EV smart charging in buildings
Smart building EV charging infrastructure provides huge benefits and is vital for decarbonizing transport. Given that 90% of EV chargers installed by 2040 will be in private settings – mainly in our residential, commercial, and industrial buildings, the benefits of installing smart EV charging technology in buildings must be evaluated.
