United StatesUSE UP TO 70% LOWER-CARBON ENERGY FROM THE GRID
GridShift syncs your EV’s charging with renewable generation on the California grid. What’s more, between November and May each year, GridShift will alert you to plug in and charge on days with particularly abundant renewable generation, and reward you for your cleaner charging with credit back on your energy bill.
Automatically save on your electricity bills when you charge your EV with the GridShift app. Customers on an E-TOUC rate could save up to $100 per year; greater savings may be available on other time-of-use rates.
SET IT AND FORGET IT
Simply plug in your car at home and tell the app what time you need it charged by. GridShift takes care of the rest, choosing the cheapest and cleanest hours to charge your vehicle.

This app is terrible. Man, I haven't seen something this half-baked in a long time. Initial setup is .. seriously crazy. I select my vehicle, then get redirected to another vehicle select page that's slightly different (complete with broken image placeholders). I then grant it permission to use my Tesla credentials and get an "oh oh!" Page, complete with a continue button that doesn't do anything. This feels like a prototype of an app, not a finished product.
This can be a great app with some improvements. But in the current state I had to uninstall it. You need to make it easy for us to override it for long drives. It's not good that it overrides Tesla app charging settings and stops charging without giving any warnings.
Not functional
Aborts when viewing history
Cannot finish the setup. Stuck at the SVCE account verification. I received the confirmation email, but cannot continue.
Cannot complete the PGE account authorization step in the app, even though the authorization was successful on the PGE side.
App crashes from time to time, requiring a need for restart. Strangely, the smart charging feature which is supposed to save you money doesn't work in my case. It actually starts charging in my case during peak hours. This is even with the "Only charge off-peak" option with +1¢ option selected. Kind of useless for now and I'm better off with my vehicle's native charge scheduling options.
