The Vast Potential of Networked EV Chargers [Content From Enel X]

<p><em>This is an original, branded podcast produced in partnership with Enel X and GTM Creative Strategies.</em></p><p>Electric vehicle chargers now outnumber gas stations in some countries. They’re getting easier to find. They’re easier to install in homes. And they’re getting way smarter.</p><p>So how can we harness all these chargers for the benefit of the grid and consumers?</p><p>In this special podcast episode, produced in partnership with Enel X, we’re exploring the vast potential of electric vehicle chargers. We’ll talk with Giovanni Bertolino, the head of e-mobility for North America at Enel-X about a concept called managed charging. It’s also known as intelligent charging.</p><p>Giovanni’s team deploys&nbsp;networks of chargers that can adapt to pricing and grid needs&nbsp;— providing demand response services, and potentially, real-time services to manage&nbsp;the frequency of the grid.&nbsp;</p><p>We speak with Giovanni about the rise of managed charging. We started with the underlying market conditions: the grid is getting saturated with wind and solar. So how can chargers paired with demand response help support more renewables?</p><p><em>Large energy users partner with Enel X to manage risk on the energy markets, maximize payments through demand response, and finance upgrades to facilities to improve demand response earnings. They also increasingly work with Enel X to use chargers to manage the grid.</em></p><p><a href="https://evcharging.enelx.com/" target="_blank"><em>Find out more</em></a><em> about how Enel X can help you capitalize on your biggest energy opportunities.</em></p>
