Smart Charging Indicators

Last Update há 11 dias

Smart Charging Indicators in InControl™ help you easily see when charging rules are active or scheduled, so you always know how your chargers are behaving. These indicators give you clear visibility into your charging strategy, whether it's based on:

  • Utility time-of-use or demand charge schedules
  • Site grid constraints
  • Vehicle departure times or operational needs 

These views make it simple to confirm that your charging rules are working as intended. 

Note: Only enabled Smart Charging rules are displayed in banners and lists. Disabled rules will not appear.

Where You'll See Smart Charging Indicators

Smart Charging indicators appear across different pages in InControl, giving you insight into: 

  • Active Rules - shows which rules are currently controlling your chargers.
  • Scheduled Rules - lists rules that are set to begin at a later time. 
  • Rule Details - See rule type, name, and start/end times.
