About CrowdCharge

CrowdCharge is developing 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.

CrowdCharge 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.

CrowdCharge looks to incorporate sophisticated technology and real-world driver experience.

We have extensive relationships within the industry and experience globally.

Smart (V1G) and Vehicle to Grid (V2G) charging specialist

CrowdCharge already has extensive experience of smart V1G and V2G charging – we introduced the world’s first single phase V2G unit, with over 5,000 units being sold.

CrowdCharge will be introducing Vehicle to Grid (V2G) charging in the near future as part of its app development, which will be used on the new Electric Nation Vehicle to Grid project.

V2G has the opportunity to generate revenue for EV owners by selling energy back to the grid at times of peak demand. Sources suggest that using V2G could give an EV owner income of £500 per year.

Experience

CrowdCharge 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, and we have now launched the next phase Electric Nation Vehicle to Grid alongside other CrowdCharge projects – find out more

The concept for CrowdCharge came about due to the needs of our sister company DriveElectric, an EV leasing company. 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. CrowdCharge is now working across sectors to deliver a solution that can help us achieve wider EV adoption.
