Smart charging that reduces costs automatically
Schedule every charging session based on electricity prices, grid signals, and driver needs. Your network optimises for cost and carbon without manual intervention.
Optimise for what matters to your customers
Price optimisation
Schedule charging during the cheapest electricity windows. Sessions shift to off-peak rates automatically, reducing cost per kilowatt-hour across your network.
Carbon reduction
Align charging with low-emission grid windows. Track carbon saved per session using real-time intensity data from Electricity Maps.
Renewable energy
Maximise charging during high renewable availability. Prove sustainability commitments with measured renewable percentage per session.
Four steps from configuration to cost savings
Configure once
Set priorities per charge point or fleet segment. Define cost targets, carbon goals, or renewable preferences. Rules apply automatically to every session.
System schedules in real-time
Monta pulls spot electricity prices and grid carbon data every 15 minutes. The optimiser calculates the cheapest or greenest windows before each driver's departure time.
Sessions charge at optimal times
Charging starts during off-peak pricing or high renewable availability. Drivers get their target charge by departure without paying peak rates.
Report savings across the portfolio
Track electricity spend per charge point, per site, or network-wide. Quantify carbon reduction with session-level emissions data.
Smart charging data flows into your tools
API-first architecture means optimisation data integrates with billing systems, fleet management platforms, and BI dashboards. Pull session-level cost and carbon metrics into the workflows you already use. No data lock-in, no vendor dependency.

Which charge points support smart charging?
Smart charging works with any OCPP-compliant charge point that supports charging profiles. Monta supports 700+ hardware models from major manufacturers.
How does the optimiser handle spot electricity pricing?
The system pulls spot prices every 15 minutes from most European markets. The optimiser schedules sessions during the cheapest windows before each departure deadline.
Can drivers override smart charging schedules?
Yes. Drivers can switch to instant charging if they need their vehicle immediately. Operators control whether smart charging is optional or required per charge point.
How is carbon data calculated?
Carbon intensity comes from Electricity Maps, which provides real-time emissions per kilowatt-hour from the grid. Savings are calculated by comparing optimised charging against immediate charging baselines.
