Hi, I’m Tom Moloughney

I’ve been driving EVs since 2009 and currently drive a Tesla Model 3. I’m a senior editor for the EV news website, InsideEVs, and a former Director for the world’s largest electric vehicle advocacy organization, Plug In America.

I’ve been reviewing electric vehicle charging equipment for over ten years and have tested most of the products available today. My goal with this site is to offer the most comprehensive reviews of EV charging equipment available anywhere, and to help consumers decide which charging equipment best serves their needs.
