As it stands, the power grid is already run-down and outdated , built for the electric loads of a century ago, not for modern life. Shifting to EVs poses a unique problem for the grid: a sudden, massive increase in demand that will be unpredictable and piecemeal. OpenADR can even turn fleet into an asset.
