Electric mobility is changing the way we travel, and the smart charger is one of the key elements of that shift.
But what actually makes it different from a conventional charger, and what are the real advantages for the user?
In this article, we explain the essentials and highlight the video where Enbiente CEO João Salgado presents this solution on the EletricaMente channel.
A partnership with energy: Enbiente x EletricaMente
Do you remember episode 6 of the Pensamento Renovável podcast?
During that conversation, Bruno Faro, from the EletricaMente project, invited our CEO to take part in a video about electric mobility.
Almost two years later, that moment became reality.
In the latest episode of the EletricaMente YouTube channel, João Salgado addresses essential topics about the future of electric mobility, demystifying common misconceptions and explaining in practical terms how smart chargers work.
What is a smart charger?
A smart charger is a device capable of automatically analysing each user's charging needs and adjusting charging power according to the energy available at that moment.
This helps prevent electrical overloads, improves efficiency and optimises energy consumption.
In practical terms, it:
- Balances vehicle charging with the remaining consumption of the installation;
- Prioritises lower-cost periods, when configured with a dual-rate tariff;
- Protects the electrical installation against consumption peaks;
- Enables real-time monitoring through an app.
