If you have a compatible EV or Charger, Charge HQ can control optimise charging of your electric vehicle based on:

• Energy grid conditions such as level of renewable energy, wholesale price
• Flexible charging schedules you define in the app

If you also have a compatible Solar Inverter, Battery or Energy monitor, Charge HQ can also optimise charging based on:

• Your excess rooftop solar energy production

Compatible EVs and Chargers

To use Charge HQ, you must have a supported EV OR a supported smart charger.
