Would you consider buying a home battery system that also charges your EV?
Lunar Energy unveiled a 25-kW home DC fast charger that adds about 100 miles of range in one hour. The company says its next-generation home battery system will reach customers in early 2027.
Why it matters
Because the charger links directly to the battery's DC side, homeowners may be able to add fast EV charging without upgrading their electrical panel. Lunar also says its AI software can time battery charging and power supply around electricity prices and weather forecasts.
The Lunar Fast Charger outputs 25 kW and supports CCS and NACS connectors, per the product page. Pricing and certification status were not disclosed in the available information.
The players
Lunar Energy
Lunar Energy is a U.S. company that makes home battery storage and energy management systems, with engineering in Mountain View, California.
The details
The charger connects directly to the DC side of the Lunar Battery, avoiding an electrical panel upgrade. Lunar AI uses electricity prices, weather forecasts, and a property's energy use to decide when to charge batteries or supply power.
Timeline
Mid-2027: Expected rollout of the Lunar Fast Charger.
Early 2027: Next-generation Lunar battery system expected to be available to customers.
Roadmap
Home DC fast charging fits into the broader push to make EVs double as home energy resources through vehicle-to-home (V2H) charging. With a compatible EV, V2H can extend backup power through a multi-day outage, which places home charging hardware at the center of the EV transition.
Homeowners with a compatible EV could use the system for backup power during an outage, and the direct-to-battery connection may avoid a costly panel upgrade. Pricing and availability details were not disclosed, so buyers should wait for official pricing before budgeting.
The takeaway
Home charging is becoming a two-way energy resource, so EV owners weighing a home charger may want to ask whether it can also supply backup power. Confirm pricing, connector compatibility, and installation requirements before committing.
What happens next
Lunar Energy expects to release its next-generation home battery system to customers in early 2027, with the charger rollout expected in mid-2027.
