Chris from Highlands, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since September of 2023. A ChargePoint went in that October on its own dedicated circuit – the plug-in version rather than the hardwired one, ending in a NEMA 6-50 plug and an outlet on the wall instead of running straight into the panel. That is a real choice rather than a shortcut. A plugged unit can be unplugged: taken to a new house, swapped for a newer model, or lifted off for work on the wall behind it, none of which needs an electrician, and the outlet stays behind for whatever comes next.
Why Chris chose Green Sun Energy Services
Professional home EV charging made simple, from electrical design through final inspection.

EV charger questions from Highlands homeowners
Do I need Wi-Fi for an EV charger?
No for basic charging on many models, but smart functions, firmware updates, utility programs, remote control, and usage reporting may require connectivity. Check whether the charger continues to operate safely when internet service is unavailable.
What should a Highlands homeowner look for in an EV charger installer?
One that treats the charger, the car, the electrical service, the permit and any utility programme as a single system rather than fitting a 60-amp breaker because the charger will take one. That means the household's actual daily driving, what the vehicle's onboard charger accepts, the connector, the service rating, a proper load calculation, the capacity left in the panel, Article 625 and the manufacturer's installation instructions, the correct breaker and conductor sizes, hardwired or plug-in, indoor or outdoor, the municipal permit and final inspection, commissioning and network setup, whatever incentives are open at the time, off-peak charging, how it interacts with solar or back-up power if the house has either, and the second car that may arrive later. The question worth asking is which charging system gives the house the speed it actually needs without upgrading the service unnecessarily.
Why is an EV charger considered a continuous load?
EV charging can run at its maximum draw for many hours, so electrical codes treat it as a continuous load. That is why the circuit is sized with additional capacity rather than matching breaker amperage directly to the charger's output.
