How do Sync Energy chargers benefit the environment?
Our chargers use Smart technology to help reduce your environmental footprint by allowing avoidance of peak charging hours. Peak time charging typically relies on dirty fossil fuelled (coal and gas) power.
Smart scheduling allows your EV to charge off-peak using energy from the Grid generated using renewable sources, such as solar, wind or water.
