“We have been preparing for a long time, as we have been discussing the best way to work for the change of green transport with the Government, the electricity distribution companies – which transport energy from the grid to homes and businesses – service station operators and chargers. point providers for more than two years “.
According to LeasePlan, an 18-month smart charging test that included 700 drivers, saw an increase in electricity demand at 10 p.m., as charging points were connected after rush hour.
To avoid this, the new units will randomly postpone off-peak charging sessions by 10 minutes and allow utility companies to extend it to half an hour if network demand is high.
Again, users will be able to cancel delays and units configured to automatically respond to network demand will not need to have this feature enabled.
