On average, electric vehicles only need half an hour a day to recharge their batteries. By strategically scheduling this charging time, users can take advantage of lower electricity prices — such as those available late at night or during midday. This is already feasible today with dynamic electricity tariffs. Furthermore, time-variable grid charges will be introduced on April 1 this year, further enhancing the potential for optimisation. In the long run, bidirectional charging will open up additional revenue opportunities.
This brief study explores the savings potential of smart charging for electric vehicles under various scenarios. We analyze the cost savings achievable within the current regulatory framework, as well as the extra benefits that could be unlocked through future regulatory changes, including the implementation of bidirectional charging.
