About Crowd Charge

Crowd Charge is a digital platform to manage multiple electric vehicle chargers to provide EV owners with cheaper and greener electricity, while at the same time reducing the impact from EV charging on the electricity grid – in the UK and globally.

Crowd Charge has been working with UK electricity networks (Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks and Western Power Distribution) since 2013 to understand and implement solutions for aggregated smart EV charging.

Crowd Charge incorporates sophisticated technology and real-world driver experience.

We have extensive relationships within the industry and experience globally.

Vehicle to Grid (V2G) charging

Crowd Charge will be introducing Vehicle to Grid (V2G) charging in the near future. V2G has the opportunity to generate revenue for EV owners by selling energy back to the grid at times of peak demand. Using V2G could give an EV owner income of £500 per year.

Crowd Charge already has extensive experience of V2G charging – we introduced the world’s first single phase V2G unit, with over 5,000 units being sold.

Experience

Crowd Charge has already been proven with 350 EV users on the three-year Electric Nation smart charging trial, giving real-world insight into drivers’ behaviours and attitudes towards smart charging – find out more.

The concept for Crowd Charge came about due to the needs of our EV leasing company, DriveElectric. We realised there were some major challenges with the energy system, and ensuring our customers could always charge their cars as the numbers of EVs are due to rise was important. Crowd Charge is now working across sectors to deliver a solution that can help us achieve wider EV adoption.
