How it works with SmartCharge

Minimal effort, maximum reward
The great thing about SmartCharge is just how easy it is. We do all the hard work to find the best way to charge your EV so it’s ready when you need it. The biggest difference you’ll notice? Lower monthly bills.
The easiest way to go greener
When demand on the grid is low, more of the electricity available comes from renewable sources – like wind and solar. So as well as saving you money, SmartCharge means you’ll charge with greener energy. You can see how much carbon you’ve saved in your monthly statement.
