Smart grid integration key to building scalable EV charging infra

With demand surging across highways, cities, and remote areas, smart and adaptive infrastructure will be key not only to stability but also to building trust in the EV ecosystem.

- Rama Bhatia Founder & Managing Director Servotech Renewable Power System Ltd.

In the wake of India's acceleration of its EV transition, ultra-fast charging infrastructure must evolve to meet the growing demand. Servotech is addressing this challenge by deploying smart, AIand IoT-enabled charging systems that ensure grid stability, optimise energy use and support the PM E-Drive scheme to build a robust and nationwide charging network. Rama Bhatia shares his views in talks with EPR.

How can smart grids, AI, and IoT manage energy demand from highway ultra-fast electric vehicle chargers?

Smart grid technology plays a crucial role in balancing energy demand, particularly when it comes to high-capacity electric vehicle (EV) chargers along highways. These chargers can exert sudden pressure on the grid, which is effectively managed by smart systems. We believe that smart grids, combined with IoT-enabled electric vehicle (EV) chargers, enable real-time energy monitoring, dynamic load management, and improved integration with renewable sources. This not only ensures grid stability but also improves the overall charging experience for users.

As EV adoption grows, smart grid integration will be crucial in building a reliable and scalable EV charging infrastructure across India.
