NeoCharge

What NeoCharge does

NeoCharge is a San Luis Obispo, California-based hardware and software company, founded in 2018 as a Cal Poly San Luis Obispo senior project, that addresses the high cost of home Level 2 EV charging. Its flagship product, the Smart Splitter, is a UL-listed, plug-and-play 240V outlet-sharing device with patented automatic power switching between an appliance (typically a dryer) and an EV charger, or between two EVs, on a single existing circuit — enabling Level 2 charging without the $3,000-$15,000 electrical panel upgrades that typically block home charger installation.

The company pairs the hardware with the NeoCharge App (launched 2024), a Wi-Fi-connected software platform that integrates with 20+ EV brands via the Enode vehicle API, three solar inverter platforms (Enphase, Tesla, SolarEdge), OCPP-compatible Level 2 chargers (Wallbox, Autel, LENZ), and utility rate data (OpenEI) to provide live cost-per-session tracking, smart off-peak scheduling that saves up to 70% on time-of-use charging, solar-aware self-consumption optimization, and multi-EV management. Revenue is generated primarily through direct-to-consumer e-commerce sales of the Smart Splitter ($329-$399) and accessories, supplemented by a freemium app with a paid solar-subscription tier and a $99 extended-warranty Protection Package. Distribution is augmented by utility rebate programs with PG&E, SMUD, BC Hydro, Duke Energy, Tacoma Power, and 3CE, by bundled sales with EV charger brands, by a Treehouse installation-services partnership, and by a 2026 California Energy Commission pilot (EPC-24-022) with NREL for a whole-home Energy Monitor that uses CT clamps and OCPP to manage EV charging at the panel level.

Core offering

NeoCharge designs, manufactures, and sells the Smart Splitter, a UL-listed, WiFi-connected 240V outlet-sharing device that allows homeowners to add Level 2 EV charging by sharing an existing dryer or appliance outlet with their EV charger, eliminating the need for an expensive electrical panel upgrade. The company pairs the hardware with the NeoCharge App, which provides real-time energy/cost tracking, off-peak scheduling, solar integration, and multi-EV management, and also sells compatible Level 2 EV chargers, NEMA adapters, and accessories.

Product overview

NeoCharge offers a hardware-plus-software platform for home EV charging optimization. The core product is the Smart Splitter, a UL-listed plug-and-play 240V outlet splitter that enables Level 2 EV charging without panel upgrades by sharing existing dryer or EV outlets between appliances and EVs (or between two EVs). This hardware is paired with the NeoCharge App (launched 2024), which provides live cost tracking, smart off-peak scheduling, solar integration, and multi-EV management. NeoCharge also sells compatible EV chargers (Wallbox Pulsar Plus, Autel AC Lite, LENZ EVSE), NEMA adapters, extension cords, and commercial-grade outlets as accessories. The company runs a CEC-funded Energy Monitor pilot program (2026) using CT clamps and OCPP for whole-home load management. The product portfolio spans the Smart Splitter hardware family (NEMA 10-30, 14-30, 14-50, 10-50, 6-50 variants), the NeoCharge App (core software platform), and a range of charging accessories and adapters.

Direct peers

• Splitvolt: Splitvolt sells plug-in 240V splitter devices (e.g., Splitter Switch, Splitter Box) that let EV owners share dryer/range outlets with an EV charger — the closest direct competitor to the NeoCharge Smart Splitter on product, use case, and target customer.
• Emporia Energy: Emporia sells home energy monitors, smart EV chargers, and load-management software that schedule EV charging around TOU rates and solar production — overlapping strongly with NeoCharge's app-side features and home EV charging focus.
• Span.IO: Span makes a smart electrical panel with built-in load management that enables Level 2 EV charging without panel upgrades — competing with NeoCharge on the same 'avoid panel upgrade' value proposition, but via a panel replacement rather than a plug-in splitter.
• Lumin: Lumin provides a smart energy management system (Lumin Edge) that monitors whole-home circuits and orchestrates loads including EV chargers, giving homeowners panel-aware control — directly competing with NeoCharge's app and Energy Monitor positioning.
• DCC Electric: DCC Electric manufactures residential EV chargers and energy management hardware (including load-sharing devices) sold across North America — competing directly with NeoCharge on smart load management for home EV charging.

Broad incumbents

• Wallbox: Wallbox is a global Level 2 EV charger OEM (Pulsar Plus, Pulsar Pro) with built-in smart charging, dynamic load balancing, and a consumer app — a much larger incumbent that partners with NeoCharge on bundled sales but competes at the charger-software layer.
• Tesla Energy: Tesla sells the Wall Connector EV charger, Powerwall battery, and the Tesla app with solar/charging orchestration — a broad incumbent that already controls end-to-end home EV charging and battery management for Tesla owners, constraining NeoCharge's addressable market.
• ChargePoint: ChargePoint is a leading EV charging network and residential charger provider (Home Flex) with its own app for scheduling, TOU optimization, and load management — a broad incumbent in the same residential managed-charging category as NeoCharge.
• Enphase Energy: Enphase combines microinverters, IQ Batteries, and the IQ EV Charger with its own app for solar-aware EV charging — a broad incumbent in the home energy and EV charging stack that NeoCharge integrates with but ultimately competes against at the orchestration layer.
• JuiceNet / Enel X Way: JuiceNet (now Enel X Way) provides JuiceBox smart EV chargers and a managed charging platform with TOU scheduling and utility demand-response programs — directly comparable to NeoCharge's app-and-charger orchestration for residential managed charging.
