The Role of Power Utilities in Turning EVs into a Grid Asset – Part 1

Driivz

EDITOR’S NOTE: This is the first installment in our two-part blog series on the role of utilities in turning EVs into a grid asset. We set the stage by examining EV adoption trends, the impact of EV charging on the grid, and the risks of unmanaged EV charging. . Which statement is correct? Utilities in the U.S.

The 2020 International Energy Agency’s Global EV Outlook projects that by 2030, the share of electricity going towards EV charging could rise to as high as 4–10% at peak demand. V2G returns the energy stored in EV batteries to the grid. V2G returns the energy stored in EV batteries to the grid.

How Businesses and Building Owners Can Save on Energy Costs with Smart EV Charging and Energy Management

Driivz

Some estimates suggest that on a global level, EV charging will only account for about 4% of total demand for electricity by 2030. Companies can reduce costs by using locally generated renewable energy, typically solar, to power EV charging instead of grid electricity. What are the benefits of smart EV energy management?

COP27 Ends – How can Smart Energy Management for EV Charging Help?

Driivz

Delegates from nearly 200 countries also agreed that greenhouse gas emissions need to be cut nearly in half by 2030 and reaffirmed the goal of containing global warming to 1.5 Globally, power generation accounts for about 30% of all (GHG) emissions. Smart energy management works by optimizing the use of existing grid capacity.

Self-Generation Nation – Solar Sales Soar Amid Escalating Energy Costs

My Energi

Key factors behind this hike included a cold summer, meaning less gas was stored for winter use; fewer pipelines were delivered than predicted; and energy generation across Europe was far lower than in previous years. Each of our products help households to consume more of their self-generated energy and minimise reliance on the grid.

How Smart Energy Management for EV Charging Is Connected to the COP26 UN Climate Change Conference

Driivz

We found ourselves thinking about how Smart Energy Management for EV charging is connected to the COP26 UN Climate Change Conference; Countries from around the world continue to focus on reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as a key strategy for reducing the rate of global warming.

Why Smart Energy Management is Critical for EV Fleet Success

Driivz

In fact, EVs are expected to make up 31% of the global fleet by 2050. However, in the big picture, environmental gains from EVs may be offset by stressing the grid. Grid operators must either purchase additional energy on the open market to cover shortfalls or divert energy from other customers. What is smart energy management?
