Although networked "smart" chargers may seem convenient and cost-effective, they can introduce a range of potential vulnerabilities that can significantly impact fleet operations.
Fleet charging management may not be the most glamorous segment of the EV industry, but it is emerging as an extremely important component of the future EV ecosystem. As commercial fleets electrify, they are finding that they need expert help to design, install and operate their charging infrastructure.
The smart or deferrable charging station mode models the intelligent charging of a car or a fleet of cars to minimize the cost. The smartcharger allows project developers to leverage HOMER Grid's capability to model demand charge reduction in any distributed renewable energy system and apply this to an EV charging station.
Jordan Brompton, co-founder and CMO of myenergi, addresses concerns from the Association of Fleet Professionals (AFP) over rising public charging costs, questions whether high prices are really having a negative impact on vehicle sales, and explains the numerous solutions available for drivers to embrace more cost effective charging options.
It said that it will be helping the businesses set up charging stations for fleets and would “co-invest with industry” to install an estimated 50,000 smartchargers in homes. However before the last election in 2019, Morrison denied his support for electric vehicles at a press conference in Melbourne.
Some people even invest in smartchargers that apply extra power when it gets too cold outside. The post How To Survive the Winter Driving an EV first appeared on Clean Fleet Report. It’s also possible to take advantage of public charging stations or charging programs offered by certain retail stores.
EV owners can install smartchargers at home and capture savings through participating in a utility’s Demand Response program for EV charging. Consumers can plug their cars in when they get home from work and set the smartcharger to charge the EV during off-peak hours, typically late at night or in the morning.
Also, it could be used by consumers as a way to help reduce the timeline for paying off the car to actually become—especially in the case of fleets—a revenue source as opposed to a cost center. ” Charged : That sounds like an argument for having a smartcharger instead of just a plain old non-networked charger.
Whether you are an EV fleet manager with hundreds of chargers or the owner of a handful of chargers located on your commercial, retail or residential property, smart EV charging allows you to optimize costs and increase charging reliability and stability. Advantages of the cloud approach include: Unlimited scalability.
This makes the topic of managed EV charging important to all stakeholders , from the utilities that generate electricity through all the EV fleet, building, and public charging operators that deliver it to the vehicles to the drivers. Smart charging refers to the level of technology in the charger hardware itself.
What is Smart Energy Management for EV Charging? How do EV Smart Charging and Smart Energy Management Work? What EV Drivers Want from Smart Charging? Advantages of Smart Energy Management for Fleets. Smart EV Charging in Commercial and Industrial Buildings. Smart EV Charging and Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G).
New Zealand currently has 4 million passenger cars in its fleet, the vast majority of which are fuelled by petrol and diesel. The government itself has set a target to have 30% of the light fleet electric by 2035. EV smart charging could save the New Zealand economy close to $3 billion by 2035.
The management platform can direct charging using a demand-response solution so that charging takes place when the grid load is lower – for example, in the early morning hours for home and fleet depot charging. It enables bi-directional charging and the two-way flow of energy between EVs, smartchargers, and the grid.
Now the vast majority are smartchargers with that cellular component. We have direct access to the chargers. The one area I haven’t yet seen this move taking place is on the heavy-duty, fleet vehicle side. Some would say, “Hey, I don’t care about the data, I just want people to be able to plug in and charge.”
Also, it could be used by consumers as a way to help reduce the timeline for paying off the car to actually become—especially in the case of fleets—a revenue source as opposed to a cost center. Charged : That sounds like an argument for having a smartcharger instead of just a plain old non-networked charger.
Christian: Now you have a Level 2 EV charger that integrates with your system. It is a Level 2, 48-amp smartcharger with a 25-foot cable. Shawn: Yeah, we’re super-excited about it. It’s our newest addition. And if you look at other products with similar specs, they’re $700 or just under.
Charged : With this partnership between Siemens and ConnectDER, you’ll have a smartcharger that talks to the meter collar and then balances the power of the whole system. Siemens is also in the commercial and fleet charging space as well, correct? We’re already hard at work on this stuff. Is that the idea? Chris: Yes.

The government itself has set a target to have 30% of the light fleet electric by 2035. EV smart charging could save the New Zealand economy close to $3 billion by 2035.7 Drivers of the strategy 2.1
Design and Development of Bidirectional charger 2. Smart selection of charging pattern. If you connect EV to the grid and you need it fully charged by next-day morning, the smartcharger should decide when to flow current to the battery and when to flow from the battery to the grid.
