Operating model
How MECG works
The approved explanation should connect physical systems, communications, data, security, and operating responsibility.
Managed EV Charging schedules or adjusts charging power using vehicle requirements, charger availability, electricity prices, site capacity, or grid signals. Fleet and V2G platforms use it to reduce peaks, avoid infrastructure overload, and prepare vehicles for service. It is distinct from bidirectional charging because control can apply to one-way charging.
