If you’re enrolled with automatic smart charging (SmartCharge Rewards), your vehicle’s charging will automatically be rescheduled to avoid charging during periods of high energy demand.
When Demand Response Events are a factor, WeaveGrid algorithms prioritize meeting the following goals in order:
- Avoid charging during Demand Response Events
- Get your car charged up by the time you need it
- Charge at the lowest-cost times
- Charge when energy generation is cheapest or electric grid stress is lowest
WeaveGrid will charge your EV to meet the settings in your WeaveGrid dashboard, as much as possible, while avoiding the Demand Response Event hours.
Remember, if you ever need to charge during a Demand Response Event, you can override the charge schedule generated by WeaveGrid directly on your charger or vehicle, or through their dedicated apps. You can also reply “CHARGE NOW” to 59972 to start charging immediately.
If you have ‘Avoid low battery levels’ enabled, your charging will start at the end of the Demand Response Event.
