How does smart off-peak work?
Optimize your charging with smart off-peak
Cost-efficient charging:
Smart off-peak mode charges your car exclusively during your tariff’s off-peak hours, helping to minimize energy costs. Ideal if off-peak charging provides enough power for your EV's needs.
Initiating a smart charge session:
Enable smart off-peak before plugging in your car. If the car is already plugged in while enabling, the smart charge session will not be triggered.
