EV managed charging: Finding a program design that works

Today, there are more EVs on the road than ever. This is a step in the right direction for decarbonization — but what happens when an entire neighborhood plugs in at once? The answer is unexpected demand peaks and localized grid strain that can damage key infrastructure.

Thankfully, managed charging programs can help utilities incentivize EV charging schedules that benefit customers and the grid. However, designing an EV managed charging program that is scalable, cost-effective, and customer-friendly can take some trial and error.

In this on-demand webinar, we bring together managed charging leaders from APS, Evergy, SMECO, and EnergyHub to share how they’ve:

• Balanced passive vs. active EV charging control strategies in their programs
• Navigated technology choices like integrations, telematics, and hardware
• Optimized driver enrollment and engagement tactics
• Measured results and transitioned out of the pilot stage

You’ll hear candid insights from utilities that have taken very different approaches, giving you a clearer sense of what’s possible and what works.
