Renewable energy can also be under-utilized when the wind is blowing and the sun is shining, but demand is lower than supply. Companies can reduce costs by using locally generated renewable energy, typically solar, to power EV charging instead of grid electricity. On the other hand, between peaks are periods of under-utilized capacity.

The grid draws on the vehicle’s stored energy and then directs energy back to the vehicle to recharge the battery, so it is ready for usage when needed. Similarly, EV owners can use their vehicles to power their homes during hours of peak demand and set the vehicle to recharge during hours of non-peak demand, such as early morning hours.
