Smart EV Chargers

Smart EV charging optimises the time to charge your electric vehicle based upon the amount of solar being generated at your home or business or the electricity tariff your property is connected to.

If you connect to an approved Smart EV Charging Provider (an electricity retailer providing Demand Aggregation services) in South Australia, you could potentially qualify for a cash rebate of up to $100 through the South Australian Government's REPS. By enabling your EV charger or EV to participate in demand response programs, your charger can adjust energy use during peak times, reducing strain on the grid and contributing to a more sustainable energy system.

What is a Demand Aggregator?

A Demand Response (DR) Aggregator is a company that manages electricity demand by using smart devices to adjust power usage on certain equipment. An Approved DR Aggregator is one that has been officially approved by the Minister or their delegate to provide these services.
