Bryan from Middletown, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since August of 2023. The charger is a ChargePoint Home Flex on a NEMA 6-50 outlet, finished in September of 2023, with a J1772 connector – the one every car except a Tesla takes without an adapter. The load calculation put the minimum service panel at about 143 amps. Going plug-in rather than hardwired was the sensible call on a house this size: the unit unplugs if the garage is reorganized or the house is sold, and the outlet stays as a piece of infrastructure whatever is hanging off it.
Why Bryan chose Green Sun Energy Services
Professional home EV charging made simple, from electrical design through final inspection.

EV charger questions from Middletown homeowners
Do I need a permit for a home EV charger in Middletown, NJ?
A new hardwired charger or new branch circuit generally requires electrical permitting and inspection under New Jersey's Uniform Construction Code. A cord-and-plug charger using an existing compatible receptacle may be treated differently, so the local electrical subcode official should be consulted for the specific installation.
How high should an EV charger be mounted?
Follow the manufacturer's mounting range and accessibility requirements. The connector should be easy to reach while keeping controls, cable, and enclosure clear of snow accumulation, standing water, and physical damage.
Does an EV charger need its own circuit?
Generally yes. An outlet installed for EV charging equipment above the threshold in the code is normally supplied by an individual branch circuit, with limited exceptions where a permitted energy-management arrangement is in place. Sharing the circuit with other loads is not the usual answer.
