What if I don’t want to utilise smart scheduling, how can I still use the charger?

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.

Can waEV-smart currently support Smart tariffs?

At present, waEV-smart does not support Smart tariffs where charging must be fully controlled by the energy provider. If Smart is selected during setup, the app will display an error message explaining that this tariff type is currently unsupported due to a control conflict between the supplier-managed charging system and waEV-smart scheduling.

How secure are waEV-charge EV chargers?

The waEV-charge EV chargers can only be operated once the unique RFID waEV-Card is swiped or ev.energy smart charging app is activated therefore you’re fully protected from unauthorised use.
