Savings tips for a household with an electric vehicle

Profile: family with EV and dynamic prices

Do you have an electric car at home? Then your charging behaviour is often the biggest lever for savings. Leafy Energy uses your profile to focus tips exactly there.

1. Schedule charging in cheap hours

• Use the cheapest hours widget in Leafy Energy to pick your charging window.
• Set a charging schedule, for example between 00:00 and 06:00, except when prices are extremely high.

2. Charge little and often instead of one big session

• With dynamic tariffs, several small, cheap sessions can be better than a single, arbitrary session.
• Leafy Energy can notify you when many “green hours” show up unexpectedly.

3. Avoid cooking + charging during expensive peaks

• Your profile knows you often cook and charge in the evening.
• A typical tip: “shift charging to later at night to avoid combined peaks”.

In demos, use a fictional EV family profile to show how simple profile-based changes show up in both graphs and the energy bill.
