With the continuous rise in the number of new energy vehicles, charging cost control and grid load balancing have become common challenges faced by the industry. The time-of-use (TOU) pricing mechanism operates based on the principle of dynamic balance between power supply and demand: during off-peak electricity consumption periods (such as late night to early morning), power generation equipment has excess capacity, and electricity prices are reduced to stimulate user consumption, thereby improving equipment utilization; during peak electricity consumption periods (such as morning and evening rush hours), power demand surges, and electricity prices are increased to curb non-essential electricity use and ease grid pressure. Essentially, this price leverage adjustment mechanism links the commodity attribute of electricity with time value to achieve optimal resource allocation.
From an international perspective, TOU pricing has become a crucial global energy management tool:
▣Germany, an energy transition pioneer, maintains a 3:1 peak-to-valley ratio for residential electricity, with industrial/commercial ratios exceeding 5:1, driving off-peak production.
▣Japan's Tokyo Electric Power offers a "late-night electricity package", slashing off-peak rates to 40% of peak, boosting nighttime EV charging and energy storage adoption.
▣California activates real-time pricing during summer peaks, surging rates 10x normal levels to safeguard grid stability.
These examples underscore TOU pricing's dual benefit: optimizing grid load while cutting user costs.
Our company's products can provide precise solutions for different scenarios. Through an intelligent charging management system that monitors electricity price fluctuations in real-time and automatically plans the optimal charging time periods, we help users maximize the benefits of TOU pricing while ensuring the stability of grid operation.
◈Home Scenarios: The EP01/EP02 portable intelligent charging piles have won wide acclaim for their compact and convenient design as well as intelligent operation. Users can preset off-peak charging periods with a single click through the mobile app. The built-in AI learning algorithm can automatically adapt to daily travel habits and accurately recommend the optimal charging time. Data shows that household users of this series of products can reduce their charging costs by 20% - 35% annually, achieving the convenient and energy-efficient experience of "setting before bed and waking up to a full charge."
◈Commercial Operation Scenarios: The EC01 commercial wall-mounted charging pile demonstrates strong scene adaptability and cost control advantages. It supports centralized management of multiple devices. Operators can set time-of-use electricity price strategies in batches through the backend system, easily enabling the refined operation of hundreds of charging piles in shopping malls, office buildings, and other places.
◈High-power Fast Charging and Fleet Operation Fields: The D30 DC fast charging pile has become the preferred equipment for corporate fleets and public charging stations. Equipped with dynamic power adjustment technology, it automatically increases the charging power during off-peak periods to meet rapid energy replenishment needs and intelligently reduces the power during peak periods to avoid high electricity bills.
◈Industrial-grade Application Scenarios: The CANNON-300 industrial-grade charging solution stands out for its excellent stability and intelligent adjustment capabilities. This product can seamlessly connect with the enterprise energy management system, real-time monitor grid electricity price fluctuations and equipment power loads, and achieve cost optimization while ensuring charging efficiency through dynamic power resource allocation.
