tado° Smart Charging

Charge your electric car in a smart way and pay less for your electricity bill.

Why you should use tado° Smart Charging?
• Charge during off-peak hours and save money on your electricity bill
• Save the planet and charge your vehicle using sustainable energy sources
• No additional hardware required: tado° Smart Charging connects to most electric cars.* Just download the app and connect it via your car’s user account (e.g. Tesla, Volkswagen, BMW, Audi, and many more)


To save money during off-peak hours, you need a dynamic time-of-use tariff, like the aWATTar HOURLY tariff (available in Germany and Austria - find more information under www.awattar.com)

With tado° Smart Charging, you can specify your charging preferences, such as the time by which you want your electric car to be fully charged. The charging process is then automatically scheduled to maximize the amount of renewable energy used and minimize the cost of charging, all while ensuring your vehicle is ready to go when you need it! Now you can start saving on your energy bill while balancing the grid and charging with more sustainable energy!

* Electric vehicles from following brands can be connected directly: BMW, Audi, Jaguar, Land Rover, Mini, SEAT, Skoda, Tesla, Volkswagen. For some brands (e. G. Mercedes, Peugeot, Citroën, Porsche, Ford, CUPRA, Opel or Kia) a smart wallbox must also be installed and connected. Smart wallboxes from Zaptec, Wallbox or Easee are compatible with the app.
