Other commonly asked questions

What is a Dynamic tariff?

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.

How do waEV-smart rewards work?

waEV-smart rewards are based on the number of eligible smart charging sessions completed each month. Currently, customers completing 3 charge sessions or more will receive £5, 15 charge sessions or more will receive £10, and 30 charge sessions or more will receive £15. Customers must also have a compatible SMETS2 smart meter installed and be on an eligible dual rate tariff to qualify for rewards. Rewards are not guaranteed and are subject to change. waEV-Smart reserves the right to change the amount of rewards at any time via email notice to you.

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.

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.

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.
