How does EV smart charging work?

Smart EV charging is a system in which an electric vehicle and a charger share a data connection, and the charger shares a data connection with a charging operator and an energy utility. When an electric vehicle is plugged in, the charger automatically transmits important data to the charging operator and energy utility, in order to optimise charging. Smart charging allows users to monitor, control and manage the charging process and energy usage remotely.

What are the advantages of signing up for a smart EV Plan?

There is a plethora of advantages when signing up for an EV plan. An EV plan, in addition to savings on fuel costs, can reduce your carbon footprint and contribute to a healthier environment, supporting Ireland’s acceleration to a greener, cleaner future, while also helping save you money. Signing up to Energia’s EV plan provide you with loads of benefits and helps save money.

Brian

The installation process for the EV charger was really straightforward. We just had to purchase the installation through the Energia site. We had the installation partner come out and do a site visit, completed the installation for us within four hours and we were able to charge our car.

Michael

When I crunched the numbers, Energia was the plan that worked out best for us. The EV Smart Drive plan gives us a four-hour window overnight — 2am to 6am — at a discounted rate. During that time, that gives me the opportunity to charge my car and to set my appliances.

Energia Sales Professional
Energia Sales Professional, Stephen Cunningham, called to our home just as we were leaving for an appointment, so unfortunately we were unable to afford him any time to complete a sign up to Energia, but I told him I was interested in changing. He kindly took the time to contact me the next day and explain all the offers to me, even though he did not get the "sale". I was sorry for this, as he was very helpful and I would like to offer him the proper credit for his patience and work to get me signed up. The offer works very well for me now that we have recently installed Solar PV and also have 2x EVs charging every other night.

Stephen from Energia was honestly amazing. Switching gas and electricity can feel confusing and stressful, but he made the whole experience completely straightforward and hassle-free. He was so friendly, kind, and professional, and nothing was too much trouble. He explained everything clearly, made sure I understood the process, and went above and beyond to help. You can tell he genuinely cares about doing a great job and looking after customers. Energia are lucky to have him — he’s an absolute credit to the company. Thank you, Stephen!
