EV Charging: WeaveGrid–Preparing Utilities for the Coming EV Boom

Clean Fleet Report

This transition will have a big impact on how utility companies deliver the energy needed to charge all of these new battery-powered cars. WeaveGrid’s mission is to drive rapid decarbonization in global transport and power sectors by intelligently connecting electric vehicles to the grid. That’s where WeaveGrid comes in.

CMU study finds controlled EV charging can reduce generation cost, but at greater health and environmental costs depending upon the generation mix

Green Car Congress

Results from the study also suggest that with sufficient coal plant retirement and sufficient wind power, controlled charging could result in positive net benefits instead of negative. Reduction in annual generation cost and external emissions costs due to controlled charging compared to uncontrolled charging ($2010).
