MCE Sync

Nice to get at least a little back from this absurd price in electricity.

This app has been great in helping me understand the carbon impacts of my charging and automatically charging during lower carbon times. The Tesla app works well for scheduling charging to start at a certain time, but doesn’t allow for additional carbon savings associated with charging, so MCE Sync has helped with that. As with all apps there are bugs here and there, but the customer support team has been helpful with those.

This app caused me nothing but trouble. 1- First they don’t update the rates when the rates went up resulting in wrong energy cost and missleading saving. 2- occasionally the app will charge your car during peak when using their so called “smart charge”! 3- when rates go up, they don’t update the price limit accordingly, and with no warning the app will stop charging your car once the rate went up above the prior price limit. You find out in the morning that your car wasn’t charged. Instead they should update the price limit or notify you to update. Poor design and poor engineering of what could have been otherwise a useful app.
