Your EV will be charged on time and as much as needed
You can set the following parameters in the app:
- desired charging hours;
- minimum battery charging level;
- maximum electricity price threshold;
- smart charging location.
Should your plans change, and you need to charge the battery to full within the shortest period, you can stop the smart charging function by a press of a button.
Set the charging settings based on personal needs.

You save while acting responsibly
When the electricity demand and the prices peak, usually in the evening from 6 to 10 pm, the majority of the electricity is generated from burning fossil fuel.
Meanwhile, during the nights and on weekends, when electricity demand and price are lower, the majority of electricity is generated from renewable energy sources (wind, solar, hydro).
So, if you are charging your EV when the electricity is cheaper, you will save as well as contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.

Easy to get started
Download the “EnergySmart app”
If you do not have the EnergySmart app yet, download it from Google Play or App Store.
Add your EV to your account
Link your EnergySmart account with the account of your EV manufacturer.
Choose personal settings
Set the time when your EV must be charged. Select the hours you want your EV to be charged. You can also choose the maximum electricity price threshold and your smart charging location. Activate the service.
Save money
You will be able to see how much you have saved when charging your EV with the help of our app.
If you will be using the service without the “Smart (hourly)” plan, you will only see potential savings.
“Smart (hourly)” plan
In order to take advantage of all the benefits the EnergySmart app provides, you will need an independent electricity supply plan “Smart (hourly)”.
More about the plan
What do you need to know?
It’s simple to set up smart charging. After downloading the EnergySmart app, set up your account and perform the following steps:
- Add your EV (you can add up to 2 EVs).
- Currently, you can add the EVs of the following manufacturers: Audi e-tron, Cupra, Hyundai, Volkswagen, KIA, Seat, Škoda and Tesla. The app is constantly being improved, so that as many EVs can be used with it as possible.
- Select the EV you want to smart charge.
- Personalise the smart charging settings.
- Activate the service.
The EnergySmart app indicates the savings you made from when you started using the smart charging app. This is calculated based on the hours when the charging was suspended while the electricity market price was high. The app adds up the time when the car was not charging during such hours and calculates the market price at the time, including VAT (which is not the final price because, besides the market price component, the consumer also pays transmission, distribution and other final tariff components).
Prosumers, please note!
- The app does not include the use of energy stored in the network.
- The app only relies on electricity price in the market and does not account for the electricity generated in real time or stored in the network.
Charging the EV when electricity is cheaper contributes to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This is effect is driven by the interrelation of electricity prices, its demand and generation sources.
The dynamics of electricity prices are related to fluctuating demand. Electricity demand itself is responsible for the generation sources required. Lower prices mean the demand is lower, and the larger share of electricity is generated using renewable energy sources (wind, solar and hydro). When the electricity prices rise due to the demand, the demand is then covered by burning fossil fuels. This way low electricity prices correlate with lower energy consumption and lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
You can enter in the app the location of a smart charging place, for example, your home. In that case, when coming back to or leaving that place, the smart charging function will turn on and off automatically.
You can also smart charge your EV at other places (for example, at your homestead). However, in order to save money, such places must have a “Smart (hourly)” plan (otherwise, you will only see potential savings). Bear in mind that the place where your EV is being charged must also be indicated in the app as a smart charging place.
In case you need to charge your EV immediately, please turn off the smart charging function. You can do this by simply pressing the slider at the bottom of the app “Turn off / Turn on”.
