We want to make it easier and more affordable than ever to charge at home, helping more drivers go electric. Rightcharge was born out of a desire to make sure every new EV driver is aware of the benefits of smart charging and help them get set up with the best tariff and charge point for their needs. In fact, the majority of mainstream drivers switching to an electric car don’t know where to start! However, a lack of clear customer guidance means that smart charging isn’t widely understood and therefore, unsurprisingly, hasn’t been adopted by most EV drivers. Plus, a little known secret is that electricity consumed overnight is cleaner – it comes from sources that generate 25% less C02 compared to electricity consumed during the evening. This simple strategy can cut the average driver’s energy bills by over £400 per year. This gave me a great insight into the early days of the electric vehicle and energy sectors, and it quickly became obvious that ‘smart charging’ would be critical for both EV drivers and the UK as a country.Ī driver can ‘smart charge’ by switching to an electricity tariff with off-peak pricing overnight (very common in EV-branded tariffs from energy suppliers) and use a smart charge point to schedule their charge for those hours.
