Frequently asked questions about the Fortum Smart Charging service
In simple terms, charging is shifted from hours with higher electricity prices to hours with lower prices.
The savings depend on several factors, the two most important being the price of electricity and the charging power. If you have a more powerful home charger, such as a 22 kW unit, you can shift a larger portion of the charging to cheaper hours thanks to the higher charging capacity.
When planning Smart Charging, we take into account when you want the car to be fully charged (a typical time is, for example, 08:00). You can also set the desired end time for charging in advance in the app.
You can find Fortum Smart Charging in the Fortum app.
