How do I start smart charging?

To start with smart charging, follow these steps:

Linking your car:

1. Navigate to the 'Charging' screen in the NextEnergy app.
2. Press the button to add a device.
3. Select the brand, model, and version of your car.
4. Press 'Connect Car' and confirm the information.
5. Log in with your car manufacturer account.

Viewing charging sessions:

Once your car is linked, it will appear in the overview in the NextEnergy app. Press on your car to view your charging history. For a recent charging session, you'll see details such as:

• Start and end battery levels.
• Charging session costs.
• Savings achieved with smart charging.
• Charged kWh per hour.

Note: This screen only displays charging sessions done at home since linking your car. Sessions before linking or those done away from home will not be shown.

Activating smart charging:

After linking your car and/or charging station, smart charging will be automatically enabled. If you wish to disable and later re-enable it, follow these steps:

1. Press on your linked car in the 'Charging' screen of the NextEnergy app.
2. Enable smart charging in your car's overview.
3. Set a direct charging percentage (the level your car charges directly to, useful for unexpected needs).
4. Set a smart charging percentage (the level your car charges smartly to).

For instance, if you set it to 40-90%, your car will charge rapidly to 40% and then switch to smart charging until reaching 90%.
