The Industry Challenge
Fleet operators and commercial property owners adopting EV charging frequently underestimate the electrical infrastructure upgrade required, and risk large increases in peak-demand charges if charging is not load-managed against the rest of the site's consumption.
The ATC GridWorks Approach
ATC GridWorks designs EV charging infrastructure as part of the site's overall energy system - using battery storage to buffer charging load, solar to offset consumption where feasible, and the AI EMS to schedule charging against tariff and load conditions automatically.
Benefits
- Avoids new peak-demand charge exposure from EV charging load
- Reduces electrical infrastructure upgrade cost through storage-buffered charging
- Supports fleet electrification business cases with predictable energy costs
- Available under EaaS/OPEX commercial models
FAQs
It can, if charging load is not managed - EV charging concentrated during peak-tariff hours can materially increase demand charges; ATC GridWorks designs storage-buffered charging systems specifically to avoid this.
In many cases, yes, subject to a site assessment of available capacity and load profile.
