There are many ways you can customize your charge at home with Monta! Here are the different ways you can start and control your charging on your personal charge point.
Before you can start charging you need to do is to add and connect your charge point to your Monta account. To do so, please check out the collection of installation guides we have available.
When your charge point is connected, you will see it under navigation Chargers as Available.
You can also set your charge point to start charging automatically when the cable is plugged in the car. For this, you just need to enable the Auto Start function on your charge point.
If you cannot see Enable Auto Start, then you need to set up a Charge immediately Charging rule.
You can set up to charge when the electricity price is cheapest, or using low CO2 or renewable energies.

With Auto SmartCharge, the SmartCharge charge session will be automatically set up after you plug in the car. You need to perform at least one SmartCharge session before you use Auto SmartCharge.

No, once you have connected the charge point to Monta, we become the operator of the charge point.
Both SmartCharge and Scheduled charging allows you to perform a charge in a specific time window. SmartCharge uses your SmartCharge preferences, as well as the required charge amount (kWh needed to charge your car), in order to calculate the most suitable time for your charge to begin and end. Scheduled charge should be used when you want to charge your car in an exact time window. Monta will send a start command at the beginning of the time window. The charge will stop either when your car signals it is full or by Monta sending a stop signal at the end time.
