As electric vehicles land in driveways across Michigan, one of the state’s largest utilities will deploy 18,000 artificial intelligence-powered devices to better understand their impact on the electric grid.
Consumers Energy says the modules, to be installed on electric meters used by EV owners, will provide “real-time data analytics and predictions” to assess how cars and trucks juiced by home charging stations can be accommodated while maintaining reliability.
“Consumers Energy is building a stronger grid and a smarter one that will seamlessly power the next generation of clean vehicles,” said Lauren Snyder, the company’s vice president of customer experience, in a statement. “This allows us to quickly put the latest in technology to work, as we accommodate growing numbers of EVs parked in driveways across our state.”
