A Dynamic tariff changes electricity pricing throughout the day based on wholesale energy market conditions, allowing waEV-smart to optimise charging around lower-cost periods.
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.
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.
Flex charging can help reduce charging costs, increase renewable energy usage, reduce pressure on the electricity grid and allow customers to earn smart charging rewards.
If the integration disconnects for any reason, such as the vehicle manufacturer service going offline, the charger will default to charging at the maximum rate during the configured off-peak charging period, provided the vehicle is plugged in.
Open the waEV-charge Installer App, select Owner Settings, choose your charger, enter the Access Code, select Firmware Update and enter firmware version 49.59. Wait approximately 5 minutes after confirmation before proceeding.
