Tap controls one high-load circuit while monitoring your panel to prevent overloads—so you can safely add things like EV chargers or hot tubs without a costly service upgrade.
Tap isn’t a charger—it’s the brain that makes installing one possible (and affordable) when your electrical panel is out of capacity.
Most controllers just turn power on and off—hard stops that strain your system. Tap acts like a dimmer switch, smoothly adjusting power for safer, smarter charging with less wear on your home.
Tap can save thousands versus upgrading your electrical panels—install in under an hour. Prevents upgrades from:
- 100Amp to 200A
- 200A to 400A

Access troubleshooting tips and technical details for Tap installations.

Tap works with 100–200A panels. It’s charger-agnostic and non-proprietary—use it with Wallbox, Tesla, Grizzl-E, Emporia, and more.
- For Panel side monitoring: Up to 200A
- For Load side controls: 60A max (48A continuous)
EV chargers, hot tubs, pool pumps, resistive HVAC, water heaters—anything high-load. Reach out if you have a unique use case.
No. Load control works offline. Wi-Fi is only needed for dynamic control (OCPP with Tesla) and firmware updates.
Stepwise Tap is a UL-listed Energy Management System. When properly installed, it allows you to omit the EV load from NEC load calculations per Article 750.30(C). Depending on the state you live in, you can also omit other resistive loads from the load calculation.
