First, you’ll need to get a permit from your local government to connect to the grid. Smart charging connects charging points with users and operators (yourself) to optimize energy consumption. This turns EV batteries into a source for power storage that can be leveraged to balance energy capacity in your condo.

Smart EV charging uses intelligence to manage when and how an electric vehicle plugged into a smart charger will receive power for charging based on the cost of electricity, its availability, and the needs of the driver. Consumers have been lowering their power demands for more than a decade by adding solar panels to their roofs.

And in a true smart grid, electric cars will not only be able to draw on electricity to run their motors, they will also be able to do the reverse: send electricity stored in their batteries back into the grid when it is needed. In effect, cars would be acting like tiny power stations. We will own the battery.
