Smart EV charging that saves money and earns rewards
About
ev.energy is a free app that connects to your EV or home charger and automatically schedules charging when electricity is cheapest and greenest, based on your tariff. Users earn reward points per smart charge and, in California, can earn utility incentives of up to $290 a year through PG&E and SCE programs per the company's own figures. A paid Solar tier ($7.50/month or $75/year) adds solar-only charging modes with a savings guarantee. Savings claims are the company's estimates and vary by tariff and driving habits.
