Perform a SmartCharge

This explains how to perform a regular SmartCharge. To set up SmartCharge automatically, you need to create a SmartCharge Charging rule.

1. Click to open the charge point
2. Select the SmartCharge tab
3. Select the car you are charging (optional)
   • If you have added your car, this will tell our system what is the battery capacity of your car
   • If you have also integrated your car, this will give the system a state of charge
4. Select the time frame for charging
   • Select when you want the car to be ready for pickup
   • You set a Delayed start, which will delay the start of the charge after that time point
   • Your car is always able to stop the charge if the battery limit in the car settings is reached
5. Adjust your SmartCharge preferences for the charge
   • Move the dot in the triangle to indicate how you want to balance your charging preference between low electricity cost, reduced CO2 emissions and use of renewable energy.
6. Slide to set up the SmartCharge session
   • The charge will start according to the Monta's SmartCharge algorithm calculation, even if you plug the car before that
