How does automatic smart charging work?
Automatic Smart Charging is available to customers who enroll in the EV GridWise+ program and select the participation option for Automatic Smart Charging. This participation option is only available for customers who enroll with a Tesla vehicle, Wallbox®, or ChargePoint® home charging station.
The Automatic Smart Charging participation option is not recommended for customers with shared metering for vehicle charging, such as an apartment complex garage.
Once your EV is connected in the registration process and you've been enrolled in the program, your charging will be optimally scheduled each time you plug in at home.
evPulse identifies the lowest-cost periods you can charge in order to meet your upcoming driving needs (while considering overall grid conditions) and automatically schedules your EV to charge during those periods.
You'll receive notifications about your upcoming schedule through your preferred method (web and/or SMS texts) and can skip your proposed charge schedule if needed.
