How Smart EV Charging Will Help Promote Renewable Power Generation

Wallbox

JANUARY 4, 2021

A smart EV charger will enable an EV to be charged when weather conditions allow and there is a surfeit of low carbon, low cost power available. Similarly, because a smart EV charger can adapt charging speed and time, it can also help minimise demand on the grid when renewable-generated power is low.

EV Info

MARCH 26, 2021

Having an EV you learn about the basics of electric power, charge rates and kilowatt-hours or KWh. . For example the LEAF has a 24 KWh battery pack, and a full pack is good for around 100 miles. Very basic maths gives the LEAF a power usage of close to 4 miles per KWh. In other words, power is energy per unit of time.
