What is waEV-smart?

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.
