The Charlotte Reality
One Storm. Three Days. $80,000 Sitting Dead.
Duke Energy's grid serves millions across the Carolinas — but Charlotte's geography makes it uniquely vulnerable. Ice storms roll in from the mountains each winter, coating power lines and snapping trees. Summer thunderstorms arrive fast and hit hard. When the grid goes down in Myers Park, Ballantyne, or along the Lake Norman shoreline, it can stay down for days. For EV owners, that's not just an inconvenience — it's a $80,000+ asset sitting completely useless in your garage.
- ✓Duke Energy averages 2.1 outage hours per customer annually in the Carolinas — but individual events can last 72+ hours
- ✓A depleted EV battery during an extended outage means no transportation when you need it most
- ✓Most Charlotte homes were not wired for simultaneous EV charging and whole-home backup — without proper engineering, you're choosing one or the other

Engineering-First Design
We don't sell products. We design systems. Every installation is engineered for your specific home, panel, and power requirements — not a one-size-fits-all package.
