Our chargers and smart app are compatible with all Octopus tariffs, including Octopus Intelligent Go.
Axle Energy is waEV-charge’s authorised flexibility services partner, helping power the smart charging and rewards functionality behind waEV-smart. Axle Energy helps balance electricity demand across the grid by intelligently shifting EV charging to more optimal times.
Customers must have a compatible waEV-charge charger, a SMETS2 smart meter installed and communicating correctly, an eligible dual rate electricity tariff and a compatible charging setup connected to waEV-smart.
If you need additional charging outside of your normal off-peak hours, you can either use Boost mode or temporarily extend your tariff schedule settings within the app.
waEV-smart is the smart charging platform from waEV-charge that helps optimise your EV charging automatically, allowing you to charge during cheaper periods and potentially earn rewards through smart energy balancing.
If smart scheduling is disabled, you can simply just plug the cable into the vehicle, and it will start charging until it’s either unplugged or fully charged. Additionally, you can still have smart scheduling enabled so you get all the added benefits of security functionality, but you just utilise the ‘boost charge’ function which will then charge the car immediately if plugged in.
