Doron from Springfield, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since September of 2023. He called at the start of September and the charger was in and working by the end of the month, a ChargePoint unit on a dedicated 50-amp circuit. A dedicated circuit at that rating is what separates overnight charging from all-day charging, and it is the part of the job that has to be done properly. Springfield is in Union County.

Green Sun installed an EV charger in my garage and were awesome to work with! Their team walked me through everything and helped me get my rebates and inspections without issue. Everything works great and I can not recommend them enough!
Green Sun Energy Services replied
Thank you, Doron. A ChargePoint on a dedicated 50-amp circuit in Springfield needs the panel checked, the run pulled properly and the township inspection cleared, and handling all three is meant to be invisible to you. Glad the charger has been trouble-free, and thank you for the recommendation.
EV charger questions from Springfield homeowners
Does Springfield inspect an EV charger installation?
Where the work requires an electrical permit, the municipal electrical inspector reviews it before the permit is closed. That inspection is the record that the circuit, the breaker, the conductors and the equipment connection were done to code, and it is worth having whether or not a rebate depends on it.
Is a lower charging rate enough for most households?
Frequently. A 32-amp setting is estimated at around twenty-five miles of range an hour, so an overnight window covers far more driving than most households do in a day. The charging rate worth installing is the one that refills a normal day comfortably, not the largest one the equipment can be set to.
Where should a home EV charger be mounted?
Somewhere the cable reaches the car's charging port comfortably, without tension and without lying across a walkway. Worth thinking about before the location is fixed: where the port sits on the current car and might sit on the next one, whether the car parks inside or out, the cable length, how the driveway is used, and where the garage door travels.
