<\/a><\/p>\nIoT’s Role in EV Charging Transition<\/h2>\n IoT has the potential to facilitate all the stakeholders who are part of the EV value chain; these include EV owners, EV charging station operators, network operators, etc. The following article summarizes different ways IoT benefits the EV charging industry.<\/p>\n
– Improved Authentication<\/h3>\n Before charging the EV, the users need to verify themselves with the help of smartphones or RFID tags for access. As soon as the EV owner authenticates himself, the data is sent to the cloud. This data is critically analyzed, and the system checks the driver’s profile for complete authentication and conducting authorization and accounting activities. This high-end authentication ensures secure billing and transaction.<\/p>\n
– EV Station Search<\/h3>\n Finding an EV charging station in an unfamiliar area is hectic. With IoT, EV owners can easily find nearby stations by searching the application’s location, checking availability, and reserving a slot in advance per the charging requirements. The application uses real-time data to advise EV owners about off-peak hours and low-cost charging.<\/p>\n
– Automation<\/h3>\n While charging the EV, the drivers can roam around at the station. They can have some munching and rest because an application notifies the driver about the time left in charging, automatic payment, error in cable connection, etc., as the system is working autonomously and can send real-time updates to the user. Hence, there is no need to stand by the EV and wait until it’s charging.<\/p>\n
– Smart Charging<\/h3>\n With EV adoption, energy demand and consumption are increasing exponentially. The energy rates tend to change as per the season. For instance, energy production is high during the summer season with the increased EV charging rates in the daytime. With the help of IoT, the chargers can find the lowest rates available from the grid and start charging automatically. This facilitates the CPOs to manage the surge in energy demand and save costs.<\/p>\n
– Remote Operation Management<\/h3>\n Remote management of EV stations has been made much easier with IoT. IoT solutions have enabled the CPOs to take real-time device performance insight into account and quickly resolve the associated issues while remotely managing the other EV station operations. Useful insights such as troubleshooting, fault monitoring, utilization, and availability of the charger help reduce downtime and effectively manage operations remotely.<\/p>\n
– EVSE Control<\/h3>\n IoT in EV charging is responsible for collecting a large amount of data from various sensors and nodes and carefully examining the data while utilizing important performance metrics such as battery capacity of EV, power grid limit, and state of EV charging. The data and analysis in this regard help manage and smoothly control large fleets of charging infrastructure.<\/p>\n
Final Word\u2026<\/h2>\n EV adoption is growing rapidly due to new functionalities, increased driving range, and reduced battery prices from leading automakers. However, an efficient and reliable EV charging infrastructure in the industry is also important to complement the growth, and in this regard, IoT is said to be the fundamental block. IoT is beneficial not only for EV drivers but also for the CPOs to remotely monitor the operations, prevent downtime, ensure charging availability, and create a seamless EV charging experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
The number of Electric Vehicle (EV) users is growing rapidly on national and international levels. The recent report by Statista has revealed that nearly 767k units of EV have been sold in 2022, and by 2027 the EV market unit sales in the region will reach up to 2131k. Moreover, in 2022-2027, the US EV […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":13112,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ocean_post_layout":"","ocean_both_sidebars_style":"","ocean_both_sidebars_content_width":0,"ocean_both_sidebars_sidebars_width":0,"ocean_sidebar":"0","ocean_second_sidebar":"0","ocean_disable_margins":"enable","ocean_add_body_class":"","ocean_shortcode_before_top_bar":"","ocean_shortcode_after_top_bar":"","ocean_shortcode_before_header":"","ocean_shortcode_after_header":"","ocean_has_shortcode":"","ocean_shortcode_after_title":"","ocean_shortcode_before_footer_widgets":"","ocean_shortcode_after_footer_widgets":"","ocean_shortcode_before_footer_bottom":"","ocean_shortcode_after_footer_bottom":"","ocean_display_top_bar":"default","ocean_display_header":"default","ocean_header_style":"","ocean_center_header_left_menu":"0","ocean_custom_header_template":"0","ocean_custom_logo":0,"ocean_custom_retina_logo":0,"ocean_custom_logo_max_width":0,"ocean_custom_logo_tablet_max_width":0,"ocean_custom_logo_mobile_max_width":0,"ocean_custom_logo_max_height":0,"ocean_custom_logo_tablet_max_height":0,"ocean_custom_logo_mobile_max_height":0,"ocean_header_custom_menu":"0","ocean_menu_typo_font_family":"0","ocean_menu_typo_font_subset":"","ocean_menu_typo_font_size":0,"ocean_menu_typo_font_size_tablet":0,"ocean_menu_typo_font_size_mobile":0,"ocean_menu_typo_font_size_unit":"px","ocean_menu_typo_font_weight":"","ocean_menu_typo_font_weight_tablet":"","ocean_menu_typo_font_weight_mobile":"","ocean_menu_typo_transform":"","ocean_menu_typo_transform_tablet":"","ocean_menu_typo_transform_mobile":"","ocean_menu_typo_line_height":0,"ocean_menu_typo_line_height_tablet":0,"ocean_menu_typo_line_height_mobile":0,"ocean_menu_typo_line_height_unit":"","ocean_menu_typo_spacing":0,"ocean_menu_typo_spacing_tablet":0,"ocean_menu_typo_spacing_mobile":0,"ocean_menu_typo_spacing_unit":"","ocean_menu_link_color":"","ocean_menu_link_color_hover":"","ocean_menu_link_color_active":"","ocean_menu_link_background":"","ocean_menu_link_hover_background":"","ocean_menu_link_active_background":"","ocean_menu_social_links_bg":"","ocean_menu_social_hover_links_bg":"","ocean_menu_social_links_color":"","ocean_menu_social_hover_links_color":"","ocean_disable_title":"enable","ocean_disable_heading":"on","ocean_post_title":"","ocean_post_subheading":"","ocean_post_title_style":"","ocean_post_title_background_color":"","ocean_post_title_background":0,"ocean_post_title_bg_image_position":"","ocean_post_title_bg_image_attachment":"","ocean_post_title_bg_image_repeat":"","ocean_post_title_bg_image_size":"","ocean_post_title_height":0,"ocean_post_title_bg_overlay":0.5,"ocean_post_title_bg_overlay_color":"","ocean_disable_breadcrumbs":"off","ocean_breadcrumbs_color":"","ocean_breadcrumbs_separator_color":"","ocean_breadcrumbs_links_color":"","ocean_breadcrumbs_links_hover_color":"","ocean_display_footer_widgets":"on","ocean_display_footer_bottom":"on","ocean_custom_footer_template":"0","ocean_post_oembed":"","ocean_post_self_hosted_media":"","ocean_post_video_embed":"","ocean_link_format":"","ocean_link_format_target":"self","ocean_quote_format":"","ocean_quote_format_link":"post","ocean_gallery_link_images":"off","ocean_gallery_id":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[84,20,33],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"\n
