Introduction to charging schedules and smart profiles

What is a charging schedule in Leafy Energy?

A charging schedule defines when your car is allowed to charge, how much freedom Leafy Energy has to move things around, and which goal must be reached (for example a certain state of charge before departure).

Building blocks of a schedule

• Time window: when is the car plugged in?
• Target: minimum or desired state of charge (SOC) at a given time.
• Profile: how strongly do you value price, comfort, and CO2?

Difference between profile and schedule

• The schedule is about timing and constraints.
• The profile describes behaviour: price-focused, comfort-focused, or eco-focused.

In the Leafy Energy app, schedules are shown as coloured blocks on a timeline and profiles as labels such as “Savings”, “Comfort”, or “Eco+”. In demos you can easily switch between profiles and immediately show their impact on the plan.
