Interesting new aggregator for consumer flexibility in Norway: reduce the load on the power grid with your EV, for example, and earn between NOK 500 and NOK 4,000 (€40 - €440) per year. Works with any energy supplier (and soon also with the Norgespris capped electricity price).
A 75% reduction in charging costs compared to immediate charging, and 60% compared to charging during off-peak hours at a standard rate. Per truck , an annual saving of €3,000 by purchasing market electricity. This is demonstrated by this successful French project.

If you build it, they will come.
UK DSO National Grid Energy Distribution has worked to remove barriers for consumer energy resources participating in its local flexibility market. With great success, over 50% of all #EV chargers in its area are now registered.

"So, for example, your thermostat can reduce its energy use when prices are higher, and your EV can generate a charging schedule based on forecasted prices to save you money."

In Europe, various car brands work with partners to develop their own branded smart charging apps/brands, such as Renault (Mobilize), Hyundai and this example from Ford Europe:

For a long time, it was thought that smart charging required the charging point to be made ‘smart’. However, the significant growth of smart charging – including in Europe – lies in car connectivity. This creates the best and most logical user experience and makes a fleet of EVs grid-responsive.

Great example of how (delivery) fleets can be made smarter by optimising charging based on dynamic energy prices and renewables, as well as providing FRR grid support.
This saves operating costs for the fleet operator and lowers energy system costs for all.

"The ChargeWise California pilot found that dynamic price signals, combined with automated charging management, achieve up to 98% EV charging load delivered off-peak, above the 60-70% typically achieved by ToU tariffs."
