Electric car manufacturer BYD is installing 1,360 kW EV chargers in China, enabling five-minute charging for compatible BYD EVs.
While similar-powered chargers are planned for HGVs in the UK, grid connection delays are hindering installation.
New AI technology from CrowdCharge offers a solution by providing more effective energy compression than traditional load balancing. This technology aims to reduce the need for grid upgrades and lower energy costs and emissions.
The CrowdCharge technology creates a ‘digital twin’ of future charging projects, allowing for optimisation of infrastructure development and potential reductions in project costs and timelines. The platform evaluates variables, including multiple sites and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) charging, to optimise energy use and maximise revenue from grid services.
CrowdCharge’s AI-powered technology, developed from energy industry research, facilitates V2X (vehicle to everything) services. CrowdCharge is a partner in the Innovate UK V2VNY vehicle-to-grid (V2G) project and has been validated in previous smart charging and V2G projects. CrowdCharge is a sister company to DriveElectric, an EV leasing broker.
