Owners of Renault electric cars can use the mobile application Smart Charge mobilizationwhich makes it possible to optimize the costs of recharging the car at home thanks to intelligent programming of recharging, which takes place during off-peak hours and now when the demand for electricity is the lowest:
“Since the launch of the 100% electric Mégane E-Tech, more and more customers are using the Mobilize Smart Charge app to reduce their electricity bills. The integration of EcoWatt into the app allows our customers to charge their car responsibly, guaranteeing them the most attractive prices and the autonomy they need.”said Corinne Frasson, director of energy services at Mobilize.
Mobilize Smart Charge: built-in EcoWatt signal
For this, the Mobilize Smart Charge app is now enriched EcoWatt signal, which makes it possible to detect moments of high voltage in the electrical network, and therefore to avoid possible shortages of electricity by reducing its most energy-intensive consumption. EcoWatt’s outage risk forecasts are provided on D-3 and allow peak consumption to be identified at three levels: green, orange and red.
By integrating this information into its algorithm, Mobilize now makes this possible modulate or offset recharge electric vehicle, and thus reduce the household’s electricity consumption at the appropriate time to unload the grid, while guaranteeing sufficient autonomy to continue traveling in its electric vehicle.

Mobilize Smart Charge: How does it work?
In the case of green EcoWatt signal, Mobilize Smart Charge continues charging by optimizing consumption according to off-peak load periods. If The EcoWatt signal turns orange, RTE calls for eco-gestures: Mobilize Smart Charge continues to optimize charging times, but prioritizes charging when demand is lowest. If the user parameters (specified departure time, minimum autonomy and desired charge level) allow it, the program avoids recharging during orange periods.
In the case of red EcoWatt signal, the power grid is very stressed: Mobilize Smart Charge informs the user to delay charging during “green” periods or reduce it to a minimum to limit its impact on the grid during high voltage. The app continues to optimize charging by avoiding charging during red lights if possible.
Mobilize Smart Charge: Helps prevent cuts
Taking into account the EcoWatt signal, the Mobilize Smart Charge application allows you to limit the consumption of your electric vehicle during periods of high voltage in the local network, and thus contributes avoid power outages this winter
The Mobilize Smart Charge app is available for download in France, the Netherlands and Belgium for users Electric Renault Mégane E-Tech, Zoe E-Tech, Twingo E-Tech and Kangoo E-Techequipped with R-Link or EasyLink multimedia systems.
