The flexibility from smart EV charging can be utilised to help balance the electricity grid. To be able to deliver these grid services, we need to share data about you and your charging with the 3rd party Grid Operator and flexibility service providers in your area. In the UK, that's your address, Meter Point ID number and anonymized charging data.
Please refer to our privacy policy for the full list of third parties we work with and the data we'll share.
What's in it for me?

Will this affect when my car charges?
We always put YOU first, when optimising your charging. You're still in full control of your "ready by" time and can "Boost" charge whenever you need to. However, if there is extra flexibility within your charging schedule, then ev.energy will automatically select the best times for the grid and the environment to help you charge cheaper and greener.
