They want to schedule when to charge – or ensure that their car charges automatically when the electricity price is at its lowest. Cause, let’s face it, by charging smart, you can reduce your charging costs considerably. 

 

-Många kommer hem från jobbet på eftermiddagen och börjar ladda sin bil direkt. Det kan snabbt bli dyrt eftersom man då laddar från cirka 16.00 till 19.00 - en tidsperiod då elpriset ofta är som högst.

Genom att hålla ett öga på elpriserna och ladda när elen är som billigast, ofta under natten, kan du halvera dina laddkostnader.

There are different ways to charge smart. A common misconception is that you need a smart charger to charge smart. The actual charger is located in the car, and most electric cars today have the built-in technology and functionality that makes them smart enough to let us customize when and how we charge them. Your charging box (e.g. an Amina Charger) works to ensure a safe and efficient way to control the flow of energy from the fuse box, through the charging cable and to your car. 

Different ways to schedule your EV charging: 

Använd de smarta laddningslösningarna i din bil:

I de flesta nyare elbilar kan du schemalägga när du vill att bilen ska dra ström från din laddbox. Detta görs direkt från bilens instrumentpanel eller från biltillverkarens app.

Use the smart charging solutions from your electricity provider. 

Many electricity providers offer smart charging solutions that allow you to charge your car automatically when electricity prices are at their lowest. Tibber and Haugaland Kraft are good examples of such providers. They both allow you to connect your car to their apps, regardless of which charger you have at home. Lyse is also launching a smart charging solution in the near future. 

By using the smart charging solutions provided by your car or electricity provider, the only thing you really need is a charging box that ensures safe and efficient charging. Like the Amina charger. Together they’re smart. 

Smarta appar för laddning 

You can find free smart charging apps that let you connect your car and electricity prices. These apps recommend when to charge your electric vehicle to save money on lower electricity rates. They also provide insights into your charging costs and savings.
