NextGen Charge puts your electric-vehicle charger in your pocket. Monitor, control and schedule your NextGen home charger from anywhere, and see exactly what your charging costs. Whether your charger is online or you're standing right next to it, NextGen Charge keeps you in control. Watch your charging in real time. As your vehicle charges you can see live power, current, voltage, temperature and the energy delivered, and you can start or stop a charge at any time with a single tap. When you'd rather let it run on its own, set smart recurring schedules, such as overnight windows, so your car charges automatically when you want it to, or turn on Plug & Charge to have charging begin the moment you plug in. You can also set the maximum charging current to suit your installation. See what every charge really costs. Link your Octopus Energy account and NextGen Charge gives you accurate, tariff-based cost estimates for each session, alongside a full history of past sessions, energy used and estimated costs. Stay connected even when your charger is offline. Using Bluetooth, you can connect directly to a nearby charger to control it and send your Wi-Fi details to get it back online. And if your charger ever reports a fault, NextGen Charge sends you an alert so you're never left guessing. NextGen Charge works with NextGen Tethered and NextGen Untethered home chargers. You'll need a NextGen charger and an account to use the app. Your privacy matters to us. Your data is encrypted in transit, and any linked energy-account credentials are encrypted at rest. We never sell your personal data. See our Privacy Policy for full details. Questions? Email info@nextgencharge.co.uk or visit www.nextgencharge.co.uk.
