Increasingly, hubs with a large number of EV chargers grouped together are being deployed in locations such as offices, shopping malls, stadiums, parking garages and exhibition centres. The simultaneous charging of multiple EVs this way puts significant pressure on the local electricity grid connection because it increases peak loads. 

Alfen’s EV charging equipment can help to mitigate this through load balancing, with chargers connected in a network and real time available power capacity distributed optimally across all EVs charging at any one time. The additional integration of an Alfen energy storage system allows full mitigation of peak loads, allowing maximum output at each charging point, and storage, and optimal consumption of, locally generated renewable energy.
