“Hungary's EV charging network operators are temporarily restricting their services due to high nationwide strain on the power grid. The restrictions aim to mitigate peak load between 17:00 and 22:00, when electricity consumption is exceptionally high due to air conditioning use.”

Hungary's EV charging network operators are taking measures to reduce the strain on the power grid, which is experiencing high demand due to a heatwave and drought. The restrictions include reduced power output, higher prices, and temporary shutdowns of charging points.

Key Insights

MOL, E.ON, and Shell are reducing the power of their fast chargers during evening hours, while some providers are opting for higher prices or temporarily switching off charging points to mitigate the peak load between 17:00 and 22:00.
