ev.energy: Smart EV Car Charge 4+

Nice

Got my Model 3 connected up to this app after my buddy said it was helping him save a bunch of money per month charging. Pretty easy, I barely look at it but am saving about $15 / month on electricity and earning some rewards which is nice. Had a couple issues with the adding my power rate at first but their customer service was very good and helped me figure it out. Recommend this app!

Doesn’t work properly

I started using this app recently and facing a bunch of issues. The app doesn’t show me an option to charge only during the off-peak hours. I raised a ticket and also emailed support but everytime I get an email from a different person to try to resolve the issue and after 1-2 emails, that person disappears. I don’t see the point of this application when it starts charging my car as soon as I plug the charger in when I want to charge during off-peak hours only. It defeats the whole purpose of the app. I am hoping somebody can really look into this issue and help me resolve this. Otherwise, I will have to unenroll from the program offered by my utility company that wanted me to use this app to manage my EV charging schedule.

Nice app warning to users

Great app but my car would stop charging ever since I installed it. After spending time on tech support with Tesla they suspected it was my wall charger. Then I remember installing this app and I went into the app and noticed that smart charging was turned ON even though I had specifically declined that feature. After turning smart charge off my car is charging again. This app has permission to control charging using Tesla’s API. They should at least send you a notification whenever charging is starting or stopped. Would have saved me a couple hours troubleshooting with Tesla.
