5 TECHNOLOGIES TO WATCH
EV Charging
Trend #3
Electric Vehicle Charging
Extends Smart Home Services
As sales of EVs increase,
manufacturers such as Savant are
assisting integrators with solutions to
cater to clean power customers who
also eye other smart technology.
By Robert Archer
IF YOU THINK that you are
seeing more Teslas, Chevy
Bolts and other EV vehicles
on the road, you are not
wrong. A story published
by Car and Driver in August
2022 cites data from Automotive
News states that
over the first three months
of 2022 EV sales increased
by 60%.
Conversely, the story
points out, those figures
stand in contrast to the
overall number of new vehicle
registrations falling by
18% over the same period.
Overall, the Car and Driver
story states that EV vehicles
represent 4.6% of the
total U.S. car market. The
article goes on to reference
a report from IHS Markit
that estimates the total
number of EV vehicles could
rise to become 25% to 30%
of all new car sales by 2030,
and those numbers could
increase to 40% to 45% by
2035, especially with EV/
hybrid sales mandates in
states like California.

So, how is the shift in
auto sales relevant to the
custom integration industry?
Savant notes that a
recent study from Parks
Associates finds EV owners
are twice as likely to own or
be interested in smart home
technologies, which opens
the door for installations
for products such as EV
charging stations - a product
category the company
recently entered in its latest
power initiative.
EVs Represent Lifestyle
That Integrators Can
Appeal To
Aaron Gutin, specification
development director at Savant,
addresses the question
of why integrators would
want to get involved with
EV technologies by pointing
out that clean power
represents next-generation
lifestyles.
" Smart power is quickly
becoming the foundation
of the smart home, and the
custom integrator, as the
Savant partnered with Schumacher Electric, a leader in
automotive power conversion and battery products, to
design and deliver an intelligent EV charger for the Savant
ecosystem.
trusted technology professional,
is in an ideal position
to showcase the value of
next-level EV charging, "
comments Gutin.
He says Savant is helping
integrators to take advantage
of this burgeoning
opportunity through the
introduction of its LVL 2 EV
Charger, which can provide a
differentiator for its dealers.
" The beautiful and
elegantly functional form
factor also stands out when
compared to other chargers.
It has a lockable, ergonomically
designed charging
gun and interchangeable
dock equipped with flexible
cable management, " Gutin
explains.
" Each unit ships with the
charger, a standard wand,
and Tesla adapters. Plus,
