CKW Smart Charging is a free iPhone app developed by CKW Fiber Services AG, falling under the Travel & Navigation category. The app aims to optimize your charging behavior, ensuring your car charges when it's most convenient for you without straining the Swiss power grid.

With CKW Smart Charging, users can:

• Charge using more renewable energy sources.
• Avoid charging during times when Switzerland needs to import nuclear or coal-based electricity.
• Stabilize grid fluctuations.
• Take advantage of cost-effective charging hours based on varying electricity rates throughout the day.

To get started, simply download the app, connect your car, and you're good to go. No additional hardware is required for optimizing your charging sessions. The app is compatible with select models from Audi, Volkswagen, Seat, Skoda, Renault, Jaguar, and Tesla.

By setting personalized charging preferences via the app, users can ensure their vehicle is fully charged when needed while optimizing the charging process to save money and support renewable energy usage. Users can also earn money by helping reduce energy imports and balancing the power grid.

Additionally, if you have varying electricity rates during different times of the day, the app can further optimize your charging schedule to prioritize lower tariff periods, providing insights into cost savings after each charging session.
