Monta’s InstantCharge
Monta’s SmartCharging automates when and how your EV charges, based on real-time electricity prices, grid data, and your preferences. It helps you save money, cut CO₂, and use greener energy, all while ensuring your car is ready when you need it.
What are the benefits?
Always being on your toes about finding the right time window for charging your electric vehicle can be tiring – there are too many things to take into account. This is why SmartCharging can make a difference, as it allows you to enjoy a number of benefits:
Lower charging costs
Charge during cheaper time slots to reduce your overall electricity expenses.

How does it work?
If you’re interested in using SmartCharging, you need your own home charge point. Monta is compatible with most hardware brands, so SmartCharge works with any model listed here.
Once you have a charge point, you need to install the Monta app on your phone. Then, as soon as your charge point is connected to the internet via SIM or WiFi, you can connect it to Monta and configure it to your EV and charging needs.
