How Guardian Slashes EV Charging Demand Charges & Unifies Multi‑Network Sites

This EVready podcast episode dives deep into Energy Guardian, an advanced energy management platform built for commercial EV charging sites and fleets. Guardian helps owners of Level 2 and DC fast chargers reduce demand charges, control building load in real time, and integrate chargers from multiple networks and hardware vendors under one pane of glass. The conversation explores how Guardian aggregates live meter data, charger telemetry, and utility rate schedules to optimize charging while protecting driver experience. Guardian sits above traditional charge management systems, normalizing different APIs and protocols so mixed hardware and multi-cloud EV charging environments can be orchestrated as a single energy resource. The platform continuously monitors building load, charger status, and EV sessions to smooth peaks, manage demand charges, and support demand response events and future grid services. This makes it ideal for fleets, dealerships, retail sites, and any high-usage EV charging location with complex utility tariffs and high power bills.
