EV Charger Installation in Somers Point, NJ | A Hardwired ChargePoint on a 60-Amp Circuit

Somers Point, NJ · Client since December 2025

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

What electrical code applies to an EV charger installed in Somers Point?

New Jersey adopts the National Electrical Code through the Uniform Construction Code, and the edition in force statewide is what the municipal inspector enforces. EV charging is governed principally by Article 625, which covers the branch circuit, overcurrent protection, continuous loads, load management, the disconnecting means, ground-fault protection and cord management.

What is a Tesla Universal Wall Connector?

A version designed to charge both NACS and J1772 vehicles. It keeps Tesla's NACS connector and adds an integrated J1772 adapter, with a maximum output of about 48 amps. It is the more flexible Tesla option for a household running more than one brand of car.

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.
