Setting Up Locations and Utility RatesUpdated 2 months ago

The NeoCharge App allows you to configure custom locations and utility rates for optimized charging schedules and accurate cost tracking. Here's how to set up and manage your charging locations and rates:

Location Setup

• Add multiple charging locations (home, work, etc.)
• No limit to the number of locations you can configure
• Smart Schedules are tied to specific locations
• Automatic location detection for proper schedule activation
• Public charging locations override scheduled restrictions

Utility Rate Configuration

• Select your provider after setting a location
  • Utility providers in the US will auto-populate after setting a charging location
• Choose your specific rate plan
• Verify Time-of-Use periods
• Confirm seasonal variations

Custom Rate Setup: The app supports detailed custom rate plans including:

• Seasonal rate differences (summer vs. winter)
• Daily rate variations (weekday vs. weekend)
• Time-of-Use periods (on-peak, mid-peak, off-peak)
• Precise rate entry up to 4 decimal places ($X.XXXX/kWh)

How It Works:

1. Vehicle location is checked when charging begins
2. If at a designated location, Smart Schedules are used if turned on
3. Charging times are optimized through the app
4. Cost calculations use actual rate data for accuracy
5. Public charging (and any other non-registered locations) automatically bypasses schedule restrictions

Benefits:

• Optimized charging times based on your rates
• Accurate cost tracking and forecasting
• Automatic schedule management
• Flexible location-based controls
• Seamless public charging integration
