Seasonal profiles: winter versus summer charging

Different strategies in winter and summer

In winter your range is lower and you use more energy for heating. In summer you often have more solar energy. Seasonal profiles help you adapt to this.

Winter profile

• Higher minimum SOC, for example 80% for commuting.
• More focus on comfort: better to charge earlier than too late.
• Optional pre-heating in the early morning.

Summer profile

• Lower minimum SOC, for example 60%.
• Extra focus on the cheapest and sunniest hours.
• Integration with home battery and solar to use surplus power.

In Leafy Energy you can let seasonal profiles switch automatically or activate them manually. In demos, a simple “Winter <> Summer” toggle can instantly show the difference in schedules.
