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
Does a home EV charger need an electrical permit in Keyport?
A new permanently installed EV charging circuit generally requires an electrical permit and inspection under New Jersey's Uniform Construction Code. Where a utility rebate is involved, the programme may also want evidence that the permit was closed out properly.
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.
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.
