Chris from Monmouth Beach, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since September of 2023. A ChargePoint went in the following January, the plug-in version, on a dedicated 60-amp circuit ending in a NEMA 6-50 outlet. That is the same receptacle a welder or an electric range uses, which is the quiet advantage of it: any electrician can inspect it, test it and work on it without needing to know a thing about electric cars.
Why Chris chose Green Sun Energy Services

EV charger questions from Monmouth Beach homeowners
Do I need a permit for a home EV charger in Monmouth Beach, 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.
Why does a 48-amp charger need a 60-amp breaker?
Because the electrical code treats EV charging as a continuous load, and overcurrent protection for a continuous load has to be sized at not less than 125 percent of it. Forty-eight amps multiplied by 1.25 is sixty, which is why 48 amps is the common maximum charging rate on a residential 60-amp circuit.
Can a 100-amp service support an EV charger?
Sometimes. Smaller services can support EV charging when the home's calculated load leaves enough capacity, or when an approved energy-management system limits charging during high household demand. A load calculation is essential.
