Home Charging
Worried Your Home Can't Support a Charger?
Many homes don't have enough electrical capacity for a Level 2 EV charger - and upgrading your home's power can cost between $5,000 and $30,000+. Variablegrid eliminates that cost entirely by working with the power you already have.
Your home can support Level 2 charging - no electrical upgrade needed.

The Technology
How Does It Work?
Think of it as a digital dimmer switch for your home's electricity. Variablegrid monitors total energy draw from your panel and adjusts your EV charger's output in real time - always pulling in whatever power is free.
-
Sensors Monitor Total Energy Draw
Two included sensors attach directly to your electrical panel and continuously measure your home's total power consumption in real time.
-
EVEMS Automatically Adjusts Charger Output
When appliances are starting to restrict available power, it automatically lowers charger output. As demand drops - like late at night - it increases charging power. Always within your panel's limits.
-
Your Kia Always Gets the Fastest Safe Charge
The charger never goes to zero - it simply gets less power when the house needs more, and turns back up the moment capacity is free. No power upgrade. No compromise.
Common Question
Does the charger get no power when everything is on? No, your charger always has power. Appliances like your dryer, oven, and AC don't run at full load all the time. They cycle on and off throughout the day, and every time one cycles off, Variablegrid grabs that freed-up power and puts it toward charging your Kia. It continuously adjusts in real time, turning up when power is available and turning down when your home needs it, so your car is always charging as fast as your home allows.
