John from Keyport, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since November of 2024. A ChargePoint CPH50 went in that December – hardwired rather than plugged into an outlet, on a dedicated 60-amp circuit. That combination is what delivers 11.5 kW at the car, roughly 36 miles of range an hour: a 60-amp circuit carries 48 amps continuously, and hardwiring is what lets the unit take all of it. It also removes the plug and receptacle, which are the parts of a charging installation that heat and wear.

EV charger questions from Keyport homeowners
Can a ChargePoint Home Flex be set lower if the panel is full?
Yes -- that is the point of the adjustable output. A house that cannot carry 48-amp charging might run at 32 amps on a 40-amp circuit, or 24 amps on a 30-amp one, where the load calculation and the installation support it.
Can I put an EV charger outside in Keyport, NJ?
Yes, if the charger is listed for outdoor use and installed according to its environmental rating. New Jersey installations should consider rain, snow, ice, road salt, coastal salt air, direct sunlight, drainage, snow shoveling, and impact protection.
Can a ChargePoint charger charge a Tesla?
Yes. ChargePoint offers Home Flex with either a J1772 or a NACS connector. The NACS version connects directly to compatible Tesla vehicles, and the J1772 version charges a Tesla through the adapter Tesla supplies.
