What are the advantages of smart charging?

To lessen and control the impact of EVs on the electrical infrastructure, smart charging involves changing the time of day when an electric car charges or modifying the rate of charge. This cutting-edge method of pricing helps consumers and maximizes the usage of clean power.

The effects on the grid network of EV charging (or discharging) might be severe. Without smart charging, EV charging is likely to take place during current power grid peak periods, which are when many people return from work (usually between 5pm-7pm). In order to fulfil demand, this would need drastic increases in both system and electricity generation capacity, with the expenses borne by the customers.

The ability to control or postpone charging might improve system equilibrium and reduce the need for expensive network improvements.

Customers may benefit from this through lower electricity rates or other incentives like prizes. Furthermore, EV owners no longer need to manually connect and unplug their vehicles because they may change their charging preferences remotely using apps.

Since EV smart charging is designed to shift power usage away from current peaks, it ensures that the supply and demand of electricity are more evenly balanced.
