What is EcoCharging and how does it work?

EcoCharging is an innovative V2C Cloud functionality designed to charge your electric car automatically during the cheapest daylight hours, maximizing energy savings and reducing consumption costs.

EcoCharging adjusts to your priorities (desired end time and charging percentage) and your vehicle’s characteristics to manage charging efficiently, pausing and resuming according to the most convenient hourly rates.

Artificial intelligence (AI) adapted to your charging habits
EcoCharging uses advanced artificial intelligence (AI) that not only optimizes charging based on the most economical times, but also adapts to your daily habits and needs. Our system learns from your charging history and usage patterns to make sure your vehicle is ready when you need it.

EcoCharging is available exclusively for Trydan and Trydan Pro models. To use this advanced functionality, charger firmware version 2.2.5 or higher is required, as well as V2C Cloud app version 2.2.7 or later.

Preliminary step: select the energy tariff

To get the most out of EcoCharging, it is essential to have a market energy tariff that allows you to take advantage of variations in electricity prices.

Make sure you select your market tariff(PVPC 2.0 TD, OMIE or indexed) in the V2C Cloud mobile app. In this way, EcoCharging will be able to manage the charging of your vehicle at the most economical hours, optimizing both cost and energy efficiency in each charging session.

EcoCharging start-up

For a correct start-up of EcoCharging and to ensure its optimal operation, it is necessary to add your geographic location and the information of your electric vehicle. In this way, EcoCharging will be able to know, among other relevant data, the battery capacity.

If you are using EcoCharging for the first time, follow the steps in the images.

In case you want to modify the geographical area or the information about the electric vehicle once it has been saved, you must access the “Electric Vehicle” section located in “User Data”.

EcoCharging takes care of selecting the most economical continuous stretch. In this way, it determines the best time to start charging without interruption.

This option is ideal if you prefer a loading process without pauses.

EcoCharging schedules charging in several sessions, pausing and resuming if necessary to take advantage of the most optimal saving conditions.

This option is ideal if you want to maximize savings, as the system automatically adjusts the tranches to achieve the lowest possible price.

EcoCharging will always take advantage of the most economical hours, regardless of the charging option selected.

Indicates the time of end of charge and/or percentage of charge (optional)

The end of charge time and charge percentage settings are additional options that you can adjust according to your needs. To get the most out of EcoCharging, we recommend that you avoid excessive restrictions. By maintaining more flexibility in these settings, you will allow our AI to take full advantage of the most economical schedule.

End of load time
Percentage of load

Indicate the exact time you want your vehicle to be fully charged and ready for use.

It is especially useful if you need the vehicle to be charged at a specific time. By setting this end time, EcoCharging will adjust to the most economical time without exceeding the indicated time.

Specify the percentage of charge you want to add to the current battery status.

The percentage indicated will be added to the load level that the vehicle already has at that moment.

VERY IMPORTANT: When you do not set an end of charge time or a specific percentage of charge, EcoCharging works in its most advanced mode, allowing our AI to manage the charging taking into account your daily habits and needs.

For example, if you usually start your charging at 20.00h and disconnect the charger at 07.00h, EcoCharging will detect that routine and charge the vehicle according to your needs, even if the cheapest part is the next day at a different time.
