Intelligent charging management system that optimizes charging schedules based on energy prices, grid capacity, vehicle requirements, and renewable energy availability.
Smart charging uses real-time data from energy markets, weather forecasts, and vehicle telemetry to create optimal charging schedules. It employs algorithms that consider battery health, charging efficiency, and grid constraints.
Research shows that charging strategies factoring in tariffs, battery ageing and energy trading can significantly cut costs for transit agencies. Modern fleets can reduce energy costs by 20-30% through intelligent scheduling.
