Most smart tariffs include an override, boost or charge-now option for times when you need to charge immediately.
- This option is usually found in your energy provider's app.
- It may be called something like Boost, Charge Now, Override or similar, depending on the provider.
- This allows you to charge your vehicle outside of the usual smart charging schedule.
- Urgent charging may take place outside the cheapest tariff window.
- This means it may cost more than scheduled smart charging.
- If you regularly need to charge urgently, it may be worth reviewing your smart charging settings or tariff setup.
