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
Can I charge an EV from a portable generator?
Only if the generator, grounding arrangement, receptacle, charging equipment, and vehicle are compatible and the setup is operated safely. Improvised adapters and undersized generators can create shock, fire, and equipment-damage risks.
Can I charge an EV parked at the curb in Edison, NJ?
That depends on municipal rules, property boundaries, sidewalk safety, and whether the parking space is public or private. Running a cord across a public sidewalk is generally problematic and should not be assumed acceptable.
Can aluminum wire be used for an EV charger circuit?
In some installations, listed equipment and wiring methods may allow aluminum conductors, but termination compatibility, conductor sizing, antioxidant requirements where applicable, and manufacturer instructions are critical. Many residential branch circuits use copper for simplicity and terminal compatibility.
