With tens of thousands of new electric vehicles expected to hit the roads in a few years, comes a challenge. How do we find a place for them on the electric grid?
Imagine all those EV drivers coming home from work, about the same time of day, and plugging in their cars at about same time. It could put quite a strain on the power system.
Helping manage that demand is one of the goals of a project at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland, WA. They call it the Smart Charger.
