Revel is using several methods to balance the load from its EV charging superhub in Brooklyn in a way that supports the local grid. One approach is managing the schedule of its ride-share electric vehicle fleet, keeping cars on the road during peak times and off the road overnight. Another key strategy is participating in the GridRewards demand response program run by Logical Buildings. Through GridRewards, Revel can earn incentives from Con Edison for reducing power usage during times when the grid needs relief, helping to integrate the superhub's charging load. Managing charging loads and utilizing demand response will be important tools for scaling up EV infrastructure while avoiding overloading congested urban grids like New York City's.
