*Up to £15/month available to participants with a half-hourly smart meter (SMETS1 enrolled in DCC, or SMETS2). Equivalent to approximately 750 miles per month at £0.08/kWh and 0.250 kWh/mile. Earnings vary with charging frequency and grid demand.
waEV-smart is a free app that turns your home EV charging into a small monthly income. Instead of you having to remember to set timers and chase cheap rates, waEV-smart does it for you - automatically charging your car when electricity is cheapest and the grid needs the help most. You don't change your routine or your supplier. You just plug in when you get home and wake up to a charged car. We pay you for the bits in between.
Our app works with a wide range of tariffs, including fixed and variable options from major providers like British Gas and Scottish Power. Please note, it does not integrate with intelligent controlled tariffs like those offering real-time pricing adjustments.
and more...
That's the whole effort. No schedules, no apps to tap, no thinking.
We optimise charging in the background - pulling power when it's cheapest for you and most useful for the grid. Your car is ready when you need it.
Your earnings build up in your waEV-smart account. Withdraw to your bank, or use them however you like.
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.
The Charger Lock function is coming soon. Once available, charging outside of your configured off-peak tariff window will be restricted unless Boost mode is manually activated.
waEV-smart is the smart charging platform from waEV-charge that helps optimise your EV charging automatically, allowing you to charge during cheaper periods and potentially earn rewards through smart energy balancing.
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.
A Single Rate tariff means your electricity costs the same price all day and night.
