when installed as part of a
Savant home, our EV charger
delivers added visibility and
control within the Savant
Power ecosystem. When
connected to a 60-amp
Savant Power Module, the
charger enables homeowners
to monitor energy consumption
trends, manage
power usage and even use
the charger off -grid. "
Dealers Can Educate
Customers on Benefi ts
Integrators can also provide
the information and
awareness on EV charging
products to educate
customers. The LVL 2 EV
Charger, provided as a partnership
with Schumacher
Electric, falls into what is
known as a Level 2 charger,
for instance. Gutin outlines
the EV charging product
classifi cations by saying
Level 1 units are residential
chargers that use standard
120-volt AC outlets, and
they provide 3 to 6 miles of
range per hour of charging.
Level 2 products like the
Savant unit, he says, run on
240-volts and are installed
through hardwiring or
outlet connections. Level
2 units install into both
commercial and residential
environments, and charge
in the range of 20 to 60
miles per hour for a vehicle.
The fi nal product tier is
Level 3 chargers. These
products run on 480-volts,
and they deliver a range of
60 to 100 miles per hour of
charging.
" Savant off ers many training
and educational opportunities
for both integrators
and end users, " he points
out. Savant University off ers
a dedicated Power track
that teaches dealers how
to plan, size and sell smart
energy.
" Homeowners can visit
savant.com/power, which
delivers a smart power
educational resource where
they will see how to manage
power in their home,
including information on
alternative energy sources,
battery storage solutions,
automatic generators,
smarter EV charging, and
fl exible load management.
They can also explore the
diff erence in benefi ts delivered
by whole-home power
management vs. emergency
power management. "
Gutin adds that when
integrators take a closer
look at the potential of EV
charging station installations,
they will see numbers
that indicate an immense
level of EV vehicle sales
growth over the next several
years.
" The worldwide automobile
market is experiencing
a seismic shift, " he
concludes. " By 2030, it is
projected that nearly 52%
of new vehicles sold in the
United States will be electric
vehicles [per a KPMG
survey that was reported by
CNBC]. This off ers both a
challenge and an opportunity
for manufacturers and
retailers alike. "

swear by Class H for its ability to reduce
dissipation across the output devices
and allow the amp to operate with
