Ireland launches EV Flex smart charging trial
Reported byElectrive ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
ESB Networks and Ohme are launching a six-month smart charging trial in Ireland offering EV drivers up to €78 to shift charging to times that suit the grid, following UK trials involving up to 20,000 customers that flexed nearly 150 MW of electricity.
This is a six-month trial; scaling and long-term behavioral effects on grid flexibility remain to be measured.
