We started VoltEdge because the bidirectional EV charging market was heading in an expensive, overcomplicated direction. DC systems requiring $5,000+ hardware and complex installations didn't make sense when millions of EVs already had V2L capability sitting unused.
Our approach is simple: leverage what's already in the vehicle.
Bidirectional charging has been "just around the corner" for years. The industry kept pushing expensive DC solutions that work with only a handful of vehicle models. Meanwhile, automakers were quietly adding V2L to their vehicles—Hyundai, Kia, Ford, BYD. That's 3.6-7.2kW of AC output through the charge port.
Nobody was building affordable systems to actually use this capability. We saw an opportunity: AC-coupled systems could deliver most of the benefit at a fraction of the cost.
The team comes from power electronics, EV charging infrastructure, and residential energy systems. We've worked on DC fast chargers, home battery systems, and grid integration projects.
What frustrated us was the assumption that bidirectional charging required expensive DC hardware. V2L was already in vehicles—we just needed control systems and transfer switching to make it practical for home energy management.
VoltEdge activates and manages your EV's V2L function for home backup and energy optimization. We're not replacing high-power DC systems—those exist for people who need 15kW+ discharge. For residential backup, peak shaving, and solar integration, V2L rates work fine.
Our focus is making V2L useful for homeowners who want backup resilience and better control over electricity costs without spending $5,000+ on DC bidirectional hardware.
We're still iterating based on real installations. If you want a polished product from a major brand, check back in a year when the big EVSE manufacturers add V2L support.
If you're comfortable being an early adopter and want bidirectional capability now without DC system prices, contact us. We'll discuss whether your setup is a good fit.
