evNation’s mission is to effortlessly connect the world’s Electric Vehicles to Solar Energy for a healthier planet.
Our founders, Alex and Neil, have over 30 years experience in the luxury car market and initially set up the company to install chargers for electric vehicles. However, they quickly realized solar and electric vehicles are complementary technologies. It is obvious that the current electric grid cannot support all the electric cars that will soon be connecting to it. The choice that customers make to help the environment by replacing their fossil fuel cars with clean energy EVs should be extended to include a home solar system.
