Neighborhood charging, explained

What is peer-to-peer EV charging?

Peer-to-peer (P2P) EV charging lets electric-vehicle drivers charge at private Level 2 chargers owned by everyday people — neighbors — instead of relying on public stations. Hosts share the charger in their driveway; drivers book and pay in an app. JuiceNet is a nationwide peer-to-peer charging network, most active in the Seattle area.

Also called neighborhood or community charging

Works with any EV — J1772 & NACS (Tesla)

Why peer-to-peer charging matters

Many drivers can’t charge where they live, and public stations are often full, broken, or far. Peer-to-peer charging turns underused home chargers into a reliable, affordable network.

Reliable
book ahead

Reserve a specific charger for a specific time — no driving to a public station hoping it’s free and working.

Affordable
host-set price

Neighborhood charging is often cheaper than public fast-charging, and you see the host’s price up front.

Everywhere
any home charger

Every home Level 2 charger can join the network, bringing charging to neighborhoods public stations never reach.

Questions

Peer-to-peer EV charging — FAQ

What is peer-to-peer EV charging?
Peer-to-peer EV charging is a model where EV drivers charge at private Level 2 chargers owned by individuals — typically neighbors — instead of at public charging stations. Hosts list their home charger, and drivers reserve and pay for a session through an app like JuiceNet.
How is peer-to-peer charging different from public charging?
Public charging relies on commercial stations that can be occupied, broken, or far away. Peer-to-peer charging uses private home chargers you can book in advance for a guaranteed time, usually at a lower, host-set price.
Is peer-to-peer EV charging safe?
Yes. Every session is booked and paid through the app, hosts control who charges and when, and drivers use standard Level 2 equipment — the same charging a home charger already does, just shared.
Can I make money with peer-to-peer charging?
Yes. If you own a Level 2 home charger, you can host it on JuiceNet, set your own price, and earn from the hours it would otherwise sit idle.
What kind of charger do I need?
Any Level 2 charger works, whether it uses the J1772 or NACS (Tesla) connector. An inexpensive adapter bridges the two, so any EV or plug-in hybrid can charge.
How do I try peer-to-peer charging?
Download the JuiceNet app to find and book a charger near you, or list your own charger to start earning as a host.
