From theory to reality: WESA trial integrating dynamic EV flexibility with daily life

Coordinating EV charging demand in response to signals from national or local markets can enable flexibility at national or local levels. Commercially available smart charging services manage EV charging to react to national signals known in advance. However, the ability of such services to automatically react to signals that change in near real-time, or that reflect local conditions, is less well studied and understood. We report results from an initial real-world trial to investigate such potential.
