GATEWAY, SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING THE CHARGE OF A PLURALITY OF VEHICLES IN AN ELECTRIC NETWORK

A method of managing a charge of a plurality of vehicles on a site, the site including a plurality of charging points and a gateway, the gateway being connected between an electricity grid of an electricity provider, configured to provide electricity to the gateway, and the plurality of charging points, the gateway including a controller and an electrical storage device that stores electrical energy. The method, operated by the controller, includes determining the electricity need of the plurality of charging points at a given time, if the electricity need of the plurality of charging points is greater than zero, determining the electrical consumption of the site, and if the electrical consumption of the site is greater than a predetermined site limit, providing electrical energy to the plurality of charging points using electricity at least partially received from the electrical storage device.
