We charge during cheap hours, but also when there is a surplus of energy. In doing so, we optimize on the EPEX and imbalance markets. We share the savings made as a result with you in the form of a bonus. You see this bonus increase in the app and we pay it out to you monthly. As a result, you are never more expensive, and often even cheaper, than if we had only loaded at the cheapest hours.
It is also important to note that we first “calibrate” for a short period of time, so we can better estimate how fast your car is charging and optimize the sessions afterwards. Also, the default settings of most cars and charging stations are such that when plugged in, charging is started immediately. Because we cannot manage charging immediately, the car may charge briefly after you plug it in. If prices are high, we stop charging as soon as possible.
