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 a 240-volt EV outlet require GFCI protection in Springfield, NJ?
Receptacle-based EV charging may require GFCI protection under the adopted electrical code depending on the location and configuration. Many EV chargers also have internal protection. Your electrician should design the circuit to satisfy the charger listing and New Jersey's current NEC requirements.
Does the EV charger need a disconnect?
Some installations require or benefit from a disconnect depending on equipment rating, location, and code rules. The electrician should follow the adopted NEC and the charger's listing.
Should I label the EV charger breaker?
Yes. Clear panel labeling helps homeowners, electricians, inspectors, and emergency responders identify the circuit. The charger may also require other markings under the electrical code or equipment instructions.
