Smart Charging
Electric vehicles are set to revolutionise the transport sector around the world. This will lead to a huge increase in demand for electricity …. how can ePump help?
ePump has connected and controlled charging technologies that allow us to shift the time of the charge to accommodate an electricity system benefit.We can look at this on two levels.It could be a local level. At a location, car park or street you may have 20 different vehicles wanting to be charged at one time. So you might have to balance the load between the different ePump chargers at that particular time. ePump allows you to do this.Or there could be grid level constraints and we need to make sure that we are balancing our supply and demand.
