How departure time works in the Chargenode app and why it makes a difference

Charging the electric car should be simple, smart and efficient. That's why we at ChargeNode have developed a feature that makes a big difference both for you as a user and for the entire charging system: Departure time. But what does it really mean, and why is it so important?

What is the departure time?

Departure time is the time you enter in the Chargenode app for when you plan to leave the charging point. The function allows our system to optimize charging based on:

• Your planned departure — so that the car has the right amount of energy when you need it.
• Available power in the network — to avoid unnecessary peaks and reduce the load.
• Needs of other users — so that more people can charge smartly and fairly.

Why is departure time important?

More efficient charging By specifying departure time, we can prioritize charging so that you get enough energy before you leave, without overloading the system.

Sustainable energy use The feature allows the charge to be spread out over time, reducing the risk of high power peaks and contributing to a more sustainable power grid.

Better user experience You don't have to worry about whether the car has time to charge — the app plans for you.

How to set departure time in the app

1. Open the ChargeNode app and select your charging session.
2. Specify the time you plan to leave the charging point.
3. Confirm — done! The system optimizes charging automatically.

Tips for best results

• Set a realistic departure time to get optimal charging.
• Update the time if your plans change — the app adjusts instantly.

Summary

Departure time is a simple but powerful feature that makes charging smarter, more sustainable and safer for you as an electric car driver. By using it, you help not only yourself, but also the entire charging network and the environment.
