What is Smart Charging

Smart Charging is a technology used for charging electric vehicles (EVs).

Instead of starting the charging process immediately and at full power, it is intelligently managed – for example, based on:

The goal: reduce costs, ease the load on the power grid, and charge more sustainably.


How can I use Smart Charging in practice?

  1. To optimize costs:
    Your vehicle automatically charges when electricity is cheapest – typically at night or during times of energy surplus.

  2. With user-controlled settings:
    You can define your preferences, such as:

    • A time frame for charging
      (e.g., between 11:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.)
    • A target battery level
      (e.g., 80% charge)

Charging is then planned automatically in the background, according to your preferences.
