Case Study: Krafthem balances the Nordic grid and cuts EV electricity costs with Smartcar

Smartcar and Krafthem partner to provide cheaper and more sustainable electricity to EV owners

Krafthem, a Swedish utility company focused on helping balance the Nordic electric grid, needed a way to support its demand response program for EV owners. To do that, it turned to Smartcar’s platform to connect with customers’ electric vehicles and access the vehicle data needed to manage charging more intelligently.

Using Smartcar, Krafthem can securely connect customers’ EVs, monitor key vehicle data like state of charge and charging status, and remotely start and stop charging through API requests. The solution powers Krafthem’s AI-driven electricity contracts, helping customers cut electricity costs by up to 50% while reducing carbon emissions and improving grid efficiency.
