New report: Managed EV charging can double the number of EVs the electrical grid can support
A favorite trope of the anti-EV crowd is that EVs will “crash the grid.” None of the utility execs we’ve spoken to share that fear, but it is true that unmanaged charging can exacerbate the problem of peak power demand. The answer is managed charging, which schedules charging for off-peak times. EnergyHub, a provider of… Read more »
