From Smart Charging to Leveraging Electric Vehicle Fleets as an Energy Asset. Drawing on real-world examples and feedback, we will demonstrate how smart charging and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology can optimize charging, integrate electric vehicles into a site’s overall energy management, and turn them into a driver of economic and environmental performance.

Morning Cafés Series
Toward Energy-Efficient Businesses and Communities
Against a backdrop of increasing electrification and cost control, energy is becoming a strategic issue for businesses.
Through this Morning Café series, we’ll share concrete insights drawn from our own facilities and operational practices.
Building, electric mobility, and smart manufacturing: three complementary levers for building an effective and sustainable energy strategy.
Upcoming topics:
- Implementing a key component of smart manufacturing: synchronizing manufacturing activities with energy performance
Insights on implementing energy monitoring for manufacturing activities with a low-cost investment (sensors and open-source software).
