During equivents, we temporarily pause your EV’s charging for 1 hr, when electricity is more carbon-intensive and expensive or when the grid is under significant pressure.

Please note: You will need to have a smart meter that is sending half-hourly readings connected to your equiwatt account before you can connect your EV charger to the app.

Every time your EV participates in an equivent, you will earn points according to the amount of peak energy and CO2 your EV has saved by pausing its charging.

As well as rewarding you for saving energy with your EV, equiwatt can also help you earn points for saving energy inside your house.
