How do dynamic hourly rates work with a charging station?

If you charge smart, you charge your electric car when the dynamic hourly rates for electricity are low. These rates are often low during the middle of the day, because there's a lot of solar power available or the wind is blowing hard. You can plan smart charging manually. You can also set automatic charging and connect this to your dynamic hourly rates. Plan your charging profile in the Coolblue App.

Your electric car is one of the largest energy consumers in your house. Charging your car costs as much energy as 260 cycles with your washing machine. The electricity rates are sometimes up to 50% lower during the middle of the day. With dynamic hourly rates and smart charging, you can clearly save on your charging costs.

If you can't charge during the day, you can still benefit from dynamic hourly rates. The rates at night are more affordable than the fixed rates. For example, if you work from home 1 or 2 days per week and charge your car during the day. You can save up to € 260. Do you charge smart almost every day? You can save up to € 360 per year.
