About Vecharged: Our Mission, Experts, and Editorial Standards
Our Mission: Demystifying Clean Energy for Everyone.
The world is shifting towards a cleaner, more sustainable energy future. But for most people, the technology behind this revolution—from solar inverters to EV batteries—is a confusing landscape of technical jargon, conflicting advice, and marketing hype.
We started Vecharged with a simple and powerful mission: to be the clearest, most honest, and most practical guide for your clean energy journey.
We believe that energy independence and sustainability shouldn’t be reserved for experts. We’re here to translate the complexities into clear, actionable advice, empowering you to save money, build a more resilient home, and join the clean energy revolution with confidence.
Our Story: An Initiative for Clarity
Vecharged is the consumer education platform of the Electricity Delivery Forum, an organization dedicated to the professional discussion of energy infrastructure and policy.
The experts at the Forum recognized a critical gap: while industry professionals had a place to discuss the future of the grid, there was no trusted resource dedicated to helping homeowners and consumers navigate these changes in their own lives.
Vecharged was created to fill that gap. We ground our practical, hands-on advice in a deep, foundational understanding of the broader energy landscape, ensuring our content is not only useful but also accurate and forward-looking.

I’m a writer and analyst who explores the clean energy transition, with a focus on electric vehicles and solar power.
My journey began five years ago as a firm skeptic. Determined to debunk the hype around EVs, my in-depth research led to an unexpected conclusion: the future I was questioning was already here. This realization didn’t just change my mind; it put me in the driver’s seat of my own EV.
Today, I’m passionate about sharing the clarity I found. I provide the practical, data-driven insights people need to feel confident and excited about navigating their own path to a sustainable future.
