Charge on solar and
in cheap hours
The smart features run in the Plugchoice cloud and control your charger. Pick a mode in the app. How smart charging works
Connect your card, meter and smart home
Control your charger
from your phone
Start and stop from the sofa
See how much power your car draws and stop whenever you want. The charger responds within a few seconds.
Lock your charger
While it is locked, no session starts. Or let the charger start on its own as soon as you connect the car.
Add cards
Give the card a name and hold it against a charger at your address. From then on it works on every charger at that address.
Every session, with kWh
Start time, card, kWh and duration. With Plugchoice Plus, coming soon, also as PDF or CSV for the company car.
Invited
Share your charger with your household
Invite them with their own login. Each of them sees their own sessions.
Connect your charger
Scan the card from your installer
Your installer leaves a card with a QR code and your charger's password. Scan it with your phone and the app fills in the rest.
The app sets up your charger
The app finds your charger and, for some chargers, also fetches your earlier charging sessions. If your charger was already connected to another charging platform, the app can restore that connection next to Plugchoice.
Questions about the app
The app is free to use. Plugchoice Plus, coming soon, is an optional subscription per account from €0.99 per month, with a logbook per charger, insights per location and session export from the app. To charge on solar, in cheap hours and with load balancing, you need a Smart Charging license per socket. The prices are on the pricing page.
A Sparky by Chargee on the P1 port of your smart meter (in the Netherlands and Belgium), or a Flint by Chargee with an Eastron meter. If you bought the Sparky somewhere else, send its serial number through the chat in the app and we enable it for you first.
With Solar Only, charging starts once your solar panels have enough to spare: about 4.1 kW on three phases. With Smart Solar your car always charges a little, and faster as soon as there is solar to spare.
If your meter is offline, your charger charges at a low current until the meter is back. Check in the app whether your meter is connected and whether your main fuse is set correctly.
The app uses the day-ahead price per quarter hour, with taxes but without your supplier's markup.
Usually, yes. Plugchoice can pass the connection on to the platform your charger was already connected to, so your employer's billing can carry on. Your charger needs to point to Plugchoice for this. A company that receives that connection for its own services needs an agreement with us, and without one we may stop passing it on after notice. How the relay works
ERE is for chargers in the Netherlands. In the app, under ERE: choose a credit aggregator and give your consent. You need a charger with a MID meter and a grid connection in your own name. All about ERE
Yes, for chargers in the Netherlands: the sessions Plugchoice still holds for your charger this year, also from before you signed up.
