**[Electric vehicle](https://wirelesslogic.com/electric-vehicles/) (EV) charging forms part of a transformed energy infrastructure that is more efficient, sustainable and resilient****. The energy infrastructure that powers the EV charge point rollout needs to be smart, managing inputs and outputs to optimise capacity and distribution. **

**The **[**IoT provides connectivity**](https://wirelesslogic.com/iot-solutions/)** for monitoring and management, contributing t****o an understanding of network load and supporting the maintenance of EV infrastructure.**

 

AI Journal recently published insights into what electric vehicles and the IoT contribute to the smart grid. **[The article](https://protect-eu.mimecast.com/s/NDu2CwKD8cGygEzIVbz8c?domain=aijourn.com/) **explores:

- **What is the smart grid?** – more intelligent than the traditional grid, the smart grid can be more dynamically managed to meet power demand
- **What do electric vehicles contribute?** – by monitoring charge points, operators can understand the load they place on the network. EV charging infrastructure can even feed energy back into the grid
- **What infrastructure is needed to support electric vehicles?** – the UK is expected to have 300,000 charge points by 2030. These charge points must be available, operational and secure
- **How does the IoT connect EV charge points?** – connectivity enables performance monitoring, hardware maintenance and usage management. Cellular connectivity meets the need for scalable EV charge point deployment without the disruption of cabling.
