Electric Miles is instrumental in supporting the National Grid, particularly in the context of the UK's congested electricity grid. As one of the most congested grids globally, the UK faces challenges during peak demand times due to limited additional capacity. To mitigate this issue and reduce the need for costly grid infrastructure projects, Our platform enables users to shift their charging schedules to times when energy demand is low, reducing strain on the grid during peak periods.

Additionally, Electric Miles facilitates the integration of renewable energy sources, such as solar power, into the grid. By coordinating charging with solar output, we help smooth out fluctuations in energy supply, contributing to grid stability and resilience.

Moreover, Electric Miles offers grid-scale energy storage solutions through our SmartFlex platform. This allows aggregated EV batteries to serve as virtual power plants, providing additional flexibility and capacity to the grid. By participating in DSF programs, Electric Miles users can support grid balancing efforts and contribute to the transition to a more sustainable energy system.

Overall, Electric Miles helps to alleviate pressure on the National Grid, promotes the integration of renewable energy, and enhances grid stability through smart charging solutions and innovative energy management capabilities.
