This January 2021 report from EnergyHub presents a three phase EV management strategy that will ensure a safe and reliable grid. It is predicted that by 2030 more than 80% of the charging infrastructure will be residential and the strategy outlined here relies on smart charging stations that have the ability to capture charging behavior and provide load management capabilities. The components of the strategy include time-of-use (TOU) rates, an active event-based peak management, and automated managed charging that takes into account real-time grid and market constraints.
