Research The State of Managed Charging in 2024 Managed charging programs successfully decrease bulk- and distribution-level costs and utilities should deploy them at scale in the next few years. Successful and cost-effective programs shift energy to low-cost, non-peak times and lower non-coincident peaks that impact the distribution system. OEMs are an important stakeholder group for ensuring effective telematics integrations and as a customer marketing channel. Telematics, networked EVSE, and AMI each provide different types of data and granularity for monitoring and controlling customers’ EV charging. The industry has seen tremendous shifts since SEPA began writing about managed charging in 2017. Why are we still discussing managed charging seven years later? While EV adoption has increased significantly, with more than three million EVs on the road today, managed charging has not scaled proportionally. At scale, implementing managed charging is complex because it is both a programmatic solution involving customer enrollment, incentivization, and billing and a technological solution requiring extensive data and communication exchanges across several devices and platform systems. Our newest edition of the State of Managed Charging series highlights the challenges associated with managed charging today and shares industry best practices for implementing utility managed charging programs, including those focused on distribution-level optimization. The next few years will serve as an inflection point for the industry. Implementing effective managed charging programs now will help reduce grid impacts and costs in the future and benefit EV drivers, vehicle and charging manufacturers, and solution providers.
