TSEP#108 What is "smart charging" and how can electric car drivers benefit from it?
Smart charging is the intelligent way of thinking about electromobility. Electric cars are always charged when it makes economic sense. This includes charging electric cars at times when electricity is cheap as well as load management, i.e. the efficient charging of several electric cars at one location within an available connected load. Vehicle-to-grid makes charging really smart. Here, the electric car battery acts as a temporary storage device and helps stabilize the power grid. You benefit from lower costs when purchasing your electric car or the price of electricity. But what do you need to consider? What are the biggest differences? And what about cyber security? We talk about this with Baerte de Brey, Chief International Officer at ElaadNL and Vice President at AVERE - The European Association for Electromobility.
