Smart Meters + EV Chargers

What’s happening? The UK is requiring all EV chargers to automatically be off for 9 hours during peak times. Chargers will be equipped to be shut down for 30 minute intervals if demand is high.

Why is this important? It is 1st time in the world regulation like this and it dovetails with the requirement that all UK houses have smart meters by 2025.

How will this be important? If any other country picks up the mantra and runs with similar or identical legislation.

Can the UK lead the world in smart EV charging?
