How does Automatic Smart Charging work?

Once your EV is connected during the registration process and you've successfully enrolled in BGE's Smart Charge Management Program, your charging will be optimally scheduled each time you plug in at home.

evPulse considers several factors when determining your smart charging times, including the lowest-cost periods you can charge in order to meet your upcoming driving needs and the overall electric grid conditions. It then automatically sets your EV charge schedule.

You'll receive notifications about your upcoming schedules through your preferred method (web and/or SMS texts) and can skip your proposed charge schedule, if needed. You can choose to keep the schedule notifications or let them fade out after the first 5 notifications.
