CleverCharge: Smart Multi-EV Charging Solution

Managing charging for multiple electric vehicles at home often involves a complex juggling act to ensure every car is ready for the day. A groundbreaking solution from Danlaw, an automotive technology firm with four decades of experience, is set to simplify this process. CleverCharge is the company's first-ever product designed directly for consumers, leveraging artificial intelligence to create a smarter, more cost-effective home charging ecosystem.

Flexible Installation for Any Home

Designed for versatility, the CleverCharge unit is weatherproof and can be installed either inside your garage or outdoors. Homeowners have two distinct installation paths to choose from, catering to different needs and skill levels. For maximum power, a professional electrician can hardwire the unit directly into your home's electrical system. Alternatively, a more straightforward DIY-friendly option allows you to mount the charger and plug it into a standard 240V NEMA 14-50 outlet using a simple two-screw mounting system.

Powerful Level 2 Charging Speeds

CleverCharge delivers a significant performance boost over the basic Level 1 chargers that often come with EVs. The charging speed varies based on your chosen installation method, ensuring you can get back on the road faster.

  • Hardwired Installation: This premium option provides the fastest charge, adding approximately 48 miles of range for every hour of charging. This is a remarkable nine times faster than a typical Level 1 charger.
  • NEMA 14-50 Plug-In Installation: The plug-in model is also incredibly efficient, delivering up to 38 miles of range per hour, which is seven times faster than Level 1 charging.

Intelligent Charging with the CleverKey and App

The true innovation of the CleverCharge system lies in its smart technology, centered around the CleverKey and a connected mobile app. The CleverKey is a small device that plugs into your vehicle's ODB-II port, instantly identifying your car and creating a seamless link to your smartphone.

This connection unlocks an AI-powered assistant that analyzes your unique driving habits, such as daily commute distances and driving style. Based on this personal data, the app provides highly accurate range predictions. It goes beyond simple battery percentages to give you practical advice and peace of mind.

  • Smart Scheduling: The app notifies you of the optimal times to charge each vehicle and even tells you when to swap them on the charger to ensure every car meets its daily needs.
  • Trip Confidence: Before you leave, the app can confirm if you have sufficient range for a planned trip or alert you if a charging session is recommended.
  • Real-Time Data: Monitor your vehicle's charging status and energy consumption directly from your phone at any time.

Vehicle Compatibility

This advanced system is designed for broad compatibility across most vehicle makes and models. The CleverKey ensures that nearly any EV can integrate with the smart charging platform. However, it is not currently compatible with Rivian vehicles or Tesla models manufactured before the 2026 model year.

Pricing and Launch Offer

CleverCharge became available to the public on November 25th. The NEMA plug-in unit is priced at $599, while the more powerful hardwired unit is available for $649. To celebrate the launch, a special Black Friday promotion is running for a limited time, offering a $100 discount on either model.
