CHARGING MADE BETTER
How does FreeCharge work?
Intelligent charging at your fingertips
FreeCharge automatically finds the greenest time to charge based on overall demand on the grid –and only starts charging during that time (usually overnight). Then it’ll work out how much you spent and credit 100% of it to your energy bill.
