Fadzi from Glen Rock, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since March of 2025. The charger is a ChargePoint Home Flex, hardwired rather than plugged in, on a 60-amp circuit, and it was finished in April of 2025. It delivers around 11.5 kW through a J1772 connector – the one every car except a Tesla takes without an adapter. Hardwiring is what the 60-amp circuit is for: a plug-in unit is limited by its receptacle, and a hardwired one is not.

EV charger questions from Glen Rock homeowners
Can an older Glen Rock home on a 100-amp service charge an electric car?
Often, yes. A 100-amp house is not automatically disqualified from Level 2 charging. The options include commissioning the charger at a lower amperage, running a proper service-load calculation, using load management or a listed energy-management system, or upgrading the service where the numbers genuinely require it.
What is a home EV charger?
A home EV charger, properly called electric vehicle supply equipment, delivers electricity from the house's electrical system to the charger built into the car. For most homeowners that means a dedicated 240-volt Level 2 unit, which charges considerably faster than a standard 120-volt outlet.
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.
