Julie from Somers Point, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since December of 2025. The charger is a ChargePoint Home Flex, hardwired rather than plugged in, on a 60-amp circuit, and it was finished in March of 2026. It delivers around 11.5 kW through a J1772 connector. The load calculation put the minimum service panel at about 144 amps – that figure, not the charger, is what decides whether a house can take a 60-amp charger circuit without further work.

EV charger questions from Somers Point homeowners
Can I install an EV charger myself in Somers Point, NJ?
Homeowners may have limited rights to perform electrical work on property they own, but permitting, code compliance, inspection, and safety requirements still apply. Because EV charging is a continuous high-load application, professional installation by a qualified electrical contractor is strongly recommended.
What if my panel is Federal Pacific, Zinsco, or another older brand?
Older or problematic equipment may warrant replacement before adding a large continuous load. An electrician should inspect the panel condition, breaker availability, listing, service size, and safety history.
Can I install two Level 2 chargers at home?
Yes, but the service, panel, branch circuits, and load-management strategy must support them. For two-EV households, power-sharing chargers can often provide excellent overnight charging without doubling the peak electrical demand.
