If your home charge point is funded in any part by the government then it must conform to ‘Smart’ technology guidelines. This has been the case since July 2019 when the government published the Road to Zero Strategy. Smart charging minimises the cost of charging from the grid and also encourages off-peak charging, further driving down costs.
One of the key definitions of a ‘Smart’ EV charger is that it can respond to, and interpret signals from a 3rd party, meaning that you will be able to control it remotely yourself.
