The EQ 200 is suited to workplace parking, this versatile charger comes equipped with intelligent features that enable it to interact with a full range of load balancing and Energy Management Systems, allowing vehicle-to-grid (V2G) capability as energy technology develops.
The EQ 200 charger is the ideal workplace charger, with flexible installation and configuration options, and boasting every feature needed for convenient control and network insight. It’s the perfect option for today’s needs and offers the flexibility to cater for the most advanced smart energy management systems of the future.
Vehicle-to-grid, or bi-directional charging is the next stage in EV charging, as part of smart energy management systems. It allows the energy stored in an electric vehicle’s battery to be used to power other devices in the office, charge other EVs, or feed into the national grid.
This will help educational institutes, estates and the national grid to balance their energy demand, smooth the peaks in that demand, and potentially pay less for their energy.
It can also reduce the need to increase the electricity supply to the site to meet peak demand, which could otherwise be very expensive. It enables energy managers to integrate and balance the different elements of their energy systems, such as EVs, solar and wind power generation, local battery storage and grid supply against their real-time energy demand.
