## What is SVCE GridShift?

Automatically save on your electricity bills when you charge your EV with the GridShift app. Customers on an E-TOUC rate could save up to $100 per year; greater savings may be available on other time-of-use rates.
SET IT AND FORGET IT
Simply plug in your car at home and tell the app what time you need it charged by. GridShift takes care of the rest, choosing the cheapest and cleanest hours to charge your vehicle.
READY WHEN YOU NEED IT
Need your car to charge right away? Override our smart-charging schedule at any time by tapping the Boost button.
USE UP TO 70% LOWER-CARBON ENERGY FROM THE GRID
GridShift syncs your EV’s charging with renewable generation on the California grid. What’s more, between November and May each year, GridShift will alert you to plug in and charge on days with particularly abundant renewable generation, and reward you for your cleaner charging with credit back on your energy bill.
SUPPORT THE POWER GRID
GridShift will alert you during critical hours during the summer months when the power grid is under strain. Avoid charging and earn points for your chance to win a $50 energy bill credit.
TRACK YOUR CHARGING AT HOME AND ON THE GO
 The GridShift app tracks the energy, cost, and carbon impact of all your EV charging at home and on the go.
-----
GridShift is currently compatible with any Tesla, Volkswagen, and Jaguar/Land Rover EVs, as well as ChargePoint internet-connected home chargers. Additional compatible vehicles and chargers will be added in the coming months.

### 1/5 — Terrible!

*2025-02-01*

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t and then every certain amount of time your authorization expires and you don’t know until you plugged your car in last night, it popped up saying “charging started at 9pm” or whatever and then when you have a long drive in the morning you get in your car and it’s still at 19-friggen-percent! That’s genius! (No, not really)

### 1/5 — Compatibility

*2024-10-14*

The SVCE website says that the app is compatible with EV9s. I go to sign up in the app and it says that the EV9 is not compatible. Really frustrating.

### 1/5 — Not compatible with  VW ID4

*2021-09-30*

Even though it says VW is compatible I go through the entire sign up process to find out that the ID4 is not.  Grrr.

### 5/5 — What a great app!

*2021-08-12*

Not only do I appreciate the app controlling the optimal time to charge my Tesla, the 1:1 onboarding by ev.energy, the creator of the app was INCREDIBLY informative.  If you own an EV, this app is a must.

### 5/5 — Saved big $$$ off my energy bill

*2021-07-22*

I’ve been using this app for months and love the energy-bill savings I’m seeing. GridShift automatically charges me off-peak on EV2A which has saved me hundreds of $. The low-carbon events are a nice touch and make me feel better knowing I’m using renewable energy - the $20 bill credit was appreciated. Would recommend!
