Xutao from Edison, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since September of 2025. The charger is a ChargePoint Home Flex, hardwired rather than plugged in, on a 60-amp circuit, and it was finished in October of 2025. It delivers around 11.5 kW through a NACS connector – the Tesla-pattern plug – rather than the J1772 that most other cars take. The load calculation put the minimum service panel at about 104 amps.

EV charger questions from Edison homeowners
Does a 200-amp service in Edison 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.
Does a home charger need Wi-Fi?
Basic charging does not depend on it, but the smart functions do: activation, scheduling, firmware updates, diagnostics, access control and any data a utility programme asks for. Some equipment sits in a reduced output mode until it is activated, so the network connection is worth setting up at installation rather than later.
Why does the charger sit on a 60-amp breaker?
Because 48-amp charging is a continuous load, and the code requires the overcurrent protection for a continuous load to be sized at not less than 125 percent of it. Forty-eight amps multiplied by 1.25 is sixty. The breaker is not oversized; it is sized correctly for a load that runs for hours without pause.
