in many situations, and some chargers are available with either connector.
Does Manalapan 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.
