It couldn’t be easier to use. Plug it in and it takes care of when to charge your car so it’s ready in the morning. I’m on a flat rate plan but at some point I will be able to get a hourly plan and the app will make sure that when the rates are low I’ll be charged. Also, I took a trip recently and I told the app I wanted to leave at 7:00 am with the battery charged to 95%. The app worked perfectly and I left on time. -- ChuckC60423, 2025-06-20 ### *---- "Does not do anything. In fact , it will charge your car at the highest rate." I decided to give Optiwatt a try because my Energy company is partnering with them. My energy company offers , peak rate and off peak rate. First time I used it, Optiwatt decided to charge my car at the highest peak rate time. I came home, plugged it in like I always do. My Tesla will not charge until the schedule I set, which is at off peak when it is the lowest. Once I signed up for Optiwatt, I did my normal driving to work, coming back home, plugged it in. This would not be a problem before I got Optiwatt. As my Tesla will not charge until the schedule I set , which is in off peak hours. Then I got a notification my car was done charge. Apparently Optiwatt decided to charge my Tesla immediately when I plugged it in, which was during peak hours. I don’t see the saving in this if Optiwatt takes over the charging schedule to charge at the peak rate. Although, I can see why my electric company would like it. Anyways, I’m Going to revoke access and just use the Tesla app to charge my car which have been flawless. -- 21coffee, 2025-04-17 ### *---- "TESLA virus, cost thousands" This app connects to your car turns on a number of features unbeknownst to the user and, in my case, factually cost me hundreds of dollars in energy fees. Response to developer response: yes the app did verifiably cost me hundreds of dollars in 2024. When deleted, the app does not remove the “tokens” allowing it to turn on your car for preconditioning. I had no idea that tokens were used by the app. It was not clearly stated that this app would leave virus-like tokens in place after the deletion. It took about a year, over 50 wasted hours of troubleshooting and 2 trips to the repair center to figure out what the app had done and remove the tokens permanently. So dear developer, take the feedback or don’t but the facts are the facts…. -- fendeman, 2025-02-26 ### *---- "Costs me more than on peak charging" I have two problems: I’ve had to wait for weeks to get enrolled in the rewards for off peak EV charging with no updates or timeline when I’ll get enrolled. The scheduled charging from the app will start and stop charging a few times overnight. This is less efficient than when I charge all at once. I end up using a few more kWh than I normally would. Even with the off peak reward this costs me more than if I didn’t use this app. -- sepherian, 2025-01-24 ### *---- "Will Drain your 12v Battery" I’ve had to jumpstart my car 5 times since installing this app three weeks ago. The last 3 times are on a new battery. Had no problems prior to installing the app. -- big shooter, 2025-01-23 ### ***** "Helpful" Good app , hasn’t crashed and very user friendly. Easily connect to utilities and car without issues. -- @teresacolorist, 2025-01-11 ### **--- "Wrong model compression for gas and wrong gas oricd" This app seems to fool EV owners on savings. It takes gas price $4.99 per gallon, those days are gone, gas is $2 lower in my area. Also it compares Tesla with luxury BMW model premium gas, Tesla is not a luxury car, it is expensive but not luxury. -- UB-1002, 2024-12-29 ### ***-- "Good features when they work" The App could be fantastic if it would be a bit more stable. It looses all the time the connection to my devices (have EV and smart thermostat connected) and then doesn’t recognize that I used them. Removing and adding them solved the issue, but it happens so often that I stopped using the App as it is too cumbersome. If everything works it is a 5 star, but since it only works 50% of the time for me I can only give 3 stars -- Alex/42, 2024-11-27 ### ***** "My favorite app" I use this app to track my Kia and Nest, and I love it. I would like to be able to connect more of my household. -- Cameltoehead, 2024-11-25 [View all Optiwatt reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Optiwatt Discovered Keywords -
