According to an interview from TechCrunch, Tupper said that

“With Hyundai Home, we’re really trying to democratize EV charging and being able to adopt an electric vehicle, but the entire ecosystem around it. We want to make it easy for customers to go solar to get energy storage and eventually use all those systems to reduce their energy bills.
