Peak Energy has the most advanced smart-charging algorithm in the market, helping you to save up to 70% on your charging costs. But don’t take our word for it, just try it out yourself. The setup takes just 3-5 minutes and requires no additional hardware. Remember to disable any other smart-charging app before using Peak Energy to smart-charge your EV.

In that case you can still use our smart-charging algorithm in order to charge your EV in the most environmentally-friendly way possible. If you also want to save money while charging, you will however need to switch to hourly rate pricing.

In order to use our smart-charging algorithm, we need you to provide us with a home location. Smart-charging will only happen at the home location.

This should be the location you charge the most at and where you have access to hourly rate pricing. This is usually your home, but it could also be your workplace, if that is the place where you charge your EV most of the time.

The way our app works currently is that our smart-charging algorithm is only activated at the home location you set, and disabled everywhere else away from this location.

The smart charging is available with a radius of 400m around your home location.

We make sure to optimize the charging process of your EV for the lowest electricity prices possible, also taking the available time window for charging into consideration (set by the Ready-by-time setting). This means, the more time or the faster charging power you have, the higher the chances are that you will benefit from charging at the lowest prices possible.

By enabling the “Safe range”, the app will disregard the minimum target charging level setting and always tries to charge to the maximum target charging level, which you can read more about below.

Normally you will reach at least the minimum target charging level charged by the time specified by you in the app (Ready-by-time). The expected battery level, which in some occasions can be both larger and smaller than the minimum target charging level, is displayed as a percentage on the main screen, just above the charge graph.

This is the minimum battery level that we aim to charge. If the prices are extraordinarily low, we might charge up to the max level. If the available time for the charge process is too little, it is possible that the min target cannot be reached.

This is a setting in your car, which typically is set to 100% or close to that. The car will not charge above this limit to avoid negative effects for the battery.

If you press on “Charge to max now” your car will ignore our smart-charging algorithm and charge as fast as possible to reach the max charge target level that you have set in the app. When the charging is stopped, for example when you have reached the max target, the app will go back to perform smart charging again.

There is a short delay between plugging in the car and the system registering that event in our app; therefore the charging stop could be delayed by a few seconds or a minute. The fact that the EV stops charging after it is plugged in, is explained in the question below.

This could have a few different reasons. First of all it might be that the current electricity prices are too high and therefore the charging process does not start right away. Secondly, your current battery level might be above your minimum target charge level, in which case we only charge when electricity prices are extraordinarily low.

This could have a few different reasons. First of all it might be that you try to charge outside of your home location. Secondly, the time to charge to the minimum target charging level might be so short that our app is “forced” to charge as fast as possible, thereby disregarding the current prices. Lastly, some EV models force charging to the maximum level (despite our app sending a stop command), typically when they are already close to the maximum level. If your EV is affected by this, please reach out to us via email and we will assist you (info(at)peakenergy.se).
