Span Drive

Award: Best Energy Efficient Product wha

As the popularity of electric vehicles rises, so does the number of people who want an electric vehicle charger in their home garage. And according to the judges at IBS 2023, the Span Drive is the clear choice for at-home EV charging.

Typically, installing a fast-charging EV charger in a garage requires an electrical service upgrade. That’s not the case with the Span Drive. The Drive is an add-on to the company’s cutting-edge electrical panel. By combining the Span Panel and Drive, homeowners can charge EVs at a blistering rate of 41 miles of range per hour without changing their electrical.

GE Profile UltraFast Combo

Award: Best Home Technology Product

Doing two things at once is always a good thing — as long as both things are done well. Luckily, the new GE Profile UltraFast Combo is a two-in-one washer/dryer that performs both tasks to perfection.

The UltraFast Combo features a high-airflow ventless drying system that GE claims is 50% more efficient than required for Energy Star certification among standard dryers. The system offers convenience, too, allowing the washer/dryer combo to be installed without external venting.
