Problem
Utilities face challenges in managing the increased energy demand from electric vehicle (EV) charging, especially during peak hours, which can strain the grid and increase operational costs. Traditional methods of managing EV charging infrastructure are often inflexible and do not leverage the full potential of onboard vehicle data.
Solution
Rolling Energy Resources (RER) provides a managed EV charging solution that utilizes onboard telematics and real-time data analytics to optimize EV charging schedules and mitigate grid overload. RER connects directly to EVs through their native APIs, enabling control of charging and monitoring of battery state-of-charge, regardless of the charging location. The platform allows utilities to manage load, not just chargers, by leveraging existing vehicle systems. RER's solutions offer program and rate design flexibility, enabling low-cost, quick scaling of utility programs. The RER Dispatcher portal allows utilities to monitor EVs, schedule demand response events, and track results.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes utilities seeking to manage EV load, optimize grid performance, and design effective EV programs, as well as EV drivers participating in utility-managed charging programs.
