On the topic of "will EV charging crash the grid" -- I picked up a marketing research paper today on this topic.? The paper can be retrieved from this link:
It's talking about "Managed Charging" as a solution for the "EV charging crash the grid" concern.? BTW, my job is currently involved with an EV Charging Network where we're working on software about that issue.
The contention is that "managed charging" is required - meaning that EV charging is coordinated to prefer to happen during times when electricity demand is low.? Such time periods will also correspond to times when the minute-to-minute electricity price is the lowest, such as mid-day when there's lots of solar electricity on the grid.
"Managed charging" requires an EVSE with enough intelligence to communicate over the Internet with something that can advise the EVSE to adjust the charging rate up or down.
