Generac Adds Residential Electrical Vehicle Chargers
Generac Power Systems, Inc., (NYSE: GNRC), renowned worldwide for their energy technology solutions and power products, has recently announced their debut in the electric vehicle charging market. They have introduced their first-ever electric vehicle charging system. The Generac EV charger, a testament to their integrity and innovation, offers electric vehicle owners an easy-to-install, reliable charging solution at home. Backed up by one of the most reputable names in residential power, this product is set to revolutionize the way we charge our electric vehicles.
The 48A / 11.5kW Generac EV charger is a Level 2 home charger, marking a significant upgrade from the typical Level 1 chargers that come with most electric vehicles. This advanced charger is capable of reviving a car battery to full capacity in as little as four to six hours, a time frame dependent on the specific battery’s capacity and charge need. Compatibility is key for electric vehicle owners and Generac addresses this concern efficiently. The unit’s J1772 connector is out-of-the-box compatible with virtually all EVs currently on the market, providing a seamless charging experience. Furthermore, Generac has considered the varying installation preferences of homeowners. With a NEMA-4 enclosure, this charger is rated for both indoor and outdoor residential installation, offering flexibility and peace of mind to EV owners.
“We’ve seen an unprecedented rise in demand for electric vehicles in the United States,” said Joshua Brister, director of product management at Generac. “We’re excited to help satisfy this high demand by adding the Generac EV charger to our network of energy technology products.”
The Generac EV charger will be widely available for purchase through Generac’s omni channel sales outlets, which includes major home improvement retailers, wholesalers, and hardware stores. This ensures that potential customers have multiple avenues to access this revolutionary product. Beyond the traditional retail experience, Generac offers a unique service to its customers. By visiting the company’s website and filling out a contact form, customers can schedule an in-home consultation. This service provides customers with a comprehensive understanding of the product, its installation, and operation. Furthermore, Generac’s dealers also offer a complete turnkey installation, ensuring a seamless and hassle-free experience for their customers. This combination of wide product availability, personalized consultation, and professional installation service underscores Generac’s commitment to customer satisfaction and positions them as a leader in the electric vehicle charging market.
“Electric vehicle owners need confidence that they can quickly charge to get where they need to go,” said Nick Schmidling, senior product manager at Generac. “As a leader in home energy technology, we’re introducing a product that homeowners can rely on, with a name brand they have come to trust for nearly 65 years.”
