Generac — a power and energy management company known for its gas-powered home backup generators — has released its first electric vehicle charger. The new charger joins the company’s home battery solution in its move toward clean energy. Generac also owns Ecobee, a smart thermostat company. The Generac Level 2 charger costs $649 for the 40amp version or $699 for the 48amp model and is compatible with all EVs on the market today, including Tesla vehicles with an adapter.
With the addition of the EV charger, Generac is continuing its move into electric power that has been accelerating since 2020 when it launched its PWRcell home battery — a competitor to the Tesla Powerwall. In early 2022, the company also hired Brian Dow, Tesla’s director of engineering, as its VP of clean energy. It’s been steadily expanding the battery’s solar storage and home backup solution capabilities, including integrating it with its home standby generators.
