Unlike a smart charging algorithm that optimizes your charging schedule based on day-ahead prices, NeoGrid leverages short-term price fluctuations on the intraday electricity market to create the most cost-effective charging plan for you.
In the app, we display the day-ahead prices — these are the electricity prices set one day in advance. However, NeoGrid also optimizes your charging in real time on the intraday market, where prices continuously change. Sometimes, this creates better opportunities to charge your battery at a lower cost (or even generate profits).
As a result, your actual charging schedule may sometimes differ from the plan based on day-ahead prices. Even if this might seem unusual at first glance, it pays off in the end. All deviations are transparently accounted for in your credits, so you benefit in the long run.
In short:
NeoGrid flexibly optimizes your charging to maximize your benefits — even when prices change on short notice compared to the plan from the day before.
