Dynamic Load Management: The Future of EV Charging
Dynamic Load Management: The Future of EV Charging
As electric vehicle (EV) adoption continues to rise, the pressure on charging infrastructure and local power grids increases dramatically. One of the most promising solutions to this challenge is Dynamic Load Management (DLM) – a technology that intelligently distributes available energy across multiple charging points, ensuring efficiency, stability, and cost-effectiveness.
What Is Dynamic Load Management?
Dynamic Load Management is a smart system that monitors the total available power at a charging site and allocates it to connected EVs in real time. Instead of overloading the grid or requiring expensive infrastructure upgrades, DLM balances supply and demand dynamically.
For example, if a workplace has ten EVs plugged in simultaneously, DLM ensures that each car receives enough power to charge without exceeding the site’s maximum energy capacity. As cars finish charging or new ones are connected, the system automatically adjusts distribution.
Benefits of DLM
-
Cost Savings – Reduces the need for costly grid upgrades.
-
Optimised Energy Use – Ensures efficient utilisation of available capacity.
-
Scalability – Makes it easier to expand charging networks.
-
Sustainability – Integrates seamlessly with renewable energy sources such as solar and wind.
DLM in Europe and Beyond
Countries across Europe, particularly Germany and the UK, are incorporating DLM as part of their national charging strategies. With growing EV fleets in Turkey, the technology is expected to become an essential requirement for operators managing high-demand locations such as shopping centres, car dealerships, and residential complexes.
Click&Plug’s Approach
Click&Plug has built Dynamic Load Management into its platform from the ground up. By combining OCPP 1.6j integration, priority charging rules (such as the 80% rule), and smart queueing systems, Click&Plug helps operators maximise charging efficiency without compromising user experience.
Looking Ahead
Dynamic Load Management is more than just a technical upgrade — it is a foundation for the future of sustainable EV charging. As demand grows, operators that adopt DLM will be best positioned to provide reliable, cost-efficient, and scalable charging solutions.
