Other commonly asked questions

Do I need to update my charger before using waEV-smart?

Am I eligible for flex charging rewards?

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.

Does my vehicle need to be integrated with waEV-smart?

No. Vehicle integration is optional. However, integrating your vehicle allows waEV-smart to read the vehicle state of charge directly, meaning you can set a target battery percentage rather than selecting a specific kWh amount.
