FCC Ban on Foreign-Made Connected Solar Inverters Impacts US EV Charging Future
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) recently added foreign-made connected power inverters to its Covered List, effectively blocking their import and sale in the U.S. While ostensibly targeting the radios within these devices, this move could have significant ripple effects on the availability and cost of home EV charging solutions tied to solar installations, particularly given the reliance on foreign components. This regulatory action impacts not only solar energy but also the broader infrastructure supporting electric vehicle adoption.
