Different Automatic Charging Modes 

“A Guide to KotiCharge’s Automatic Charging Modes and Scheduling System”

KotiCharge offers flexible charging modes to automate charging without the need to use the mobile app. These modes help improve users’ experiences based on their preferences. 

Here’s a detailed explanation of the four charging modes: 

• Manual (you can find the full blog here) 

In this mode, the user has full control over when charging begins and ends. It’s ideal for those who prefer a hands-on approach, allowing them to flexibly schedule  and monitor the charging manually every time.

• Instant start (you can find the full blog here)

With Instant Start, charging begins immediately when the EV is plugged in. It’s the easiest and most convenient way to charge your EV without opening the app. This mode is perfect for users who need their car charged right away and don’t want to wait for a scheduled time. 

• Auto-schedule (you can find the full blog here)

Our automatic scheduling system makes charging scheduling effortless and time-saving, without the need to open the app or use an RFID tag. Once you plug in your charger, the system analyzes your charging history, determines the optimal duration, and selects the most cost-effective charging time based on electricity rates. You’ll receive notifications when your schedule is set and when charging starts, ensuring your EV is charged efficiently and economically, all while you stay focused on your day or enjoy a good night’s sleep.

• From midnight (you can find the full blog here)

The From Midnight is similar to the auto-schedule mode with the main difference that charging will automatically begin at 12:00 AM which is often when electricity rates are at their lowest, and continue until the car is fully charged. 

This option is designed for users who want to avoid power payment cost (tehomaksu), as it is not applicable during the night. Moreover, users can take advantage of cheaper off-peak energy rates without having to manually initiate charging in the middle of the night.
