HUB from RVE: White Paper on Critical Risks of Primary-Side Only Monitoring

May 1, 2026

In multifamily buildings, the electricity meters are supplied by transformers or by the main electrical service panel, whose capacity has not initially been planned to supply an electric vehicle charging infrastructure for 100% of the units simultaneously.

RVE’s HUB is an energy management system (EVEMS) that eliminates the need to upgrade electrical infrastructure; it is specifically designed to protect a building’s electrical infrastructure through its monitoring and control functions.

But to ensure the HUB effectively protects electrical infrastructure and prevents hardware failure, monitoring must occur where the load volatility exists: the secondary side. Relying solely on primary-side monitoring introduces significant blind spots that jeopardize equipment safety.

To understand the real impacts of these blind spots and how to avoid them, read RVE’s white paper below.
