7 kW smart charging Charge from your solar Safe Electric certified

Why charge at home

The cheapest, easiest way to fuel an EV

Home charging is where the real savings are, especially when it's paired with your own solar.

Cheap overnight charging

On an EV night rate you can charge for a fraction of daytime prices, and a fraction of what public rapid chargers cost. Plug in at night, wake up to a full battery.

Free miles from your solar

Pair your charger with solar panels and top up straight from the sun during the day. Your surplus generation goes into the car instead of back to the grid for pennies.

Convenience & home value

No more detours to a public charger. A dedicated 7 kW unit charges up to ~5× faster than a 3-pin plug, safely, and a fitted charge point adds appeal for future buyers.

Solar + EV

Charge your car from the sun

We're one of the few teams that does solar, battery and EV charging together. Generate on your roof, store in a battery, and pour the surplus into your car, so a chunk of your driving becomes free.
