Base told me they save people money on their electricity bills, keep the lights on during power outages and strengthen the overall power grid.

I couldn’t understand how that was possible or why everyone wouldn’t switch to Base, so I wanted to find out for myself.

I’m now a customer, investor & endorser.

I toured the factory, met the team, visited a home install and asked a whole bunch of questions.

I went on the Base website and typed in my address to see how much they could save me on my electricity bill and it said 35%. I switched right there on the spot. No special VIP pricing, no endorsement trick, I literally logged on and did it myself on the regular website right from my phone.

The one question I kept coming back to was “Save money, protect your home during outages, help support the power grid. Why wouldn’t everyone want to get Base?”

I still haven’t found an answer to that yet.

Today they're launching Base Core, a new home battery fully designed by Base and built right here in Texas.
