Smarter EV Charging for Your Home or Property
Power Balancing helps your EV charger use the power that is available — without putting unnecessary stress on your electrical system.
What Is Power Balancing?
Your home or building uses electricity all day.
Air conditioning, appliances, lighting, and other equipment all use power.
Power Balancing automatically adjusts EV charging based on how much power is available.
More power available → Faster EV charging
Less power available → EV charging reduces
How Does It Work?
A small energy meter monitors the electrical load in your home or building.
The system then adjusts the EV charger automatically.
You do not need to change the charging current yourself.
Home Power → Energy Meter → EV Charger
Why Is It Useful?
Power Balancing can help you:
-
Use available electrical capacity more efficiently
-
Reduce the chance of overloading your electrical service
-
Charge during high or low home power usage
-
Manage more than one EV charger
-
Avoid unnecessary electrical upgrades in some installations
Example
Your home has limited electrical capacity.
At night, when the home is using less power:
More power can go to your EV charger.
When the air conditioner, oven, or other large appliances are running:
EV charging can automatically reduce.
When home power use drops again:
EV charging can increase.
One Charger
For one EV charger, Power Balancing helps the charger adjust to your home’s available power.
This is useful for homes where electrical capacity is limited.
Two or Three Chargers
Power Balancing can also help manage multiple EV chargers.
Available charging power can be shared between:
1 Charger · 2 Chargers · 3 Chargers
This makes it easier to add more EV charging without simply giving every charger maximum power at the same time.
For Homeowners
Power Balancing helps make home EV charging easier.
You can charge your EV while the system automatically watches your home’s electrical demand.
No need to constantly think about how much power your home is using.
For Rental and Property Hosts
Power Balancing is also useful for:
-
Rental homes
-
Airbnb properties
-
Apartments
-
Condos
-
Small workplaces
It can help multiple users charge while keeping charging power within the available electrical capacity.
Do I Need a Larger Electrical Panel?
Not always.
Some homes may have enough electrical capacity when Power Balancing is used.
Other homes may still need an electrical upgrade.
A qualified installer should check your electrical service and determine the best solution.
Power Balancing + OCPP
Power Balancing manages available electrical power.
OCPP connects the charger to the cloud platform and app.
Together, they provide smarter EV charging.
Power Balancing = Manage Power
OCPP = Manage the Charger
Simple. Automatic. Smart.
Power Balancing helps your EV charger work with your home or building — automatically.
Charge Smarter. Charge More.
