Honda SmartCharge Beta Program Helps Electric Vehicle Drivers Save Money and Reduce Environmental Footprint

Honda SmartCharge beta program allows electric vehicle customers to reduce the environmental footprint of charging their car while earning monetary rewards. With plans to make two-thirds of its global automobile sales from electrified vehicles by 2030, Honda is introducing a new Honda SmartChargeTM beta program that allows electric vehicle customers to reduce the environmental footprint of charging their car while earning monetary rewards. Honda is the first automaker to introduce a program of this kind, and will roll out the program to Honda Fit EV customers. Electric vehicle customers typically plug in and charge their vehicles when they arrive home after work, but this early evening charge time is often when demand on the grid is highest and when electricity is the most expensive. Honda SmartChargeTM permits Fit EV customers to charge when electricity demand is low and when the availability of renewable energy is high.
