Sunrun announced the launch of its new Level 2 electric vehicle (EV) charger. The new product complements the company's suite of home energy management solutions and supports growing demand for electric vehicles nationwide. With the new EV charger, Sunrun is advancing its mission to deliver energy independence, cost savings and energy stability to all Americans by enabling customers to power their vehicles at home with abundant and affordable solar energy.

EV sales in the United States more than doubled in 2021, accounting for 5% of all new car sales. This trend creates a significant opportunity for Sunrun to help EV owners charge their vehicles quickly and safely while also providing solutions to manage increasing home energy consumption. Adding an EV can increase a home's electricity usage by 50% or more per year, depending on driving and charging behavior.

With 80% of EV charging done at home, and utility prices jumping nearly 14% across the nation, Sunrun customers will be able to charge their EVs with clean, solar power while also reaping the benefits of cheaper, more predictable energy rates.
