Maybe. A Level 2 EV charger draws 30-50 amps continuously. If your panel is 100A or already heavily loaded, you may need a panel upgrade or load management device. Most NJ homes with 200A panels can add a charger without upgrade. Your installer will run a load calculation.
Yes - the federal 30C tax credit covers 30% of EV charger installation cost up to $1,000 in eligible census tracts. NJ utilities also offer rebates ranging from $250 to $1,500 depending on the program. Your installer can help identify what's available in your area.
