Smart charging

The term Smart Charging refers to a charging system for electric cars that manages energy in an optimized, efficient, and intelligent manner. Its operation is based on smart grids, intelligent communication and energy distribution networks, which allow for the exchange of information between the electric grid, the electric vehicle, and the charging device. Thanks to this system, it is possible to charge one's EV by regulating the flow of received current based on: energy cost, demand on the electric grid, and user preferences. Smart Charging allows for deferred charging, real-time modulated charging, and integration with renewable energy sources, such as photovoltaics.

It is therefore possible to schedule the charging of one's car during the most convenient time slots, such as nighttime, when other appliances operate at low consumption, or during peak solar exposure hours of panels, in the case of a photovoltaic system. The goal of Smart Charging is to maximize electric charging safely and intelligently, distributing energy to avoid overloads and damage to the electrical system during peak consumption.
