When do you need an EV charger?
New EV Owner
If you've just bought or leased an electric vehicle, a dedicated home charger is the safest and fastest way to keep your car ready to go.
Slow Charging
Tired of waiting 24+ hours for a full charge using a 3-pin plug? A 7.4kW smart charger can fully charge most EVs overnight.
Cost Savings
Smart chargers allow you to schedule charging during off-peak hours, significantly reducing your fuel costs compared to public charging.
Solar Integration
If you have solar panels, we can install chargers that use your excess solar energy to charge your car for free.
