Activating A Charging Mode

To select and activate a charging mode, whether it's a quick, one-time charging session or an automatic recurring smart charge, tap the Start button.

One-time vs Automatic Charging

Now, you can choose between setting up a one-time charging session or automatic charging, where the charging schedule is created automatically the next time your EV is plugged in. The app saves your settings and preferred charging mode.

Charging Strategies

Choose one of the following charging strategies:

Charge Now: Starts charging immediately, regardless of conditions or price.
- Linking your EV is not required.
Schedule (NEW! ⚡️): Manually select the time slots during which you want charging to occur. You define the schedule, and the VOOL charger will charge only during these specified time slots.
- Linking your EV is not required.
Price-Based: Automatically charge when electricity prices fall below your set threshold. The app tracks the market and schedules charging to save you money.
- Linking your EV is not required.
Cheapest Hours: Set the duration of your desired smart charging session, and VOOL will select the optimal time slots for charging.
- No EV linking required—the program just finds the cheapest hours for charging.
Solar (Beta): Charge your EV using solar power. Set a minimum production rate, and once your solar panels generate enough energy, charging starts automatically. It’s eco-friendly and cost-effective!
- Linking your EV is not required.
Full Battery With Cheapest Price (Beta): Currently is disabled and coming back very soon!

Do I need to connect my EV to the app?

No! You do not need to link the car to app! Right now linking is disabled because its getting reworked!

Schedule

Manually select the time slots during which you want charging to occur. You define the schedule, and the VOOL charger will charge only during these specified time slots.

Define your desired time slots using the time picker.
You can set up as many time slots as you need—either a single slot or multiple slots.
When the automatic schedule program is active, charging will automatically occur daily during the time slots you've defined here.
Currently, it's not possible to specify different schedules for particular days or weekends. The same schedule will apply to all days.
You can always edit your schedule by removing existing time slots or adding new ones.

Solar Charging Strategy

Right now solar based charging is being reworked and will soon be back on vool app! Plan is to do the solar charging thru LMC, look for news coming soon!

Price-Based Strategy

Avoid peak pricing: Easily set a maximum kWh price you're willing to pay. VOOL will automatically pause charging when electricity rates exceed your limit, ensuring you only charge when prices are favorable.

Charging schedule preview: Once activated, your charging schedule preview will be displayed in orange with a gradient.

It's a simple strategy that does not require linking your EV into VOOL platform.

When you activate the smart charging strategy, you have the freedom to leave your EV plugged in for extended periods. VOOL's intelligent system will continuously monitor market electricity prices and adjust the charging schedule accordingly. As soon as prices drop below your specified maximum kWh price, VOOL will automatically initiate charging.

Cheapest Hours

Simply specify the duration of your smart charging session, and VOOL will select the cheapest time slots for charging. No EV linking is required for this program. Just set the end time and session length, and VOOL will charge during the most affordable hours.

We recommend this program for most users who need a bit of energy each night but don’t necessarily require a full battery by morning. Activate the program in ‘Automatic’ mode, and VOOL will automatically charge your EV by your desired ready-by time in the most cost-effective way. No more manually calculating prices before setting up smart charging.
