Smart Charging Rule Types

Lifecycle rules: A flexible logic-based system that triggers specific actions for charging based on a set of conditions you define. 

Example: Automatically start charging vehicle if it's after 6:30 pm and the vehicle is plugged in, but only if the battery level is below 50%.

Power limit rules: Set a site-wide charging limit, automatically balancing power allocation to ensure the total power used never exceeds the limit, helping control demand charges and manage oversubscription.

Inoperative rule: This rule temporarily makes a charger unavailable, preventing it from starting a session, which can help reduce energy costs during peak times or limit access outside business hours.

Example: If all your workers leave by 8 PM and have chargers accessible to the public, you can use the Inoperative rule to restrict charging during off-hours.
