Charge smarter,
pay less.
Intelligent charging that adapts to your grid, energy prices, and solar production. Save money while charging sustainably.
What is Smart Charging?
EV charging should be simple. But between limited home power, fluctuating energy prices, and wasted solar—it's not. Smart Charging solves these problems automatically.
Read documentationLimited grid capacity
Home fuses (25A–40A) can't handle full-speed charging while running appliances.
Wasted solar energy
Excess solar sent to the grid now costs you money instead of earning it.
Volatile energy prices
Dynamic tariffs swing wildly—charging at the wrong time costs 3× more.
Power Management
Optimize how much power flows to your charger in real-time, based on grid capacity and solar production.
Tariff Management
Control when your car charges to minimize costs based on electricity prices.
I used to dread my electricity bill after charging. Now with Smart Charging, my car charges on solar during the day and cheap rates at night. It just works.
Dynamic Load
Balancing
Your main fuse has a limit. When you charge your EV while running appliances, you risk overloading the circuit. Load Balancing monitors consumption in real-time and adjusts charging to stay safe.
Peak Shaving
Set a building limit below your main fuse to avoid peak demand charges. Many utilities charge extra taxes when you exceed certain thresholds — Peak Shaving keeps you under that limit automatically.
- Monitors main fuse via wireless meter
- Reduces charging when demand is high
- Peak Shaving to avoid demand taxes
- Prevents circuit breaker trips
- Resumes full speed when available
Avoid peak demand taxes
Solar
Balancing
Use your own solar energy before it goes to the grid. The charger monitors your solar production and adjusts charging to maximize self-consumption. Free energy from your roof, straight to your car.
- Uses excess solar production first
- Reduces grid feed-in (avoids costs)
- Charges when your panels produce
- Works with any inverter brand
Power
Sharing
Split available power across multiple chargers intelligently. When one car finishes, others get more power. Perfect for homes with multiple EVs or small parking facilities.
- Dynamically distributes available power
- Prioritizes based on departure time
- Balances across all connected chargers
- No need for expensive grid upgrades
Phase-Aware
Charging
In 3-phase installations, unbalanced loads can cause issues. Phase-Aware Charging distributes power evenly across L1, L2, and L3 phases, maximizing throughput while keeping the system stable.
Tracks Every Phase
We monitor power usage on all three phases separately, giving us a complete picture of your electrical capacity.
Smart Distribution
When one phase is busy, we automatically use the available capacity on other phases. No wasted potential.
Maximum Speed, Always Safe
Every car gets the fastest possible charge while your building's electrical system stays protected.
Car A uses only L1 → Car B gets full power on L2 & L3
Dynamic Tariff
Charging
With dynamic energy contracts, prices change every hour. Plugchoice fetches the next day's prices and schedules your charging during the cheapest windows. Set your departure time and let the system optimize.
- Fetches day-ahead prices automatically
- Schedules charging in cheapest hours
- Automatic mode
- Works with all European energy providers
Scheduled
Charging
Not on a dynamic contract? Set fixed time windows for low-rate charging. Perfect for night tariffs or employer-subsidized charging windows.
- Avoid high tariffs
- Set custom time window
- Override for urgent charging
- Simple setup in the app
