Other commonly asked questions

What if I need more charge than my off-peak schedule allows?

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.

Do you offer an installation service?

waEV-charge work alongside a network of EV installers to cover the UK Nationwide, therefore we are able to offer the complete sales, install and aftercare package. Once your order is placed, we will connect you with your local installer.

How do grid services and flex charging work?

waEV-smart participates in flexibility services designed to help balance demand on the UK electricity grid. Charging can be intelligently shifted to lower demand periods or times where more renewable energy is available, helping reduce grid strain while still ensuring your vehicle is charged when needed.

What happens if the consumer unit fails after the 12-month warranty?

You can either contact ourselves or a local electrician to replace the breaker. If via ourselves this would cost a one-time £120 +VAT fee which includes parts and labour.

What should I select if I’m on a Smart tariff?

If your energy provider requires full control of charging sessions, we currently recommend using the provider’s native smart charging functionality rather than waEV-smart scheduling.
