• Meet RVE at NECA 2023 (Aug 02, 2023)

  RVE would like to say hello!

   And talk about some things that are important to us:

   

  • Nearly all plug-in vehicle charging takes place at home.
  • 48 million Americans in single-family homes will likely need an electric panel or service upgrade if they drive daily.
  • An electric panel upgrade can mean a long wait-time and thousands of extra dollars to a charging station installation.
  • The 30% of Americans living in multi-unit dwellings will have this same problem, but in a setting that poses its own set of challenges.

   

  Homeowners and drivers want to make the switch to electric and we provide a charging solution to make that possible.

  The DCC by RVE is the only safe, reliable, and future-proof alternative to a panel upgrade made specifically for electric vehicles. Find out more at https://rve-usa.com/products/

• RVE: Electrics Run in the Family (Aug 02, 2023)

  RVE's founder, David Corbeil, first worked on our flagship product: the DCC, as a project with his father, an electrician and owner of their family electrical business.

   

  It was out of the innovative work they poured into electric vehicle energy management systems that RVE came to be 8 years ago, co-founded with David's sister, Marie-Pier.

   

  Today, RVE has grown to 30 employees, many of whom have a history in the electrical industry too. Our expertise comes from having worked in the field, closely with electricians, and many of the other stakeholders in a typical EVSE installation project.

• Have you heard of the DCC? (Aug 21, 2023)

  Now that you know RVE a bit better, it's time to get to know what we offer!

   

  RVE is the North American authority on electric vehicle energy management systems, shortened to EVEMS. An EVEMS will manage the electrical load that an electric vehicle (EV) requires, making sure that an EV will not risk overloading an electric panel and that energy can be safely consumed at times of best rates. It can be offered as both software and hardware, with our flagship product, the DCC, being a hardwired EVEMS made specifically for electric vehicles and the only patent of its kind that is CSA certified and UL Listed. 

   

  There are several advantages to a hardware-based EVEMS, such as:

   

  - Load management uses real data, in-real time, according to a household's energy availability.

  - No risk of losing signal to a charging device or internet connection.

  - Hardwired EVEMS can be used without third-party services or applications for management.

  - Eliminates the possibility of tampering with the load management component of a charging system.

• Which DCC model to pick for a single-family home? (Aug 25, 2023)

  DCC models DCC-12 and DCC-10 are perfect for the single-family home. 

   

  Constructed to offload the energy of an electric vehicle charger from a panel with a capacity of 60 to 200 amps, both models will protect your home's infrastructure, while giving you ample charging time every night.

   

  The DCC-12 is the preferred model for homeowners that have an electrical panel that is near or at capacity and who do not require the addition of an internal breaker. It is RVE's most economical option - considering the potential savings in using a DCC over a home panel upgrade. And how little additional space it requires - its compact 11x8 inch frame can be installed right next to the electrical panel. 

   

  The DCC-10 has all the same features as other DCC models but includes an internal breaker for situations where an additional breaker is needed for the full protection of an electrical panel unit.

• Cutting costs of charging station installations with the DCC-12 (Aug 25, 2023)

  Following a very successful installation, an advocate for the DCC from San Jose, California gave RVE a detailed account of his experience that we summarized in a case study here: https://rve-usa.com/case-studies/single-family-home-san-jose/

   

  After being quoted more than $11,000 for the upgrade of a main breaker, the running of conduit to the main service, trenching, and labor, the Californian client went back to trickle-charging using an outlet and a Level 1 charger, but found that it took more than a day to bring the battery up to a full charge. 

   

  He explored the option of a feeder switch between his oven and the electric vehicle, but this too seemed potentially inconvenient.

   

  It was finally the DCC-12 that satisfied all of his needs without having to sacrifice charging speed or use of his appliances. And at a fraction of the original estimated cost as using the DCC-12 for energy management will almost always avoid panel upgrades, main service work, and trenching. 

   

  The DCC-12 has benefited many single-family homeowners who face the same barriers. If you are working on a project and would like more information about the DCC-12, or if you have a DCC-12 success story, RVE can be contacted at: https://rve-usa.com/contact/
