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.

Under normal conditions, this stabilizing technology will be particularly important as the power grid is expected to rely more and more on variable renewable resources such as wind and solar technologies. First, reducing the cost of integrating variable renewable generation reduces the electricity costs for all ratepayers.

Together the companies will add a layer of intelligence and convenience to the charging process, allowing EV drivers to access, charge and pay, using an identification card. This project is bolstered by Ireland’s energy policy to increase sustainable energy use in the transportation sector by 2020.

The same approach can balance the flow of power between chargers at a workplace or destination, where cars are parked for relatively long time periods, to avoid grid overload during peak energy use. In the not-so-distant future, the batteries in millions of EVs can become an integral component of a renewable energy ecosystem.

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.
