Splitvolt, Inc.: EV Charging Reimagined: Splitvolt’s Award-Winning Innovation, Expansion

Known for developing practical, cost-saving EV charging and residential energy management solutions, Splitvolt has also built strong global partnerships and is expanding into commercial B2B, fleet, and international markets. But how did this U.S. company’s journey begin?

The most groundbreaking ideas are sometimes born in the simplest of moments. For Dan Liddle, founder of Splitvolt, that moment came during his drive on California’s State Route 87. As a proud new owner of an electric vehicle, he was reveling in the promise of clean energy—until his thoughts turned to the $850 electrician quote for installing a Level 2 charging outlet just three feet from his electrical box. The excitement dimmed as the price tag loomed in his mind, and the additional weeks of permitting, surveys and power company approvals turned the process into a logistical nightmare.

Then, inspiration hit. Liddle remembered the underused 240-volt dryer outlet in his garage—the same voltage required to charge his EV.

“Why not maximize its potential? Why spend thousands on new installations when existing infrastructure could be shared intelligently?” he reflected.

That ‘aha’ moment became the cornerstone of Splitvolt and its revolutionary product, the Splitter Switch.

With the Splitvolt Splitter Switch, EV owners can safely and affordably charge their vehicles using existing 240-volt circuits, all for about $300. The device requires no technical expertise to install and operates automatically, directing power where it’s needed. The simple yet elegant solution eliminates costly rewiring, empowering homeowners to fast-charge their vehicles in minutes.

Safety, too, is paramount here. The Splitter Switch is equipped with internal circuit breakers that monitor and regulate power flow, protecting both homes and vehicles.

“Our goal was to remove barriers,” explains Liddle, president and CEO. “The Splitter Switch is our first step to rethinking how we power the EV revolution.”

Customers saw the value in the Splitvolt Splitter Switch as soon as it launched, but many asked for more. “We love this thing,” one early adopter shared, “but why not offer a simple, affordable mobile charger to pair with it?” Customer-centric at its core, Splitvolt quickly developed a high-quality mobile charger designed to complement the Splitter Switch. The upgraded version offers features like adjustable delays for off-peak charging and power-level customization to match any circuit. Its success has already resonated with tens of thousands of customers.

Splitvolt is taking bold steps to address the needs of the B2B market as well. Auto dealerships, a key market segment, often encounter a significant pain point when finalizing EV sales—informing customers about the costly and time-consuming installation of a Level 2 charging outlet. This potentially slows down the sales process. By presenting customers with a ready-to-use solution, dealerships can say, “For $350, take home this device today. Once installed, you can immediately fast-charge your EV using your existing infrastructure without needing electricians or permitting delays.” This eliminates a common barrier to closing EV sales and streamlines the overall customer experience.

Automakers are also reaping the benefits of Splitvolt’s ingenuity. By offering the Splitter Switch as a plug-and-play add-on, manufacturers can avoid the costs and complexities of managing charging infrastructure. This approach enhances customer satisfaction and aligns with broader efforts to make EV ownership accessible and convenient.

Building on it’s success, Splitvolt has added adjustable mobile chargers and is now turning its attention to a new frontier: next-generation wall-mounted smart charging stations. Splitvolt’s new smart charging station is the first of its kind to offer true plug-and-play setup. While most smart chargers require hardwiring, Splitvolt’s unit can either be hardwired for maximum power or simply plugged into an existing 240V 50-amp outlet—no configuration needed. These charging stations are designed to support up to 50-amp adjustable charging rates and include robust residential smart charging features such as scheduled charging, adjustable power, local app set-up and control, Bluetooth configuration with local WiFi access, RFID access control. While also ideal for apartment complexes and multi-tenant dwellings, they also support behind-the-scenes advanced custom commercial applications and capabilities, making them scalable and future-ready.

These innovations are consistently being recognized by the industry. Since earning the Gold Winner award at the 10th Annual Consumer World Awards in 2020, the company has achieved the Big Innovation Award in 2022 and now named a Top 10 Solution Provider for Electric Vehicle Charging Solutions in 2025. The accolades highlight Splitvolt’s success solving critical residential and now commercial EV charging challenges.

The road to a greener, electrified future is here, and Splitvolt invites everyone to embrace this purposeful shift. With innovative solutions that are not only sustainable but cost-effective, it is making the transition to clean energy seamless and affordable.
