You are able to SmartCharge, following your electricity cost, including dynamic electricity tariffs. To do this, you can set up your electricity costs in Monta Charge.
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.
If you cannot see Enable Auto SmartCharge, then you need to set up a SmartCharge Charging rule.
To optimize our SmartCharge feature, we are now starting the charge right away but at lowest possible ampere. The charge point will pump in the absolute minimal kWh’s to the car, a number very close to 0, and then when we reach the scheduled time for charging it will start with the full charge. This allows us to check the connection to the charge point and make sure that everything is working until the charge is scheduled to start. When we reach the scheduled time to start, we ramp up the power to charge your vehicle. If something is not working, you will now be notified immediately instead of when the charging is scheduled to start.
Monta’s SmartCharge algorithm takes into consideration: It is possible that the SmartCharge does not start exactly when the electricity price is the cheapest, if you want to charge many kWh in a shorter period of time. After you have checked all the above mentioned factors, if have more questions, please reach out to our support team.
Monta’s SmartCharge algorythm uses Nordpool to receive the spot price information for different country areas. The data is updated hourly, so we can make sure that you will charge at the lowest cost, if that is your priority. If you want to customize the electricity cost to your personal utility agreement, we encourage you to set the charge point’s electricity cost in the Monta app as shown in this guide.
With SmartCharge preferences you can select what is the most important for you when you charge. You can balance your needs between three variables:
When you set your SmartCharge preferences, Monta uses this information to pool the data from different sources and determine when your charge should be scheduled to
