PLMAEV Symposium: EV Charging and Grid Management Insights

⚡️💰 Can multiple grid benefits be drawn from your EV fleet? Absolutely. There’s a misconception that you can't stack multiple benefits from a single asset, like an EV. In reality, the opposite is true. Smart automation of charging schedules allows EVs to solve multiple problems at once, strengthening the business case for managed charging and lowering energy bills for everyone. The ev.energy platform enables utilities to optimize simultaneously for multiple system needs, maximizing stackable value, while guaranteeing each driver’s charging needs are met. This holistic view moves managed charging beyond simple peak-shifting to unlock a range of tangible benefits—from local distribution circuits all the way up to the bulk power system. Our playbook unpacks the mechanics and real-world examples behind each of the six layers of the Cost-Avoidance Stack, a framework developed with research support from The Brattle Group.

EV centric virtual power plants are such a flexible resource. They can create value starting at driver’s site, in the local distribution system, in the wholesale market and deliver for the system operator too. Stacking these value streams together delivers the fastest route to reduce energy bills, for every consumer. The challenge is that the value for flexibility is split across multiple stakeholders. These markets are emerging: which is why at ev.energy we are focussed on working hard to learn with our partners, working with over 50 utilties, regulators and all the major system operators to move forward the industry. Onwards to a #fullstack of fleixbility from EVs! #vpps

“Past analyses have shown that Virtual Power Plants can deliver reliable power at costs up to 60% lower than traditional generators. This new research goes further — offering a rigorous, quantitative framework that confirms EV flexibility as a critical, cost-effective tool for preserving both grid reliability and affordability” #VPPs #Affordability #DERVOS2025 https://lnkd.in/ef-F-CVx

Fleet electrification is accelerating, with a 2025 survey showing that 64% of fleet professionals already operate EVs and 87% plan to expand electrification within the next five years. Lower battery costs, growing charging infrastructure, and regulatory pressures are driving adoption. But electrification is more than buying vehicles. It requires careful planning around charging infrastructure, power availability, grounding and protection systems, and strategies to minimize downtime. In this Q&A, David Kaminski, Automotive and e-Mobility Vertical Growth Leader at nVent Electric, explains the technologies and design considerations that can make fleet electrification successful. He discusses microgrid integration, energy storage, enclosures, thermal management, and system scalability.

🔌 EV charging may seem like a simple connection, but it involves multiple stages: ⚡ AC to DC power conversion 🔋 Chemical reactions for energy storage within the battery 🚗 Stored energy ultimately powers the vehicle ⚡ The different approaches to AC-to-DC conversion create the fundamental differences between AC and DC charging, which in turn affect charging speeds and infrastructure planning requirements. At SETEC POWER, we provide flexible charging solutions covering both AC and DC, helping partners build efficient and reliable charging networks. 💡 For more EV charging insights：https://lnkd.in/gaAXxeDY #SETECPOWER #EVChargingSolutions #ElectricVehicles #ChargingInfrastructure #ACCharging #DCCharging #ElectricMobility #ElectricFuture

Why wait months for EV charging when you can deploy in minutes? Traditional EV infrastructure means digging, trenching, permitting, and paying ongoing utility bills. The EV ARC™ by Beam Global skips all of that, delivering solar-powered charging wherever it’s needed. ✔ No digging ✔ No trenching ✔ No grid connection ✔ No monthly energy cost How fast could you scale your EV charging if installation was this simple?

🔌 VGIC general member ev.energy recently released “A Utility Playbook for Turning EV Grid Risk into a $30 Billion Opportunity” that outlines how the power grid across the country is at an inflection point with the rapidly rising electricity use rates driven by #EV adoption, building electrification, and digital infrastructure. VGIC Executive Director Zach Woogen states in the paper: "This essential playbook from ev.energy and The Brattle Group underscores the $30 billion opportunity for vehicle-grid integration solutions. The Cost-Avoidance Stack offers a clear, data-driven roadmap for utilities and regulators to leverage EVs beyond mobility as critical, scalable grid resources. It's a must-read guide to building a more affordable, resilient, and reliable energy future." 📈 #EV load growth is no longer a future concern; it’s a present-day priority. Utilities and policymakers must act now to scale managed charging and turn this challenge into a multi-billion-dollar value opportunity for reliability, affordability, and customer satisfaction. 🔗Read the full playbook linked in the comments section below.   📸 credit: ev.energy #ElectricVehicles #VehicleGridIntegration #ManagedCharging #Electrification
