After you have downloaded the app and created a Pluginvest account, you can start setting up your details.

Get started with Smart Charging insights:

  1. Connect your car: Because our solution is fully software-based, we make use of the connectivity of your car to gather charging data. To connect your car, make sure you use the same login credentials from your car manufacturer’s app.

  2. Enter your charging location: This is necessary to complete the next step!

  3. Select your energy contract information: Let us know your energy supplier, energy tariff type and the price per kWh as stated on your energy contract so we can calculate your EV’s charging costs.

Get started with managed Smart Charging sessions:

  1. Connect your car: Because our solution is fully software-based, we make use of the connectivity of your car to gather charging data and manage your charging sessions. To connect your car, make sure you use the same login credentials from your car manufacturer’s app.

  2. Enter your charging location: enter the address details of your personal charging location(s) so Pluginvest can know where we can smart charge!

  3. Connect your charging station: If your car does not support “managed smart charging” directly, you can connect your charging station to unlock this functionality!
