evNation working with dealers for solar EV charger installations
A new installer of electric vehicle chargers, solar panels and solar panels is partnering with car dealers to provide charger installation to EV buyers.
And that’s quite fitting for evNation, which was founded by dealers Alex Livadas and Neil Okun, who each have three decades of experience in the car business.
The company takes a “concierge approach” and aims to help consumers install solar car chargers to their garages in addition to providing home installation of solar panels with battery storage.
“The first question consumers are asking when considering purchasing an electric car is: how do I charge the car?” Livadas said in a news release. “Studies have found that 80% of customers prefer to charge their cars at home, so we set up evNation to team up with auto dealerships like Fletcher Jones Motorcars (the nation's No. 1 Mercedes-Benz dealer) in Newport Beach to offer home installations of the unique SolarEdge Smart Level 2+ EV Charger at the point of sale.”
Livadas’ LinkedIn profile indidcates he has been the sales team manager at Fletcher Jones Motorcars since 2008.
Okun added: “We have built our business on the fundamental premise that 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.”
