Joined June 2011
We’re pleased to be offering some of the first and most affordable residential#v2x chargers in the US.
Californians -- We're rolling out a new program in your area! Sign-up on our reservation page to stay up to date discounted bidirectional #EV #charger. Get home backup for a fraction of the cost of a Tesla #powerwall. Folks who have a #Kia #EV9 will be the first off the waitlist.

Thanks @collabfund @sharedfund for featuring us! We’re excited to build the momentum for bidirectional V2X EV charging.
Founders @zhangelaz and @FrancesInEnergy came together because they both saw climate change as the #1 threat to our future. Read more about our recent investment in them and @BidirectionalEV here: https://t.co/ErE15zgfzG

Imagine your #EV not only as a mode of transportation but as a flexible powerhouse for our power systems. #Bidirectional charging lets EVs seamlessly switch between being a smart load and a dynamic energy resource. https://t.co/l78SMrOWG9

Moving away from a carbon price to focus on the two other ways that a government can address climate change: 1) subsidize clean energy so it becomes cheaper and, thus, more widely used 2) put standards in place that mandate less pollution. via @NYTOpinion

For the gazillionth time: Climate change is not a religion. It is a science. Do I believe in it? No. I look at the data, and the data is clear: it's real, it's us, it's bad, and the time to fix it is NOW.
