Set Your Rate Limit — VoltEdge Handles the Rest
Electricity prices change all day long. VoltEdge tracks the live rate and charges only when it’s actually cheap — automatically.
How Connection Works
Deep-dive into the secure protocols VoltEdge uses to pilot your charging schedule.
1. User Authorization
User initiates the connection from VoltEdge, requesting secure account linking.
2. Authenticate at Tesla

3. Access Token Handshake
Upon successful sign-in, Tesla passes a secure, restricted Authentication Token back to VoltEdge.
4. Account Access Granted
VoltEdge safely accesses authorized account details and device listings to prepare fleet management.

How VoltEdge Cuts Your Charging Costs
VoltEdge regularly evaluates live electricity pricing, current state-of-charge (SoC), car location and car plugged-in state before issuing automated Tesla commands.
Charge when prices are low
VoltEdge checks the live electricity rate against your limit and battery rule, then starts charging only when both are in range.
Battery-aware price limits
Lower battery levels allow a higher acceptable price, while higher levels tighten the limit to protect cost and timing.
Always re-check the price
If price spikes above your threshold, charging pauses. When rates recover, charging resumes automatically until your target battery is reached.
