The proportion of grid electricity generated by renewables such as wind and solar energy fluctuates depending on how hard the wind is blowing or how strong the sun is shining. 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.

When David Cameron’s energy bill was being discussed in Parliament in 2013, the word on everybody’s lips was ‘trilemma’: how to ensure that energy was affordable, reliable and low-carbon. So the only way to make renewables reliable is to back them up, expensively, with some other power source, responding to fluctuations in demand and supply.
