School drop-offs, work commutes, day trips or even just a leisurely drive \u2013 these are often things you might think of when it comes to your EV. And while these needs are scheduled activities, there\u2019s a way you could continue to benefit from scheduling when you\u2019re not using your car. Enter Smart Charging & scheduling, a new feature in the Origin app. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are several options available to help provide greater control over your energy consumption, including Power Saver and Origin Smart Schedule \u2013 a function that optimises your energy usage, which is available if you have solar panels<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Smart scheduling, available now, allows you to get more out of your EV the next time you get in. Powered by the Origin app<\/a>, the smart scheduling feature allows you to choose when you charge your EV<\/a>, allowing you the option to reduce demand on the electricity grid and maximise the value from your existing solar panels<\/a>. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are two default scheduling options for EV charging, both giving you the freedom to choose the method that best suits your needs. In addition, the Smart Schedule* preset option utilises historical <\/em>data to forecast and schedule your EV charging<\/a>. There\u2019s also an option for full schedule customisation that meets any of your individual requirements. <\/p>\n\n\n\nHow smart scheduling works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
