Charging on sunlight — you can feel it
Real feedback from Melbourne homeowners running their EVs on solar energy through a Buddy Charge system.
The app showed me exactly how many free kilometres I'd added from the sun that day. Hard to beat that feeling.

Our Airbnb guests love that they can just tap an RFID card and charge. Solar integration means it costs us nearly nothing.

Load balancing was the main reason we went with Buddy Charge. No worries about tripping the house circuit while charging.
