  • Stepwise Tap™ is listed to UL916 Standard as an energy management system. This means that loads supplied by the Stepwise Tap add nothing to the total calculated load. The charging load will be omitted from the overall load-calculation per NEC Article 750.30 C.

  • Dynamic Load Management (DLM) optimizes electricity use by shifting electric capacity between appliances in real time. It prevents overloads, reduces costs, and enables efficient energy use. Stepwise uses DLM to let homeowners install EV chargers and other high-power devices without expensive panel upgrades.

    Today, Stepwise uses Dynamic Load Management on Level-2 chargers, including Wallbox, Tesla, and Grizz-le chargers. All other level 2 chargers and outlets can be load shed at this time. Additional chargers will be available for DLM in the near future.

  • Electricians using Stepwise have reported achieving higher hourly profit margins and a smoother installation experience when compared to a service upgrade.

  • Customers want to have options, particularly high value options that save them money while giving them what they need. Separate yourself from the competition and make yourself look good by having a Stepwise Tap in your back pocket.

  • Stepwise is quick to easy to install and practical for many use cases. Compared to a smart panel, which can cost >$10K to install, it is a fraction of the cost, and is designed by electricians for electricians.

  • Unlike traditional load management that simply turns devices on or off, Stepwise uses dynamic load management to intelligently adjust power in real-time. This ensures smooth EV charging and home electrification without disruptions or costly panel upgrades. Plus, our hardware is proudly manufactured in America, delivering reliable, high-quality technology
