McKinsey Research shows that unmanaged, load-increases from EV-charging-power-demand may eventually push local transformers beyond their capacity, requiring expensive infrastructure upgrades. EV smart charging ensures the safe delivery of power to EVs without compromising on delivering electricity to offices, campuses and homes.

Fleet managers should use smart energy management software to optimize charging operations and minimize electricity costs, ensuring TCO by monitoring, managing, and adjusting energy consumption. Then use that stored energy to charge EVs during peak times. and can include penalties for exceeding peak demand limits.

In order to store electricity generated at night, windmill operators need to install sodium-sulfur battery systems, which are as costly as power generators. Mitsubishi reportedly is looking to commercialize the technology for locations with small grids such as remote islands by setting up electric-vehicle charging stations near windmills.
