How EV Flex Connect helps everyone's electric grid
The old way charging EVs creates new challenges. Today, most EV drivers use static charging schedules to charge their car during lower-cost hours. But when thousands of EV start charging at the exact same moment, it creates an energy spike that drives up costs for everyone and often requires the use of dirtier generation resources.
Time-Based Charge Schedules Create New Peaks
When thousands of EVs charge at the same time—like 9 p.m.—it creates a second energy spike that strains the grid and drives up costs.
EV Flex Connect helps smooth these peaks by shifting your charging slightly—without disrupting your schedule —protecting grid infrastructure and keeping energy more affordable for everyone.
With EV Flex Connect, you can let the app automate your charging, or just get helpful notifications to manage charging yourself. Either way, you’re improving your EV efficiency—for you and your neighbors.
EV Flex Connect is a smarter way to charge.
This program is a commitment to clean, affordable energy for all. EV Flex Connect helps you charge more efficiently while supporting a cleaner, more reliable grid—and earn rewards while you do it.

What does charging smarter mean?
Traditional EV schedulers only let you set fixed times, like right at 9 pm when rates drop. When tens of thousands of EVs start charging at the same time, it creates new peaks in demand, increasing our use of fossil fuel power plants, straining the grid, and potentially raising costs.
As your local electricity provider, San diego community power gives you access to real-time energy data most EV schedulers don’t—like when power is not only cheaper, but also cleaner and easier on the grid. That data flows directly into our charging scheduler, Optiwatt, so your charging adjusts automatically to find the optimal time. The result: more efficient charging without the hassle of checking rates or updating settings.
If you are in the Cities of San Diego, Chula Vista, Encinitas, Imperial Beach, La Mesa and National City, as well as the unincorporated communities of San Diego County, SDCP may be your energy provider.
San Diego Community Power is a not-for-profit public agency that provides cleaner energy to the San Diego region.
Optiwatt has partnered with San Diego Community Power to empower EV drivers like you to use more renewable energy and help lower your bills.
