FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Answers about vehicle compatibility, home charger compatibility, and connecting both devices for StromNow Smart Charging.

How does StromNow save me money?

StromNow shifts your EV charging to the cheapest electricity hours of the day. Simply enter your departure time and target battery level in the app. StromNow calculates the optimal schedule and handles the rest.

Will my EV always be ready by my departure time?

Yes. StromNow optimizes charging so your car reaches your desired charge level right when you need to leave. If time is too short or your battery is critically low, StromNow automatically bypasses smart scheduling to prioritize charging your car on time.

What do I need to set in the app?

Just two things: your departure time and target battery level. You can also track your battery status, estimated charge times, and cost savings in real time.

How does StromNow connect to my wallbox or car?
