Main Benefit: Turning EV Grid Risk into a $30 Billion Opportunity
The rapid growth of electric vehicles presents a huge challenge—and an even bigger opportunity—for the US grid. ev.energy’s new playbook, backed by research from The Brattle Group, lays out a clear, data-driven roadmap to turn this challenge into a $30 billion annual cost-avoidance opportunity. Here are some key takeaways:
- The Cost-Avoidance Stack: A proprietary framework showing how every actively managed EV can defer up to $575 in annual utility costs across six layers of the grid—from generation to distribution.
- The Full $30B Opportunity: A detailed analysis revealing how a portfolio approach can unlock this massive prize by 2035.
- Actionable Roadmaps: Clear, phased plans for utilities and regulators to accelerate progress and scale smart charging programs effectively.
- Principles for Success: The three core principles that separate stagnant pilots from fully scaled, impactful programs.
Simplifying Fleet Charging Management
Managing fleet charging can be a headache, but ev.energy’s platform simplifies it all. It tracks usage, streamlines reimbursements, and even helps fleets earn from energy system integration—all in one powerful solution. This means fleet operators can focus on what matters most, while the platform handles the complexities of charging management. It’s a game-changer for businesses looking to optimize their electric vehicle fleets without the usual hassle.
Efficiently Soaking Up Solar Power
ev.energy partners with solar manufacturers, distributors, and installers to integrate smart EV charging with solar power seamlessly. This means EV owners and businesses can soak up solar energy more efficiently, reducing reliance on the grid and maximizing green energy use. It’s a smart way to combine two clean technologies—solar and electric vehicles—to create a more sustainable energy ecosystem.
