eTreego Partners with ITRI to Launch AI-Powered Smart EV Bus Charging Management System
As Taiwan accelerates its goal of fully electrifying all 16,000 public buses by 2030, large-scale EV bus charging infrastructure is becoming a critical challenge for transportation operators. When multiple electric buses charge simultaneously, effective power load management is essential. Exceeding contracted grid capacity can lead to significant penalty fees and even increase the risk of power outages.

｜Breaking through bottlenecks: 5 key achievements of AI-powered smart charging management
ITRI developed a "Smart Charging System" to address this issue, and it has been officially implemented and demonstrated at the Chung-Hsing Bus Terminal in the Northern Taiwan Science Park. The system integratesinteractive charging management system, AI algorithms, and remote monitoring technology, achieving remarkable results.
- Significantly Reduces Grid Load Pressure: Contracted capacity demand reduced by 50%
- Reduces Operating Costs: Annual electricity savings up to NT$8 million
- Extends EV Battery Lifespan: Real-time battery health monitoring extends battery life by 20%
- Replaces Manual Shift Scheduling: Automated smart scheduling saves over 20% on labor costs
- Ensures Uninterrupted Service: Stable operation even during grid outages; automatically allocates the optimal charging sequence based on electricity pricing, time of day, and remaining battery capacity.
｜A milestone for Taiwan's smart EV charging industry
Thanks to its outstanding technical capabilities and proven results, this system won the 2025 Edison Award Silver Medal, recognizing the outstanding achievements of ITRI’s R&D team. eTreego and gochabar are very honored to participate in this forward-looking project, working together with ITRI to promote the implementation of cutting-edge innovative technologies by providing highly reliable EV charging hardware and EMS back-end system support, and continuously collaborate with industry partners for the ideal future of vehicle electrification.
