Subject: EV Demand Response - backdoor solution Unless I misunderstand this,.... This concept can bring demand response to EV charging almost overnight without having to modify every charger in America and every EV in America. It is simple… BMW pays drivers who allow up to 1 hour differed charging during grid peaks, and utilities pay BMW. Others MFRS can do this too.... Done.
This can implement demand-response under utility control by only implementing it at the Manufacturer level (say 20 solutions) instead of modifying 200,000 chargers, and 200,000 EV’s and having to come up with agreed standards and implementation of V2G that will take a decade. http://www.sfgate.com/business/article/Owners-of-BMW-electric-cars-get-paid-not-to-drive-5995359.php This is a great idea! Don’t know why I didn’t think of it before! Rather than having to modify every charger in America to conform to utility V2G protocols for charging control and metering (Great idea but will be DECADES before it is out there) and every EV already sold and to be sold..… Instead, simply have BMW, TESLA or GM or any other EV MFR that has direct wireless remote control of their vehicles “system” implement the charging/grid algorithm since they already have the REMOTE CHARGE CONTROL system to the car. Then the only finance negotiation is between the Utility and the Car MFR. They agree on a charging hold-off, the utilty pays the car company and the car company pays the car owner. DONE! Only 20 systems... No changes to any chargers or existing cars! Wow, what a great way to get’er’done! Without waiting for a global V2G system. Instead of 200,000 solutions at every charger and 200,000 solutions on every EV, just 20 solutions, one at BMW, TESLA, GM, VW and so forth. Done.
