Cargue con más inteligencia. Ahorre más.

EV Flex Connect helps you charge your electric vehicle at home easily and more affordably. By shifting charging to times when energy demand is lower, you can reduce costs while supporting a more reliable energy grid for the San Diego region.

Charging is automatically scheduled through the Optiwatt platform based on your driving habits and preferences. Simply plug in at home and your vehicle will be charged when you need it.

Beneficios

Menores costes energéticos: La carga se programa para evitar las horas de mayor demanda energética, cuando los precios de la electricidad son más elevados.
Effortless charging: EV Flex Connect takes care of scheduling by automatically charging your car based on your preferences, so that all you have to do is plug in at home.
Refuerce la red: Charging your EV during times of lower demand helps reduce stress on the grid, making energy more reliable for everyone. Most EV drivers charge overnight. EV Flex Connect spreads charging across super off-peak windows so vehicles are not all charging at once.
Earn rewards: Receive incentives for enrolling and staying active in the program.

When you enroll, you will connect your EV to the Optiwatt app and set your charging preferences, including your target battery charge percentage and when you need your vehicle ready. Based on this information and Community Power electricity generation rates, the program creates a smart charging schedule that automatically shifts charging to lower-demand times when electricity costs are cheapest.

Your vehicle will be charged to the level you requested by the time you need it; simply plug in your vehicle at home and EV Flex Connect will take care of the rest.

You may participate if your charger is used exclusively by your household, such as a charger located in a private garage, driveway or assigned parking space.

You cannot participate if the charger is shared with other residents or the public, such as a common charger in a multi-unit building.

Yes, as long as Wi-Fi or cellular service is available where your EV charges. If reliable connectivity is unavailable, your EV will not receive the optimized charging signals needed to participate.

Telematics-enabled EVs that can be remotely controlled and monitored through the Optiwatt platform are eligible for EV Flex Connect. The list of eligible vehicles is updated regularly on the EV Flex Connect webpage.

Additional vehicles may be added in the future. Please check the program website for the latest information.

You may enroll multiple eligible EVs per household, as long as each vehicle meets program requirements.

Enrollment takes place in two steps:

  • Step 1: Create or log into your Optiwatt account
    • Download the Optiwatt mobile app or visit their website.
    • Connect your eligible EV to the platform.
    • Select San Diego Community Power as your provider.
    • Choose your electricity rate plan (you can find this on your electricity bill).
  • Step 2: Enroll in EV Flex Connect
    • Once your vehicle is connected, you will see the EV Flex Connect enrollment option in the Optiwatt app.
    • Complete the short enrollment process to start participating.
    • If you are already an Optiwatt user, you will log in, confirm your profile information is up to date and look for the EV Flex Connect enrollment prompt in the Home or Devices tab.
