In that case, it is important that your solution is dependable and effective come rain or shine. The elements can adversely affect how your EV charging station delivers power, but how exactly does this work, and what can you expect when charging your EV in inclement weather? As simple as the process of choosing a home EV charger might seem, there are certain factors to be aware of when making this decision. This article will guide you through what to expect when charging your EV in harsh weather, leaving you better equipped to decide on the perfect charging station for your home EV setup. EV CHARGING IN EXTREME HEAT Hot weather can have an adverse effect on the ability of your EV to receive a charge. In essence, this is because your onboard battery management system is designed to maintain a temperature of around 20–25°C – the ideal range for effective battery power. When the environmental temperature is much higher than this, as is often the case in the extreme summer heat, then the battery management system will slow the flow of electricity into the battery to prevent potentially dangerous overheating. For most of us, this would not make much of a difference. If your car is in 35-degree heat, then you may have to wait a few extra minutes to receive a full charge. But for any significant delay or risk of legitimate danger, you really would have to live in the middle of a desert and leave your charging setup in direct sunlight for hours and hours in the most extreme heat conditions imaginable. In normal conditions, it is sufficient to factor in potential EV charging delays when the mercury starts rising, and possibly consider having your home EV charging setup installed in a shaded area to avoid the worst of the sun’s midday heat – especially if you live in a particularly hot country. EV CHARGING IN EXTREME COLD Thinking about how the inbuilt battery management system in your EV responds to hot weather makes it simple to understand how extreme cold is handled too. Again, the battery management system operates with the goal of achieving that perfect temperature range. In hot weather, this means throttling the electricity supply to prevent overheating. In cold weather, the goal is to gently allow your EV battery to come up to temperature by gradually increasing the amount of power it receives. Suppose you were to open the floodgates all at once. In that case, there is a risk that certain elements of the battery will warm up earlier than others, potentially introducing stresses into the chemicals and materials that form it and leading to damage. So instead, the dial is turned gradually so that eventually, the battery warms up as a whole and is ready to receive a full power flow. What this means practically is that, again, you may experience slightly longer charging times in freezing weather . Fundamentally, though, this should not change your experience of charging your EV too dramatically – after all, it is better to wait a few extra minutes than to risk a potentially unsafe charging procedure.

DYNAMIC LOAD BALANCING IN EV CHARGING 24 October 2022 Load balancing, at its most basic, is exactly what it sounds like. In the context of home EV charging, this means ensuring that the load – in this case, the amount of power supplied to your EV through your home charging station – is balanced . Balanced here means not too strong, as this would risk destabilizing or potentially even overloading the power grid, and not too weak, as this would mean that your EV would charge too slowly. While load balancing is often confused with load management, it is essential to remember that these are two completely distinct aspects. Load balancing is more of a safety feature, ensuring that the correct amount of power, as your vehicle needs, is accessed at all times. Load management , on the other hand, concerns allocating power in the broader sense of the grid to permit charging at optimal hours, operating multiple chargers, or allocating a specific amount of power to specific appliances. In short, then, load balancing is your home EV charging station’s way of guaranteeing that the amount of power it draws from the grid and delivers to your vehicle is just right. There are two ways that EV charging stations achieve load balancing: static and dynamic. Before choosing the perfect home charging solution, it is worth taking a deeper look at these two power supply methods to decide on the best setup that best fits your needs. STATIC LOAD BALANCING The simplest way of characterizing the difference between static and dynamic load balancing systems is as “ dumb” and “smart, ” respectively. Static load balancing, the “dumb” system, deals with – as the name suggests – fixed, pre-set allocations of power. This means that your EV will receive a set allocation of power from a portion of your grid that will be maintained and kept the same at all times. This is easier to explain with numbers. Let’s say that the grid connection of your entire home is 20kW. Your usage fluctuates between 1kW and 12kW depending on the time of day, the number of appliances you use, etc. This means that there is 8kW available for your EV charging station. To be safe, the EV charger might allocate 5kW for charging so that even when your house is at maximum load, there is still a buffer zone left to reduce the risk of an accident. In the example above, your EV charger will always have access to 5kW – even when the rest of your home uses significantly less than 12kW. If you are only using 4kW, for example, then the EV charger will not access the 8kW that you are not using but will keep to its pre-allocated 5kW – hence “static” load balancing. While this makes charging times dependable and predictable, as they are always based on the same amount of power, static charging solutions can effectively waste the potential capacity of your grid. DYNAMIC LOAD BALANCING In contrast to the “dumb” nature of static load balancing, dynamic load balancing is the “smart” option. Here, the word “dynamic” means “changing” and refers to the amount of power that is drawn from your home grid to charge your EV. Whereas static load balancing works with a fixed, unchanging allocation, dynamic load balancing fluctuates up and down depending on how much surplus power there is available in your grid. To return to the earlier example, a 20kW grid and a home that uses 12kW at peak hours, the dynamic load balancing solution would again allocate a safe buffer zone. It means that, like the static solution, it may only use 5kW of power at peak hours. However, the key difference here is that if the usage on the grid were to drop to 4kW, while static load balancing would waste that unused capacity, a dynamic load balancing system would now dip into that excess to provide far more power. In this way, dynamic load balancing allows your home EV charging setup to access excess power in your grid and respond to usage fluctuations to charge your EV much more quickly when it does so. This means that there will be times when your EV may unexpectedly charge much faster than it would be you to stick to a static load balancing EV charger, but there are also key safety concerns to consider in favor of adopting dynamic load balancing on your grid. KNOWLEDGE IS POWER The way that dynamic load balancing works means that, in effect, you have eyes on your grid at all times. While this is convenient for charging your EV at home, the smart nature of dynamic load balancing can also be considered a key safety asset for your setup, as potential surges or emergencies are addressed immediately and without the need for user input. This additional layer of safeguarding, paired with the potential to fully utilize all of the power available on your grid, makes dynamic load balancing the go-to choice for most home EV charging solutions. When you use a dynamic load balancing system, not only will your EV frequently charge faster than it would with static, but you will also be protected as the power supply to your EV can be automatically cut when necessary. For this reason, dynamic load balancing is the preferred solution for most EV charging setups, and in the future looks certain to supplant static load balancing almost entirely. To ensure that your home EV solution is future-proof, then, it is best to look for a smart, well-built setup that incorporates dynamic load balancing technology – such as TeltoCharge . Adopting this technology ahead of the curve guarantees that your grid and home are kept safe, up-to-date, and prepared to incorporate any future changes in the home EV charging field.

More News 4/2/2026 New partnership with UK EV Installers to expand smart charging in the UK 3/19/2026 Teltonika Energy and Powerverse Announce Strategic Partnership 3/10/2026 Partnership with Kelvelec in the UK Halve the Cost of Charging Your Electric Car 20 September 2023 We now live in a world where driving an electric vehicle or hybrid is cheaper than driving a petrol car - and where it’s finally possible that using energy from clean sources can be cheaper than those from fossil fuels. It’s a great time for people, for the planet, and for our collective future. Although it’s still a better financial decision to drive electric, Australians alone are now paying as much as 25% more for electricity than they were just a year ago. While rising fuel costs have been a large factor in the adoption of electric cars and plug-in hybrids, EV owners who don’t yet have access to solar at home are now paying significantly more to charge their cars than ever before. CHARGING SMARTER WITH CHARGE SCHEDULING The EV charger you use at home can cut your charging costs in half – while doubling the lifespan of your EV battery. How? Charge scheduling with a smart charger. EV owners with a smart EV charger at home can quickly and easily set their chargers on an off-peak-only charge schedule. Off-peak rates are generally half that of peak electricity rates. Smart EV chargers allow users to schedule when their EV charges and the type of power the charger uses – meaning you can elect to never pay peak electricity tariffs to charge your electric car ever again. PEAK Vs. OFF-PEAK IN REAL TERMS Across Australia for example, peak electricity rates range from 30 to 40 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh), while off-peak rates are significantly lower at 9 to 18 cents per kWh. What this means, is that charging the average electric car in Australia will cost you around $28 per charge on peak tariffs, while charging it on off-peak-only tariffs will tear it right down to just under $12 AUD. Off-peak hours are also typically between 10 PM and 6 AM depending on where you live. This means that not only does your smart charger pay for itself while you sleep, but you also have the convenience of waking up each day to an optimally charged EV. HERE'S HOW IT WORKS WITH TELTOCHARGE If you have a TeltoCharge smart charger installed, you should form a habit of plugging the cable into your car each time you park. Using your TeltoCharge mobile app, you can set a rule on when to charge and/or when not to charge based on the off-peak hours in your area. Your smart charger will not begin charging your EV until the scheduled times, ensuring you make the most of off-peak savings. If you need your car to charge right away for any reason, you can simply switch off the scheduling feature while it's not needed. Your car will then begin charging normally immediately. It also gives TeltoCharge users visibility on when their car is charging, how long for, and how much energy it’s using. This is game-changing for EV and hybrid drivers, helping them to understand exactly how much power they’re using without needing to wait for the energy bill to arrive. THE FUTURE OF EV CHARGING - ONE OFF-PEAK HOUR AT A TIME As electricity prices continue their ascent worldwide, it’s important now more than ever for us to adopt the technology that we have at our disposal, saving our time, money, and the planet we live on. Off-peak charging is a powerful strategy that enables EV drivers all over the world to halve the cost of charging their electric vehicles, even without home solar panels. By embracing this approach, not only can you enjoy substantial financial savings, but you also contribute to a more sustainable energy future by reducing the load on the grid during peak hours.

Electric vehicles (EVs) come as a key piece 23 May 2022 Electric vehicles (EVs) come as a key piece of the complex net-zero carbon future puzzle. Backed by governments, encouraged by all-time-high gas prices, and boosted by public awareness, the EV market is gaining up on speed at impressive rates each year. The future belongs to electric vehicles, doesn't it? The figures also support this statement. Last year, EV sales worldwide surpassed 6,7 million units , 108 % more than in 2020. Over the years, manufacturers of EVs have made an incredible leap in making these cars more efficient and affordable. Among the primary reasons for accelerating EV adoption: lower cost of vehicles, better efficiency thanks to increased battery life, better range of electric vehicles on the market, ambitious net-zero emissions goals, and, of course, governmental incentives for buying EVs. Mainly this governmental support played a crucial role in expanding EV adoption in the EU, UK, and EFTA states (Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland). As a result, for the first time in history, over a million battery electric vehicles (BEVs) were sold in one year, more than the previous five years combined. Speaking of the numbers, BEV sales last year hit a record of 1,218,360 units . As to plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) - 1,045,022 cars . So, let’s see which European countries are at the frontline of EV adoption. TOP-COUNTRIES ELECTRIFYING EUROPE To say that EVs have taken the automotive market by storm is to say nothing. In 2021, the leading market for BEVs and PHEVs was Germany. The growth was 83.3 %, reaching 356,425 units. Talking about PHEVs, in Germany , there were 325,449 plug-in hybrids (a 62.3 % increase compared to 2020). According to ACEA, the main driver behind the explosive EV market growth is governmental support. However, no less impact was made by local automakers, including Volkswagen and BWM. Pushing into the market new vehicles (and doing it even ahead of schedule), carmakers increase the choice range, while regulatory support boosts sales. The UK was the second-largest battery-electric car market. In 2021, new BEV registrations were 76.3% higher, with 190,727 new electric cars sold. As to PHEVs, the UK took a sold third place by volume with 114,554 new plug-in hybrids registered. In the UK, the interest in EVs is also mainly backed by cuts to both purchase incentives and grants for home chargers. However, insufficient public EV charging infrastructure in the country is one of the greatest pain points limiting faster EV adoption. The third major BEV market player was France , with 162,167 new cars, representing a 45.9 % jump compared to 2020. Nevertheless, compared to the UK, France put on the roads more PHEVs. In 2021, new PHEV sales stood at 141,001 units (89 % growth). However, if we skip the growth in 2021 and look at the bigger picture, we will see that the largest share of EV registrations among European countries is in Norway. It is the country where every second new car registered is a battery-electric vehicle! PROPER EV CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE FIRST Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Which should come first, EV chargers or EVs? The process of vehicle electrification highly correlates with the infrastructure for its charging. Currently, Europe is one of the best-equipped regions to transition to EVs. However, the EV charging network must develop in line to continue the upward trend of EV market growth and meet net-zero targets. According to ACEA, in the region, we need up to 14,000 public charging points installed per week between 2021 and 2030 (compared to just 2,000 per week currently). As of 2021, the Netherlands is the leading country for EV charging in Europe. The country is further followed by Germany, France, and the UK. Except for the Netherlands, the list is topped by the same countries holding the largest EV markets. Referring to John Maxwell's wisdom, a leader knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way. Right on the point. Europe has great example patterns to follow and together build an effective future-proof infrastructure for sustainable EV adoption in the region. LIKE THIS STORY?

Installing an EV charger, while quick, easy, and convenient 20 September 2022 It is a fairly common error to think that an EV charger is a simple piece of home electronics. However, the nature of EV chargers and the large amount of power they transfer makes this a whole different ballpark. If you are familiar with the benefits and advantages of owning an electric vehicle (EV), then your mind is most likely made up: you are ready to take the leap and commit to EV travel. However, before you select the EV that is right for you , it is worth considering the EV charging situation. While the number of public EV charging stations around the world is increasing – having grown to almost 1,8 million in 2021 – relying solely on recharging in supermarkets and retail parks is inconvenient for many EV owners. Instead, they choose to implement a home EV charging solution. This allows recharging electric cars at their convenience without worrying about time limits, limited capacity, or the relatively scarce availability of EV charging stations in some countries. If this also appeals to you, then you might be thinking about the next step: selecting an attractive, reliable, and customizable EV charger and then getting started with the installation. But before you dive in with installation, though, there are a few key points to consider that make installing EV chargers a little less clear-cut than your usual home DIY project. EV CHARGER IS NOT AN EVERYDAY PRODUCT It is a fairly common error to think that an EV charger is a simple piece of home electronics, so you can just, for example, attach it to a wall and connect it. However, the nature of EV chargers and the large amount of power they transfer makes this a whole different ballpark. Installing an EV charger, while quick, easy, and convenient for qualified installation experts, is a job that requires expertise and training. To keep yourself and your home safe and ensure that you get the most out of your EV charging solution, it is often best – and most convenient – to organize installation through the company you bought your EV charger at or through independent installers who know how to deal with your chosen EV charger. Every EV charging solution is slightly different; the benefits of having such a wealth of experience on-hand to ensure the smooth installation of your EV setup cannot be overstated. Experienced installers might assess where your EV charger can be installed, recommend alternatives if your chosen location is unsuitable, and even conduct electrical inspections to ensure that your home's infrastructure is ready to take on a home EV charger. CAN ANY ELECTRICIAN CARRY OUT THE INSTALLATION OF AN EV CHARGER? EV charger installers are qualified electricians but have additional specific knowledge provided by the EV charger's manufacturer to understand the specifics of their EV charging solutions. At Teltonika Energy, for example, we provide training to every partner installing our EV charger, ensuring the safety of everyone involved in this process and guaranteeing that our customers get the most out of our EV charging setups. Although each EV charger fulfils the same purpose, installation professionals should be aware of every tiny difference in their construction and design to maximize their value. Speaking of value, there are even EV charging incentives offered by governments worldwide that tie into the notion of proper installation. In the UK, for example, the EV Homecharge Scheme refunds up to 75% of the EV home charging installation cost. This grant is only valid, though, if the installation is conducted by an OZEV-approved (Office for Zero Emission Vehicles) installer, again emphasizing both the financial and safety benefits of ensuring proper installation.
