EV Smart Charge
Points Regulations
How to opt out of the peak charging hours
To opt out, there are two ways to do this. The first way is to plug into the unit with a laptop
and change setting 22 + 47 to 0. This will disable the pause in charging in peak hours. The
second way is once the unit is available on the app, go into the settings, into EV smart
regulations and select the slider to the left.

• Privacy - Charge points are now required to meet certain privacy and security standards. In
terms of privacy, chargers ensure all data sent to and from the station is encrypted and
protected to safeguard user privacy and mitigate the risk from cyber attacks. The regulations
also require users to be able to easily control what data they share and provide ways of
deleting any personal data that has been collected. By default, this information will only be
retained for 12 months.
• Security - New regulations require an added level of security. The regulations require that a
charger must be 'designed, manufactured and configured to provide appropriate protection
against the risk of harm to, or disruption of, the electricity system and the relevant charge
point.' In other words, chargers will need to ensure they are created in a way that safeguards
the user’s safety, prevents damages to the charger, and guarantees the charger won’t disrupt
the electrical grid, for example, by overloading it.
These regulations are mandatory and will come straight out the box with the settings
included. As per regulations, in certain circumstances, these regulations are not desirable
and must give the end user the option to opt out at any point - as well as to opt back in.
