How does the Smart Charge Management program work?
Once your EV is enrolled in the Smart Charge Management program, your vehicle charging at home will be managed by evPulse each time you plug in.
To schedule your EV charging time, evPulse considers a series of factors, including, your electric rate, the hourly price of energy, and current electricity demand in your neighborhood. evPulse then automatically schedules your EV to charge during times that are best for the electric grid.
evPulse identifies the lowest-cost periods you can charge in order to meet your upcoming driving needs (while considering overall grid conditions) and automatically schedules your EV to charge during those periods.
You'll receive notifications about your upcoming schedule through your preferred method (web and/or SMS texts) and can skip your proposed charge schedule if needed.
To set your departure time, view your target battery level, or enable Low Battery Protection, you can visit your evPulse dashboard and update your settings.
