Statistics say that, by 2035, one out of every five cars sold will be an EV, the infrastructure to support the same is yet to reach perfection, however it’s progressing to reach the same quite rapidly.
The electric grid, one of the main points of the developing infrastructure, has received a push from Georgia Institute of Technology (GIT) which would reduce the potential of grid overloading.
The smart charging system as introduced by the GIT would not only help with reducing the grid overflow but also will be a more economic option.
This innovation would also help in making the market ready for more EVs in the future.
EVs can be a major source of power consumption in homes when plugged in for charging and study shows this increase in power consumption increases in the post work hours.
This sudden splurge of power consumption at around the same time can be difficult and result in the aforementioned grid overloading issue, experts advise to utilize the entire night for charging.
This issue can be easily resolved by the smart charging system as introduced by GIT, for smart charging can make the charging schedule flexible, and the randomness would help reduce chances of the grid overload issue.
The research team asserts and claims that this technology is to perform in commercial settings, gaining company license for this innovation is thus the current goal.
Georgia Tech researchers have created a pioneering graphene semiconductor.
