Grid Management. In addition to charging station deployment, AI is also being used for electricity grid management. In January 2021, Google introduced a then-new AI tool that helped drivers plan out routes based on the available public chargers between their starting points and their destinations. Trip Planning.

Preheating your car when it’s still plugged in is highly recommended–this will use energy from the power grid instead of taking from the battery’s reserves, saving valuable energy for driving. Make sure your de-icing spray is always readily available so you don’t have any unwelcome surprises as winter approaches!

But the efforts to ensure charging is available to enable the takeoff of plug-in cars has become bogged down. Given the distance most commuters travel, charging at level 1 at work enables most drivers to get back all the juice expended getting to work. Level 2 charge stations at Walgreen’s will not get asses in EVs.

The Google example of an expensive networked, free Level 2 charger in every employee’s slot is unrealistic, unaffordable and unnecessary in the real world. It’s also grid-friendly. The DOE needs keep foremost in mind that their own mission is to increase the availability of workplace charging, and not presume that means Level 2.

Once weve consolidated everything to depend on the grid, we can clean up everything by cleaning up the grid. Once electric cars are more common, demand for electricity will rise, and electricity producers will have to look at big generators such as dams, nuclear stations or decentralised wind turbines that feed in to the grid.

Vehicle to Grid (V2G) technology is a bi-directional electric grid interface that allows a plug-in to take energy from the grid or put it back on the grid. Smart Grid City will use a realtime high-speed two-way communication throughout the distribution grid. Smart meters and substations will be integral.

Since rapid charge times come on the condition of available outlets, higher-voltage charging infrastructure would need to be put in place — built over the course of years — to facilitate the charge times some automakers are shooting for. The company says its charge spots would have voltage on par with standard household outlets.
