What is the report about?
This is our most comprehensive report on smart charging thus far. We want to show how smart charging has become a critical lever for scaling demand-side flexibility.
To realise its full potential, it must deliver tangible benefits to all parties—consumers, utilities, and grid operators alike. The key is continuous evolution: by prioritising consumer needs, smart charging naturally creates value for utilities and the broader grid.
In this third edition of our Smart Charging Report, we go further by highlighting not only how smart charging can reduce costs for new grid developments but also its role in supporting local grid operations.
We also share insights from operating Finland’s first EV-powered Virtual Power Plant (VPP), including how incentives influence driver behaviour and the impact of grid support activations—demonstrating that flexibility resources are both available and reliably dispatched when needed.
Finally, the report features our traditional smart charging insights, showcasing usage statistics from hundreds of thousands of smart charging sessions, featuring top EV brands and models, savings, earnings, and more.
Who is the report for?
This report serves as a valuable resource for trading and new business teams within utility companies, demonstrating how smart charging as a service has matured into a commercially viable solution ready to be deployed at scale.
