Smart charging firm Easee has announced plans to support national and regional grid balancing efforts, using its network of 850,000 4G-connected electric vehicle (EV) chargers across Europe.

Through advanced load balancing, demand response capabilities, and dynamic charging controls, Easee’s chargers can shift energy usage to times of lower demand and prioritise renewable energy integration, helping to relieve stress on local and national infrastructure. The aim is to empower energy providers and grid operators with new, responsive tools.

By working closely with energy companies, regulators, and policymakers, Easee is aiming to transform the distributed network into a real-time energy resource capable of supporting system stability at both national and regional levels, it said.

Easee’s technology supports a smarter, more resilient energy system by enabling features such as smart charging, which adjusts EV charging speeds in real time to respond to grid conditions.

It also lays the groundwork for Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) readiness, preparing for a future where electric vehicles not only draw energy but also return it to the grid when needed.

Additionally, Easee’s Time-of-Use Optimisation feature shifts charging to periods when electricity is cheaper, cleaner, and more abundant – helping end users save money by aligning usage with grid capacity and sustainability goals.

The company said it was also actively seeking partnerships with national grid operators, regional energy
managers, municipalities, and private sector players to scale the benefits of its smart charging ecosystem and help future-proof the energy system.

Anthony Fernandez, CEO of Easee, said:

“The current energy infrastructure was not designed for the era of mass electrification. Charging can either overwhelm the grid or help stabilise it.

“Our long-term ambition is to expand our role within the energy ecosystem – turning every charger into a flexible, intelligent grid asset.”
