Different Advantages Of Smart Charging

Smart EV charging service can be changed: it is easy to add and remove features and form a system that suits your needs.

FREMONT, CA: Smart EV charging or intelligent charging indicates a system where a charging device and an electric vehicle share a data connection, and the charging gadget shares data linked with a charging operator.

As opposed to regular (or dumb) charging devices that aren't linked to the cloud, smart charging enables the charging station holder to monitor, manage, and restrict the use of their devices distantly to optimize energy consumption.

With cloud-based solutions, only the sky is the limit (pun intended). Smart EV charging service can be changed: it is easy to add and remove features and form a system that suits your needs. New characteristics can also be included and updated to existing charging stations. Hence smart EV charging is also future-proof. Varying demands and hopes will become new features and be added to the smart system as the globe keeps evolving.

Electric cars linked to the grid with smart charging produce a symbiosis with the power grid — they support each other. This connection wouldn't exist without smart charging, and EVs could burden the grid.

The Advantages Of Smart Charging

Intelligent charging is particularly beneficial, even important, for the energy market. But good things come in mass: smartness is profitable for electric car drivers, charging station owners and network operators.

Here's how EV drivers, businesses and charging networks can use a smart electric vehicle charging solution.

 Benefits to EV drivers

As an EV driver with admission to smart charging, you'll:

1. Find available charging stations for EVs.

Find available charging points on a mobile app and book your charging spot. The mobile application shows you details about the charging power and price and real-time data regarding the availability of charging stations.

2. Charge faster

The smart device will spontaneously use the maximum amount of energy available. The utmost charging power of most smart devices is 22 kW. Quick charging stations can charge even with the highest power of 150kW.

3. Charge safer

A smart charging device is much more secure and carefree than a household socket. Smart devices naturally test the link between your vehicle and the device before charging. All charging events are being observed and can be controlled remotely.

4. Avoid arguments with neighbors.

Dodge unnecessary arguments and fights on energy intake between neighbors, as intake data can be readily traced back to the proper person. With smart charging, each EV driver is billed after charging per the station's pricing.

 It all takes place automatically: neither you, as an EV driver, nor the charging point owner, has to be concerned about payments. Automated billing is about customer recognition. Therefore the charging event starts when you have successfully designated yourself at the station through the mobile application, RFID tags or the one-time fee service.

5. Save money — and the environment.

You'll also save money and safeguard the environment by automatically improving the timing of your charging event to support charging when electricity is at its cheapest. Improving the charging event to occur during the low electricity consumption hours is cheaper and supports balancing the grid.

 The number of EV drivers keeps increasing, and more flexibility will be required. Energy companies can even offer incentives to EV drivers for charging with less power, timing their charging events at minimum consumption hours or allowing their car batteries to be momentarily utilized as power reserves.
