We recently had the pleasure to host Spencer Harrison, Founder & CEO of NeoCharge. Priced at around $450, NeoCharge is a simple and powerful home EV charger.
It plugs into a regular 240V dryer outlet and comes with baked-in software intelligence that allows homeowners to program various preferences into the device such as prioritization of loads, optimizing charge times and more.
Spencer shared with us the story of NeoCharge, how he and his cofounders started it as a school project when they were at Cal Poly, and then how the company evolved over the years to be a rapidly growing start-up. Below is our video interview with Spencer.
