Smart charging refers to the technology that optimizes the charging process of electric vehicles (EVs) by adjusting the power flow based on various factors. This can include the availability of renewable energy sources, electricity demand, and the specific needs of the vehicle. By managing when and how much energy is supplied, smart charging helps reduce costs and minimize strain on the electrical grid. Additionally, smart charging systems can communicate with charging stations and utility companies to ensure efficient energy use. This technology not only supports the integration of more renewable energy into the grid but also enhances the overall user experience for EV owners.
