The new Active Managed Charging (also known as direct load control) is now part of Bidgely’s end-to-end EV solution that also includes EV Detection and Targeting; EV Passive Managed Charging (behavioural load shift); and EV Grid Analytics.
Active Managed Charging can be launched in just weeks without data integration as a turn-key, standalone application. Over 25 OEMs are available for data connection with seven available for active control: Ford, Hyundai, Jaguar, Land Rover, Toyota, Tesla and VW.
Bidgely says it has the industry’s only complete and proven approach to EV engagement. The company’s EV solution accurately targets high-peak charging customers for incentive programmes using its patented AI-powered EV disaggregation technology. By delivering 90% or better accuracy in identifying customers with EVs on the grid and providing behind-the-meter visibility into their charging behaviours, Bidgely’s EV solution provides utilities the ability to better target their highest-value customers for load-shift programmes.
“The EV revolution is going to have a rapid and profound impact on load pressure, grid resilience and decarbonisation. This will mean that utilities will need to take a smart and integrated approach to EV engagement and management, at a pace they have not historically moved,” said Bidgely CEO Abhay Gupta. “The only way to do this rapidly at the scale this revolution demands is by harnessing the power of data and AI to empower smarter energy decisions in an integrated and connected way.”
Bidgely has partnered with a range of utilities to help them realise sustainable load shift through the intersection of AI and EV consumer behaviour influence. A tier one investor-owned utility reported over 90% accuracy in EV detection and estimation, with a 75% load-shift from on-peak to off-peak. Now, 97% of all EV charging is occurring off-peak.
