Smart charging and grid balancing

EVs play a bigger role in our everyday life and in the energy system. With more EVs on the roads, the need to think smarter about charging grows. Smart charging and grid balancing are two concepts becoming more and more relevant. They're about using electricity wisely, so we get cheaper charging while also helping the grid.

At enkel energi we work to make charging simple for you as a customer, while developing solutions that support the future's need for flexible energy.

What does grid balancing mean?

Grid balancing means distributing electricity consumption so the grid doesn't get overloaded. When many people use power at the same time, the pressure on the system rises. That can create problems and, in the worst case, lead to outages or high prices.

With grid balancing, consumption is moved to times when there is more room in the grid. For EV drivers, it means the car can charge at night or in the hours when the load is low. That helps both you and the system as a whole.
