Under the terms of an agreement signed today at the COP21 Paris conference, Eneco subsidiary Jedlix will develop a version of its existing smart charging app, adapting it to Renault’s ZOE EV. It is also important to prevent power grid overloads as a result of peaks in demand if all the cars would be charged at the same time.
