Scott from Fanwood, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since May of 2024. The charger is a ChargePoint Home Flex, hardwired rather than plugged in, on a 60-amp circuit, and it was finished in August of 2024. It delivers around 11.5 kW through a J1772 connector. The load calculation put the minimum service panel at about 145 amps, which on a house of this size is the number that settles whether a charger circuit can be added without touching the service first.

EV charger questions from Fanwood homeowners
What amperage settings does a ChargePoint Home Flex have?
Home Flex can be configured for 16, 24, 32, 40, 48 or 50 amps. It is commissioned at installation to match the circuit it is on and the capacity the house has spare, which is what lets the same charger suit a full panel and an empty one.
What electrical code applies to EV chargers in Fanwood, NJ?
EV charging equipment is covered primarily by NEC Article 625 along with the general rules for circuits, grounding, overcurrent protection, wiring methods, and equipment installation.
Is it better to hardwire an EV charger?
For a permanent residential installation, hardwiring often is -- particularly at higher charging rates and outdoors. It removes a high-current plug and receptacle from the circuit, allows the equipment's full range of output settings, avoids some ground-fault interaction concerns, and makes a tidier outdoor installation.
