From passive to active: Managed charging opportunities in the US
By 2030, there will be over 26 million electric vehicles (EVs) on U.S. roads, driving a significant increase in peak household electricity demand from at-home charging. This surge presents challenges and opportunities for utilities looking for smart solutions that are a win-win-win for customers, the grid, and the planet.
Managed charging solutions have become widespread and proven successful in optimizing EV charging when energy is most abundant and cheap. While many industry stakeholders are well-versed in these passive charging strategies, this session will shift the focus to the dynamic and transformative possibilities of active charging management, including software-driven optimization for V1G and vehicle-to-grid (V2G).
Join experts from Kaluza, PG&E, and the California Electric Transportation Coalition as they explore how active charging technologies are crucial for future-proofing the grid. Gain insights from Kaluza’s successful smart charging initiatives across the UK, US, Australia, and Japan, and learn about their ongoing V1G and V2G trials with PG&E and Wallbox in California.
