Amber passes on the wholesale price, which changes over time. Amber for EVs makes sure you only charge during the cheap times.
EV plans with flat rates may not actually be as cheap as they look. They smooth out the highs and the lows, meaning you may never get the negative-price afternoons on offer from wholesale and you might be paying more for electricity at other times of the day to compensate. They also tend to schedule cheap windows overnight, when the grid is dirtiest (coal does its best work at 2am).

Wholesale prices can run as high as $19/kWh during high demand / low supply market events.
Amber for EVs is designed to automatically avoid charging during price spikes, and the app will notify you when they occur. The Amber app notifies you with a heads-up when prices are spiking. Finally, we also offer a Bill Guarantee which caps your downside compared to the published market offer in your area.
