Save on your energy bill
Once you connect your electric car or charge station to the tado° Smart Charging App, you can save in base of your Energy contract. You have to set your rates and hours in the tado° App and we will optimize your charging plan to charge as much as possible at the lowest tariffs. After each charging session, we will provide an estimate of how much you have saved on your energy bill.
