The dashed line is how much power your connection to the grid can supply. Peak price here is 3pm to 9pm; times vary by network and tariff. Tap the chart to jump to that time. An example site, not a quote: your own limit and usage come from a site check and your meter data.

How load management works

  1. It watches the whole siteA small meter at your main switchboard reads how much power everything on site is using, every second.
  2. It works out the spare powerWhatever is left under your limit is shared between the vehicles plugged in.
  3. It speeds up and slows downWhen the site gets busy the chargers slow down. When it goes quiet they speed up. The vehicles are still ready for the morning run.
  4. It can wait for cheaper powerIf there’s enough time to fill every vehicle before it leaves, charging holds off until peak prices end. If there isn’t, it charges only what it has to during the peak.

Why it matters

  • No tripped powerChargers can't push the site over its limit and trip the main breaker.
  • No costly upgradeMore chargers on the supply you already have, instead of paying for a bigger one.
  • Lower demand chargesFlatter evening use keeps the spikes that set demand charges down.
  • Cheaper chargingCharging moves out of peak time and into the night, when grid power is usually cheapest.
