With energy prices fluctuating so often it would be incredibly difficult to monitor these changes and adjust your behaviour accordingly, and the standard charge timer built into electric vehicles isn’t able to calculate the cheapest, greenest times to power up either.
The free ev.energy app fits into your daily routine connecting to your vehicle or EV charger over the Internet and staying on top of these changing energy prices and carbon feeds. The app will then switch your charge on and off automatically so that you can enjoy smarter, cheaper and greener charging without even having to think about it.
All you need to do is set a ready-by time in the app to fit in with your routine, such as when you usually leave for work or do the school run, and we’ll connect with your electric vehicle or charger to take care of the rest. Easy!
You can override the usual settings by pressing the Boost button in the app if you need your vehicle sooner and want to charge it right away, just like with the heating system in your home. Plus, soon you’ll also be able to set a different ready-by time for each day of the week with Smart Schedule.
Better still, if you have solar panels installed, Solar Only Mode can find the local solar forecast in your area and automatically charge your vehicle with self-generated, zero-carbon, renewable energy when the sun is due to shine, unlocking further savings for you.
You can check the ev.energy app at any time to see a record of the cost, energy and carbon emissions for each charging session, both at home and away. Then, for each 10kWh smart charge, you can earn rewards including Amazon vouchers, Starbucks discounts and zero-carbon charging credits with ev.energy Rewards in-app!
