Feature: Electric Vehicles
‘home’ battery, these allow a household to generate and store its own energy. Tis has two effects: firstly, it provides greater energy independence and minimises reliance on the grid, and secondly it alleviates pressure on the national grid. When it comes to EV charging, this
stored energy can be deployed outside of peak generation time. It means that households can generate during the day, power their home in the evening and recharge their EV overnight. All with little to no need for the grid. At myenergi, we understand the
importance of proactivity. Our range of eco-smart products is relied upon by households across the UK. For example, our EV charger zappi allows users to recharge their EVs with 100 per cent self- generated renewable energy. Households can also divert renewable energy to domestic heating systems with our power diverter, eddi. We can even help customers automatically optimise energy storage based on the energy being used, how much is generated from renewables, and their
electricity tariff, with our intelligent home energy storage system, libbi. Tousands of myenergi customers are
also already playing their part through offering their devices for Demand Side Response (DSR) services, where they essentially remain ‘on standby’ for the grid at times of peak demand, and can adjust their charge rate remotely to either turn down or pause if demand is high and capacity is needed, or turn their consumption up if there is surplus generation that needs to be soaked up to make the grid work as efficiently as possible.
As the number of plug-in vehicles rises, eco-smart devices like these will play a crucial role in enabling consumers to be more energy efficient. We have already witnessed immense progress in the campaign to lower transport and power generation emissions. As the UK progresses towards 2035, it needs to consider the implications of mass EV adoption and better enable households to access self- generated renewables. For more information about myenergi, or
