It's great to see car OEMs integrating smart charging solutions directly into their EVs. ev.energy’s platform allows users to automatically optimise for a range of smart and dynamic tariffs and on-site solar, while responding to local and (inter)national grid needs in flex markets.

"For the approximate one-third of households across these countries without driveways, the running costs of an EV remain a major barrier to widespread adoption.
Dynamic pricing, where electricity prices vary based on supply and demand, presents an opportunity to allow households to access cheaper electricity when renewables are abundant."

Linking EV charging and renewables in location and time unleashes additional benefits for the energy transition. How can we make the most of existing data and tools like smart charging?

In my new Regulatory Assistance Project brief, I explore the EU's REDIII and how countries can take the next step.

Smart EV charging integrates more renewable energy

The largest source of flexibility is modelled to be electric vehicles (EVs), including cars, vans and trucks, with and .

Demand side flexibility capacities at peak. V2G and EVs combined provide 51 GW of demand flexibility and are the largest source of any flexibility capacity (including supply side) in Holistic Transition.

Smart charging of EVs: -83% peak reduction
Heat pumps: -36%

And excellent textbox on demand flexibility as a choice: not everyone has the same ability to engage. Automation and smart tariffs can help, but consumers must be assured these tools are on their side.

2. Demand flexibility
Enabling demand flexibility empowers households and businesses, which can lower consumer costs and accelerate the shift to a cleaner, smarter energy future.
A net zero energy system will rely upon flexibility in both supply and demand. Demand flexibility benefits both consumers and the energy system, getting more from low-cost renewable generation.
It can offer households and businesses greater resilience against exposure to volatile prices and help reduce energy costs. Greater uptake of demand flexibility also means less need for infrastructure investment, reducing the deployment of energy storage.
Households and businesses could help reduce peak demand by up to 54% peak demand reduction (2050). Smart charging could shift EV peak demand by 83%, while heat pumps could shift their peak by 36%.
Demand flexibility as a choice. It is important to consider consumers or businesses unable to manually shift energy use (for example, due to work patterns, caring responsibilities or how they operate). Smart technologies and automation can make it easier, but consumer trust that these tools are reliable, secure and on their side is key. Access to demand flexibility relies upon access to low carbon technologies and innovation in smart energy tariffs and offerings.

Wer hat gesagt, dass das Laden eines Elektroautos nicht auch Spaß machen kann? 😄 Manchmal muss man eine kurze Pause einlegen, um den Akku aufzufüllen, aber hey, dafür kann ich meine Beine vertreten und vielleicht sogar ein spannendes Buch lesen! 📚🚗🔌 Wie seht ihr das: Ladestopp als Erholung oder Frust? Lasst mal hören!

Interesting new aggregator for consumer flexibility in Norway: reduce the load on the power grid with your EV, for example, and earn between NOK 500 and NOK 4,000 (€40 - €440) per year. Works with any energy supplier (and soon also with the Norgespris capped electricity price).

A 75% reduction in charging costs compared to immediate charging, and 60% compared to charging during off-peak hours at a standard rate. Per truck 🚛 , an annual saving of €3,000 by purchasing market electricity. This is demonstrated by this successful French project.

If you build it, they will come.

UK DSO National Grid Energy Distribution has worked to remove barriers for consumer energy resources participating in its local flexibility market. With great success, over 50% of all chargers in its area are now registered.

"So, for example, your thermostat can reduce its energy use when prices are higher, and your EV can generate a charging schedule based on forecasted prices to save you money."

In Europe, various car brands work with partners to develop their own branded smart charging apps/brands, such as Renault (Mobilize), Hyundai and this example from Ford Europe:

For a long time, it was thought that smart charging required the charging point to be made ‘smart’. However, the significant growth of smart charging – including in Europe – lies in car connectivity. This creates the best and most logical user experience and makes a fleet of EVs grid-responsive.

Great example of how ⚡ (delivery) fleets can be made smarter by optimising charging based on dynamic energy prices and renewables, as well as providing FRR grid support.

This saves operating costs for the fleet operator and lowers energy system costs for all.
