The Role of Power Utilities in Turning EVs into a Grid Asset – Part 2

Driivz

Smart EV charging uses chargers that communicate with a management platform via a data connection. In circumstances when supply is limited and time constraints apply, such as supporting on demand fast and superfast charging in the highway corridor, local solar energy generation and battery storage can fill in shortfalls from the grid.
