Smart Charging and Real-World Applications

Smart charging allows the control of vehicle charging by adjusting charging speeds up, down, or even off to correlate with the needs of the grid. Smart charging can be a powerful resource to provide a balanced power supply that can be increasingly diverse, renewable and controlled based on demand. Several pilots are underway to develop an understanding and the best practices for preventing electric vehicles from overwhelming the power grid.

Our panelists will highlight real-world pilots and projects. This webinar will explore lessons learned from these pilots, current trends, and more.
