No subscription, no fees, no catch
*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.
A cost-per-session feature is currently being added, which will allow users to enter their electricity tariff pricing and view estimated charging session costs.
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.
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.
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.
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.
