EV charging technology is evolving rapidly. What was cutting-edge two years ago is now standard, and the innovations emerging today will define how fleets, buildings, and grids interact with electric vehicles for the next decade. Here's what's shaping the future of EV charging — and how Greems stays ahead of the curve. Bidirectional Charging (V2G and V2H) Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) and Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) technologies allow EVs to not just consume electricity, but also return it

Buying an EV is just the beginning — choosing the right charger is equally important. The wrong choice can mean slow charging, incompatibility, or a system that can't grow with your needs. This guide walks you through the key factors to consider. 1. Safety Certifications Always choose a charger with CE marking and compliance with IEC 61851 standards. Look for built-in protections: earth leakage protection, overcurrent protection, and weatherproofing (IP rating) appropriate fo

Installing an EV charging system in Israel requires compliance with official guidelines published by the Israeli Electricity Authority. Whether you're installing at home, in a shared building, or at a business, understanding these requirements ensures your installation is safe, legal, and future-proof. Who Can Install? EV charging installations in Israel must be performed by a licensed electrician (Hashmalay Musmach) who is qualified to work on the relevant type of electrical

One of the most common questions when choosing a home or business EV charger is: single-phase or three-phase? The answer depends on your vehicle, your electrical supply, and your charging speed needs. Here's a clear breakdown. Single-Phase Charging Single-phase charging uses a standard 230V supply and delivers up to 7.4kW of power. It's the most common setup in Israeli homes. A typical EV with a 60kWh battery will charge fully overnight (8–9 hours) on single-phase — perfectly

Before any EV charger is installed, a professional site survey is the essential first step. Skipping it leads to costly surprises — wrong cable lengths, insufficient electrical capacity, or a charger placed in the wrong location. At Greems, every deployment starts with a thorough site assessment to guarantee a smooth, code-compliant installation. What Does a Site Survey Involve? Electrical panel assessment: The surveyor checks your main distribution board's current capacity a

Choosing an EV charger for your home or business seems simple — but the difference between a basic charger and a smart OCPP-enabled charger is enormous. Understanding what OCPP 1.6J brings to the table helps you make a decision that saves money, enables future growth, and integrates with platforms like Greems. Basic Home EV Charger A basic charger (sometimes called a "dumb" charger) plugs in and charges — that's it. There's no communication with any backend system, no remote
