Other commonly asked questions

What is a Smart tariff?

A Smart tariff is specifically designed for energy-provider-controlled EV charging, where your energy supplier directly manages and controls when your vehicle charges. Examples include Intelligent Octopus Go, EON Next Smart and OVO Charge Anytime.

Do I need to change energy providers or be on a specific tariff for this to charge my car?

You do not need to be with any specific energy provider or tariff for your EV charger to work, it’s just advised to speak to your energy company as most offer off peak charging tariffs which can save you a significant amount in charging costs if utilised.

Can I use waEV-smart without connecting my car?

Yes. Vehicle integration is optional and can be skipped during setup.

Can I use waEV-smart alongside tariffs such as Intelligent Octopus Go or OVO Charge Anytime?

No. Tariffs such as Intelligent Octopus Go, EON Next Smart and OVO Charge Anytime cannot currently be used in conjunction with waEV-smart smart scheduling or rewards. These tariffs require the energy provider to have direct control over charging sessions, which conflicts with waEV-smart scheduling functionality.

Where can I find my Access Code?

Your Access Code can be found at the back of the installer manual supplied with your charger.
