A Smart Meter makes your electricity consumption more transparent and provides an important basis for using dynamic electricity tariffs and intelligent charging more effectively.
Through StromNow, you can apply for a Smart Meter directly with our partner metrify.
What is a Smart Meter?
A Smart Meter is an intelligent metering system that records your electricity consumption digitally and in greater time detail.
Unlike a traditional electricity meter, it provides much more precise information about when and how much electricity you use.
This becomes especially important when your electricity price changes throughout the day.
What are the benefits of a Smart Meter?
A Smart Meter offers several advantages:
more detailed insight into your electricity consumption
automatic digital recording of consumption data
better use of dynamic electricity tariffs
more precise allocation of consumption to different electricity price periods
a stronger basis for intelligent energy management
more transparency when charging your EV at home
A Smart Meter can be particularly useful for EV drivers because charging typically accounts for a significant amount of household electricity consumption.
Who is a Smart Meter particularly relevant for?
A Smart Meter is especially relevant if you:
regularly charge your electric vehicle at home
want to use a dynamic electricity tariff
want to make the most of Smart Charging
want a more detailed understanding of your electricity consumption
operate a wallbox
use other larger electricity consumers such as a heat pump or home battery
The more flexible your electricity consumption is, the more useful time-based electricity prices and detailed consumption data can become.
Smart Meter and dynamic electricity tariffs
A Smart Meter becomes particularly useful when combined with a dynamic electricity tariff.
Electricity prices can change throughout the day. With a Smart Meter, your actual electricity consumption can be assigned more precisely to the relevant time periods.
This allows you to shift your electricity use to lower-cost periods more effectively.
For EV charging, this could mean:
If electricity is particularly cheap during the night, Smart Charging can schedule your charging session within this lower-cost period.
Smart Meter and StromNow Smart Charging
StromNow connects different parts of your Home Charging setup:
your vehicle
