Jaap Burger<p>Great 🎧 on smart EV charging - especially how to extend it to public charging. Not-so-fun fact: German public charging points are all on a standard load profile: no incentive for operators to optimise, as there's no smart meter data to settle e.g. on a 15 minute frequency within energy markets.</p><p><a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/4TOl48Pphxp1d8fJ0KFHhc" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">open.spotify.com/episode/4TOl4</span><span class="invisible">8Pphxp1d8fJ0KFHhc</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/EV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EV</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SmartCharging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SmartCharging</span></a></p>

Jaap Burger<p>Clever way of using various marketing incentives (e.g. switching bonus) to move EV drivers onto a tariff that continues to deliver savings (for them and the energy system).</p><p><a href="https://theevreport.com/renault-partners-with-octopus-for-free-ev-charging" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">theevreport.com/renault-partne</span><span class="invisible">rs-with-octopus-for-free-ev-charging</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/EV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EV</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SmartCharging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SmartCharging</span></a></p>
Jaap Burger<p>A list of some podcasts I have listened to recently and can highly recommend to anyone interested in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/EV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EV</span></a>, <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SmartCharging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SmartCharging</span></a>, <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/flexibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>flexibility</span></a>, and the energy transition at large:</p>
Jaap Burger<p>80% of Synergi users in 🇫🇮 have a dynamic/spot price contract, saving them up to 70% on charging costs, and all this without compromising user comfort: drivers still have a fully charged car in the morning - and can still plug in in the normal late afternoon/early morning hours when they get home.<br><a href="https://synergi.so/business/smart-data/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">synergi.so/business/smart-data</span><span class="invisible">/</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/EV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EV</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SmartCharging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SmartCharging</span></a></p>
Jaap Burger<p>A nice graph from a Finnish report published today showing what <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SmartCharging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SmartCharging</span></a> means: shifting the actual charging of an <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/EV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EV</span></a> to cheaper times - on average four hours later. It's stress-free for the user, good for the wallet and good for the grid, thanks to the automation provided by smart charging services.</p>
Jaap Burger<p>Why extend dynamic pricing to <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/EV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EV</span></a> public charging users?<br>It gives them the same access to the benefits of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SmartCharging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SmartCharging</span></a> as those who charge at home.
