How Smart EV Charging Will Help Promote Renewable Power Generation

Wallbox

But, if householders and businesses can be flexible about when they charge their EVs, then they can help to balance the grid and support renewable power generation. Until recently most power stations relied on coal and gas to power generators. Now countries’ electrical grids are increasingly powered by renewables.

Mad Power thoughts

EV Info

Wind farms stand idle for days on end, a fire interrupts a vital cable from France, a combination of post-Covid economic recovery and Russia tightening supply means the gas price has shot through the roof – and so the market price of both home heating and electricity is rocketing. Gas is the only answer. Climate Change.
