Electric Vehicles: An Opportunity and A Threat
EVs present a once-in-a-generation opportunity for utilities as energy supply and demand dynamics are reshaped, creating an estimated $3 to $10 billion of revenue potential by 2030. But the grid impact of mass EV adoption is a threat that must be addressed simultaneously.
To thrive in this evolving landscape, utilities must embrace their EV customers as grid-management partners and find cost-effective, scalable solutions to several key challenges:
EV Owners’ Challenges:
Limited awareness of charging costs, often resulting in shock over high bills.
Not understanding Time of Use (TOU) rates and incentive programs.
Confusion about EV charging best practices.
Utility Challenges:
Visibility into which customers persistently charge during peak hours, increasing grid strain.
Non-uniform EV proliferation and limited visibility into grid impacts.
The risk of creating new peaks as more customers with EVs switch to TOU rates.
Unengaged EV drivers that don’t respond to utility nudges or programs.
Bidgely's End-to-End Solution
Bidgely offers a unique three-phased approach to EV programs that addresses customer and utility challenges, boosting load management effectiveness and efficiency.
This integrated approach not only enhances grid stability but also maximizes customer savings and utility ROI.
Industry's most effective, scalable EV planning & load-management solution
The Value of a Comprehensive Approach
Bidgely’s comprehensive EV solution offers a more cost-effective approach to engaging EVs. By combining a targeted approach made available through EV Intelligence, utilities can increase the kW/EV on incentivized Managed Charging programs by 3X. When combined with Bidgely’s EV TOU solution utilities can improve the cost-effectiveness of EV programs by 59%.
EV Intelligence:
EV Detection & Targeting
Our difference lies in our AI – specifically advanced data science algorithms that detect EVs on the grid with 98%+ accuracy and expose every customer’s charging pattern, using AMI data
With Bidgely you can identify which customers have an EV, what type of charger they use, when they are charging, and how much electricity they consume – to build hourly EV consumption profiles unique to each customer.
Identify the regions and grid assets experiencing the most significant growth in EV adoption. Segment down to areas of interest to identify local constraints and patterns.
Identify the impact of EV charging on transformers and feeders to determine the need for EV load management or transformer replacement, ensuring grid reliability.
Analyze when EV owners plug in their vehicles and cross-reference their charging frequency and duration in order to effectively identify the optimal load management strategy of EV charging demand, whether passively or actively.
Segment users for active & passive managed charging programs. Low-amplitude chargers with infrequent charging during peak hours are ideal candidates for the Passive Managed Charging Program, while high-amplitude chargers with high energy consumption in areas with constrained grid assets are better suited for the Active Managed Charging Program.
Load Shaping:
EV TOU Rate Promotion & Coaching
While electric vehicles are a new source of peak load, the shaping of peak load is not new to utilities and a long standing strategy to shape load is to leverage time of use (TOU) and other advanced rates.. Bidgely’s rate promotion and coaching journey for EV users provides utilities with the tools to empower customers to adopt new rates and shift load accordingly.
EV TOU Rate Promotion
Using advanced disaggregation and AI insights, utilities can send targeted email campaigns showcasing the dollar-based savings EV owners can achieve by adopting TOU rates.
EV TOU Rate Coaching
Once customers are onboarded, the coaching journey keeps them engaged. Real-time peak charge alerts notify users when they’re charging during expensive peak hours, while monthly tracker alerts offer a detailed view of their charging habits, highlighting opportunities to save. For a comprehensive understanding, activity map insights visualize charging patterns aligned with TOU timebands, reinforcing the value of shifting to off-peak hours.
Targeted Load Shifting:

Recruit high value EV owners:
Target high-value EV owners – defined as customers who are most likely to be charging on constrained assets during constrained times – effortlessly through our tailored outreach. Once enrolled, EV drivers gain access to our mobile-first managed charging web application, designed for seamless control and tracking. Empower your customers to:
Monitor Charging Progress: Stay updated on charging status in real time.
Take Full Control: Optimize charging schedules with ease.
Earn Incentives: Track progress and rewards in the incentive program.
Schedule peak events & inform
the EV owners:
Schedule peak events &
inform the EV owners:
Drivers are notified on email & SMS when an event is scheduled, starts & ends.
Measure effectiveness of the program:
Track enrollment, charging behavior & measure load-shift accurately through the dashboards
Keep Drivers informed on incentives:
Drivers receive email alerts to stay informed about their progress in the incentive program. A monthly EV tracker provides updates on their monthly performance, while a strike alert notifies them in real-time whenever their car charges during peak hours, potentially impacting their incentives.
