Read full descriptionHide full description
Control your home charger from your phone and charge your car on solar or in the cheapest hours. Charge on solar and in cheap hours - Charge only on what your solar panels have to spare, or always charge a little and faster when there is solar to spare. - Dynamic tariffs: charging follows the day-ahead price per quarter hour and starts on its own in the cheapest hours. - Day and night schedules for a fixed day and night tariff. - Load balancing: a connected meter measures what your home uses, and the charger slows down before your main fuse trips. Works with your charger Plugchoice works with OCPP chargers from more than 300 brands, depending on model, firmware and configuration. If your charger is already connected to another platform, for example your employer's, Plugchoice relays that connection and the billing carries on. Control from your phone - Start and stop from the sofa. The charger responds within a few seconds. - Lock your charger so no session starts, or let it start as soon as you plug in. - Add charge cards and give each one a name. - See every session with start time, card, kWh and duration. - Invite your household with their own login. Each person sees their own sessions. Connect your smart home Twelve smart home and automation platforms can control your charger through Plugchoice. Questions? Chat with us in the app.
