Demand response management for electric vehicles is emerging as a pioneering solution, addressing the challenges associated with increasing EV adoption and contributing to the broader transition to a greener and more sustainable future. In simpler terms, think of demand response as a sort of allocation system for electric power.

Electric vehicles (EVs) are looking to be a huge part of our future. As it stands, the power grid is already run-down and outdated , built for the electric loads of a century ago, not for modern life. EV fleets could play a part in overloading the grid, or could wind up unable to charge.
