TotalEnergies has launched a new “smart charging” technology deployed at public electric vehicle (EV) charging points across the Netherlands. The company will roll out the technology throughout its 13,000 locations throughout the country.
Based on an algorithm that tracks usage, power availability and demand, the tech is programmed to redirect solar and wind energy to the stations. According to a report by local news site change.inc, it tracks the number of vehicles charging at the same time, how long they have been connected, total power needed, availability of green energy and the grid status.
