Michael from Millstone Township, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since September of 2025. A ChargePoint went in that October, hardwired, on a 60-amp circuit run back to the panel for this one appliance and nothing else. The dedicated run is the part people underestimate: a car charger draws its full load for hours at a stretch, which is a duty cycle no ordinary household circuit is designed around, and sharing one is how breakers start tripping at two in the morning.

EV charger questions from Millstone Township homeowners
Does a home EV charger need an electrical permit in Millstone Township?
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.
What are NACS and J1772?
J1772 is the long-established North American AC charging connector used by many non-Tesla vehicles. NACS is the North American Charging System connector originally developed by Tesla and now widely adopted across the industry. Adapters allow cross-compatibility in many situations, and some chargers are available with either connector.
Do utilities see when an electric car is charging?
Only where the homeowner enrols in a programme that asks for it. Smart-charging and charger incentive programmes commonly require the customer to authorise sharing charging data with the utility, which is used for administering the programme and for planning the grid. Outside such a programme, the charger reports to its manufacturer's app rather than to the utility.
