We had another great evening with the AustinEV community at our July High Voltage Happy Hour on Thursday, July 17th at Hopsquad Brewing Co. in North Austin. About a dozen EV drivers and enthusiasts came out to connect, share ideas, and enjoy the laid-back setting.
💬 A Community Growing One Meetup at a Time
Our monthly happy hours are meant to be casual, welcoming spaces for anyone interested in electric vehicles—whether you’re an EV owner, curious about switching, or just want to chat with others in the community.
One of the recurring themes that came up during our conversations was how many factors are converging right now—from new EV models and federal/state incentives, to evolving infrastructure and broader policy shifts. This convergence is making it an especially important time to share information, ask questions, and explore the wide range of choices available to current and future EV owners. As we look ahead to the coming year, opportunities for collaboration, learning, and impact are only growing.
🔌 Meet Supersun Electrical Services
We were pleased to welcome Gabe and Jessie Lensing , the team behind Supersun Electrical Services. As a young Austin-based startup, Supersun is already making a mark in the EV space under the guidance of Gabe, a licensed master electrician with deep technical experience.
They’re also a Tesla-certified installer for EV charging and battery storage. What really stood out was their education-first approach—helping customers better understand home electrification options. And while they don’t focus on solar installations, they will get you solar-ready.
We’re excited to see how their thoughtful, customer-focused strategy develops—and glad to have them part of the AustinEV community!
