🔔 New feature releasing soon! 🚀
After months of hard work and testing, we are almost there…
We are proud to soon introduce the AUTOPILOT feature, a revolutionary step forward in the use of the Scopt app.
Forget the hassle of entering your peak rate or charging on solar power; let Scopt do the magic.
All you need to do is enter the time you want to depart and how much you want to charge, then our Autopilot takes over completely.
It combines historical, forecasted, and real-time data to not only predict your charging profile but also adjust it in real time when necessary.
AND our customers will have the option to sign up for a dynamic energy contract.
This way, our Autopilot will calculate a perfect balance between capacity tariffs, solar energy, and electricity prices.
What can Scopt optimize?
Autopilot uses advanced algorithms to optimize three crucial variables: solar energy, capacity tariffs, and dynamic energy prices. But why is it so interesting to optimize these?
Solar Energy
In a world where local renewable energy production is becoming increasingly important, solar energy plays a crucial role in reducing our ecological footprint. Scopt’s Autopilot integrates seamlessly with your solar panels, identifying the best times to charge your vehicle with the available solar energy. In the past, you were reimbursed for injected solar energy at the same rate as your purchased electricity, but that’s no longer the case. Therefore, you need to consume or store as much energy as possible immediately. With Scopt’s optimization:
- You save by not feeding excess energy into the grid.
- You become less dependent on the electricity grid during peak hours.
- You ensure a greener charging session.
Capacity Tariff
With the implementation of the capacity tariff, it has become essential to spread energy consumption to save costs. This is especially important for people with a charging station. Autopilot analyzes your usual peak consumption and optimizes your EV’s charging sessions by constantly adjusting the power when large appliances are turned on.
Dynamic Energy Prices
The energy market is constantly changing, with prices that can fluctuate from hour to hour. Autopilot’s advanced algorithm monitors these fluctuations in real-time and schedules your charging sessions when prices are at their lowest. This means you can take advantage of the cheapest energy rates without constantly monitoring the market.
What does that look like in the app?
Below you can see two examples of Scopt in Action.
Select the desired mode
- Standard charging = Charging at high power
- Peak mode = Scopt will keep your peak consumption constant based on the entered settings.
- Solar mode = The car will only be charged when there is excess solar energy.
- Autopilot = This is where the real magic happens. All you need to do is enter your departure time, and Scopt will fully manage your session in the most cost-effective way based on historical, forecasted, and real-time data.
Scopt does the rest…
Here you see an example of our Autopilot mode, where Scopt optimizes the charging session by taking into account solar energy, peak consumption, and grid electricity prices. You don’t have to worry about anything, because Scopt does it for you!
