Introduction
Charging your vehicle at home can be quite taxing on the electrical installation. With Smappee smart charging you can optimize your charging sessions by maximizing self-consumption of energy produced by solar panels, and by charging during the cheapest possible periods.
Requirements
With a Smappee charging station, it is possible to optimize your charging sessions to charge as optimally as possible. In order for the Smappee charging station to offer the possibility to smart charge, there are certain prerequisites however.
- We only offer smart charging on the following product line:
-
- EV Wall
- EV One
- EV Base
-
- We do not offer smart charging on the Lite versions of our charging stations.
- It is required that the charging station is linked to an installation measuring both Grid and total solar production. In case of the Home version of our charging stations, the equipment to measure these loads are included (for 3 phase solar production a solar addon will be required).
The EV Base or the Business version of our chargers, will require a separate Infinity installation.
