The best climate products are planet-centric meaning they strike a balance of solving human, environmental, social and other challenges.

I deconstruct world-class products making a dent by solving environmental, social and economic challenges.

Channing Street Copper had the insights and industry knowledge to consider the complex landscape of issues at the intersection of home electrification and the popularity of gas stoves to build the Tesla Roadster of induction stove.

  • Charlies is an induction stove with a back-up battery this battery. It is a resilient appliance allowing you to cook even in a blackout and power your other home appliances.

  • This is about building a better cooking experience than gas stoves offer. faster boiling with more control fit for a professional chef.

  • Saves money by avoiding outlet and panel upgrades and shifting energy time of use to save on monthly bills.

  • Benefits the climate by switching a key gas appliance to electric.

  • Health benefits by improving indoor air quality by removing gas from the home.

  • America has a shortage of electricians to handle the complex upgrades needed to electrify the grid with our current products. Simplifying our products as the Copper team has for a basic install helps lighten this challenge.

  • By bringing batteries into the home in a common appliance like a stove, this act popularizes batteries in a manner that has escaped selling stand-alone batteries to date.

  • Channing Street Copper has a future opportunity to leverage their network of batteries they are deploying into an intelligent micro-grid that can support grid resilience helping to even out demand and generation of energy.

  • The stoves are expensive, this is the Tesla Roadster moment for induction stoves with batteries, however it does qualify for home battery tax rebate making it 30% cheaper.
