A smart tariff is an energy tariff designed to help EV drivers charge at cheaper or more efficient times, often by scheduling charging automatically.
- Smart tariffs can offer cheaper electricity during certain periods.
- Some smart tariffs dynamically schedule charging when energy is cheapest.
- With a compatible charger or vehicle and energy supplier, your charging can be planned around these lower-cost periods.
- Your energy provider may control when your vehicle charges to help you make the most of cheaper electricity.
- These charging times may vary and will not always match traditional off-peak hours.
- Smart tariffs usually require integration with either your vehicle or your charger.
