Electric vehicle charging via Enercity's SmartLading app becomes more intelligent and cost-effective.
Enercity AG, a leading energy provider, has launched the SmartLaden app, designed to optimise electric vehicle (EV) charging for cost-effectiveness and sustainability. Here's what you need to know about this innovative app:
Getting Started
After downloading the app and registering your vehicle, you're ready to start using SmartLaden. A smart meter and a dynamic tariff are required to make the most of the app's features.
Smart Scheduling for Cost Savings
The SmartLaden app schedules charging sessions during off-peak hours when electricity prices are lower. This intelligent scheduling helps reduce the cost of charging for users, potentially saving up to 30% on charging costs, depending on the user's charging habits and flexibility.
Renewable Energy Integration for a Greener Future
SmartLaden prioritises charging when renewable energy sources, such as solar or wind power, are abundant on the grid. By aligning charging times with green energy availability, it minimises the carbon footprint of EV charging, promoting a more sustainable future.
Grid Load Management for Stability and Efficiency
The app optimises charging to avoid peak demand periods, helping reduce strain on the electrical grid. This approach supports grid stability and efficiency, ensuring a reliable energy supply for all.
User Preferences for Convenience
SmartLaden takes into account the user's driving needs and preferences, ensuring the vehicle is charged sufficiently by the required departure time without unnecessary energy use. Users can even set a desired battery level to be reached at a specific time every day via the app.
A Smarter, More Attractive Electric Mobility
Aurélie Alemany, CEO of Enercity AG, states that "SmartLaden brings the energy transition to home charging stations, making electric mobility smarter and more attractive." Plans are in place to expand the compatibility of the SmartLaden app to other car brands.
No Contract Required
Importantly, no contract with Enercity is required to use the SmartLaden app. Users can enjoy the benefits of smarter, cost-effective EV charging without any long-term commitments.
At Launch, Compatible with Major Car Brands
At launch, SmartLaden is compatible with selected car brands including VW, Audi, BMW, Cupra, Mercedes, Tesla, Renault, Skoda, Kia, and Hyundai. Plans are underway to expand compatibility to other brands, making SmartLaden accessible to a wider audience.
In conclusion, Enercity's SmartLaden app offers a solution for those seeking to reduce their EV charging costs while promoting sustainability. By using the app, users can take advantage of lower electricity prices, prioritise renewable energy, and support grid stability, all while ensuring their vehicle is charged to their preferred level for their daily needs.
