Frequently asked questions

Short answers on demand charges, Energy Guardian, Sourcewell, and who we work with. Deeper guides live on the pages linked below.

What is a demand charge?
A demand charge is a fee on a commercial electricity bill based on the highest rate of power a facility draws during a short interval — typically 15 minutes — in the billing period, not on how much total energy it used. Unmanaged EV charging can set that peak and price the whole month. Demand Charges 101 →
What is Energy Guardian?
Energy Guardian is a rate-aware energy optimization platform from EVready Energy. It measures the energy use behind EV charging and building loads, optimizes it against the utility tariff to control demand charges and electricity costs, and works across major charger networks rather than replacing existing hardware.

How does the Sourcewell contract work?
