After installing a Level 2 EV car charger at his house, Aaron Lieberman realized he only needed to use the charger one night a week. Other than that, the station was completely unused. This was Lieberman’s moment of inspiration – and the impetus behind his new business.
Buzze is a neighborhood EV (electric vehicle) charging app with over 150 “fast Level 2 EV chargers” located at people’s homes across the Valley. Like Airbnb for EV charging, Buzze lets anyone with a home charger list it on the app – and get paid.
“These Buzze hosts can generate extra income, up to $400 a month, by offering charging at home,” Marketing Exec Candace Youde said. “At the same time, any driver who needs a charge has access to hundreds of chargers, many of which are located in the neighborhood.”
All level 2 EV chargers are unused 95 percent of the time, according to Youde. Buzze’s mission is to create a network to help those who are ‘charging challenged’ get one million new EVs to the road, which would remove 4.6 million metric tons of carbon dioxide from the air annually.
Those interested can download the app, which shows drivers a map of nearby Level 2 charging hosts to select from. Then, they can schedule a charging appointment. The driver arrives at the host’s home to charge their vehicle.
The app then meters the charge through the car’s telematics to determine the payment. Buzze charges the driver and compensates the host for the energy used, allowing them to earn additional income – even if they’re not home.
Buzze is an Arizona startup with national ambitions to encourage individuals to switch to electric vehicles and promote sustainable transportation options.
Lieberman’s name may sound familiar to some. He is a former Arizona State Representative who served for three years before running for governor in 2022. He’s also an Arcadia resident who hopes to expand Buzze to new markets in the near future.
“The company’s initial geographic focus is the greater Phoenix area,” she said. “Just through word of mouth, Buzze currently has almost 100 hosts in 30 states outside of Arizona, and 160+ hosts in our state.”
The ultimate goal of this company is to build a community of “drivers helping drivers.”
“Buzze hopes to encourage the adoption of electric vehicles and contribute to a cleaner and more sustainable future. For the 40 percent of Americans who rent their home, the high install costs of level 2 home chargers mean they will not be able to access fast home charging,” Youde said.
Earn extra money, help out a neighbor, and lower the carbon footprint simultaneously – this is Buzze’s ultimate goal.
