Nissan teams up with EDF to power EV smart charging

摘要

London—Japanese automaker Nissan has teamed up with European energy firm EDF to make charging of electric vehicles as simple as possible for consumers, bringing smart charging to the UK, France, Belgium and Italy, they said in a joint statement. Smart charging — or vehicle to grid — has been getting a lot of attention recently, with more and more companies investing in the technology, which allows cars to both charge efficiently and also have the facility to send power back to the grid when not required. This, it is hoped, will help smooth out any spikes caused as more EVs come to market and consumers adopt the technology.
