Sense announced the availability of EV Analytics, a new load management solution delivered through AMI 2.0 meters that offers electric vehicle (EV) detection and charging insights for smarter forecasting, distribution planning, and more efficient managed charging program delivery for utilities.

By processing waveform data at the grid edge, EV Analytics detects the presence of EVs, estimating Level 1 and Level 2 charge events, including start and stop times, as well as kilowatt-hour consumption.
The product marks the first grid-edge product from Sense, built specifically to meet utilities’ grid visibility and reliability needs.
Sense EV Analytics allows utilities to:
- Rely on edge computing. Analyze high-resolution waveform data locally on the meter using embedded AI and machine learning, delivering accurate detection and measurement that dramatically outperforms traditional 15-minute interval cloud models
- Support all vehicles and chargers. Identify and quantify EV charge events regardless of brand or charger type, removing the need for costly telematics or integrations
- Improve program efficiency. Reduce costs and increase enrollment in managed charging programs with reliable, grid-edge detection and measurement of EV charging
- Build scalable solutions. Leverage flexible communication protocols, including cellular, mesh, and WiFi—for seamless integration across utility systems
EV Analytics is the first solution in a suite of capabilities Sense will deliver over the coming months designed to transform grid-edge data into real-time action.
Embedded directly in capable AMI 2.0 smart meters, Sense enables utilities to detect charging behavior across all vehicles and chargers — without relying on proprietary telematics or cloud-based integrations that often create barriers to participation.
By eliminating these barriers, Sense opens the door for all consumers within a utility’s service area to participate in utility programs that will better motivate them to manage their EV charging costs and support grid reliability.
EV Analytics is currently available to utilities leveraging Landis+Gyr Revelo meters through the Sense EV Analytics App.
