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. This can lead to a huge variation in the grid power available, which can be a problem for power companies. 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.
