Markicia from Deptford, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since February of 2025. The charger is a ChargePoint Home Flex, hardwired on a dedicated 60-amp circuit, finished in March of 2025, with a J1772 connector. The load calculation put the minimum service panel at about 107 amps, which is the sum that decides whether a 60-amp charger circuit can be added to a house at all – it is a question about the panel, not about the car.

EV charger questions from Deptford homeowners
Does a home EV charger need an electrical permit in Deptford?
A new permanently installed EV charging circuit generally requires an electrical permit and inspection under New Jersey's Uniform Construction Code. Where a utility rebate is involved, the programme may also want evidence that the permit was closed out properly.
Why does a 48-amp charger need a 60-amp breaker?
Because the electrical code treats EV charging as a continuous load, and overcurrent protection for a continuous load has to be sized at not less than 125 percent of it. Forty-eight amps multiplied by 1.25 is sixty, which is why 48 amps is the common maximum charging rate on a residential 60-amp circuit.
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.
