What's new
European day-ahead electricity markets now set prices in 15-minute intervals instead of hourly. Monta follows this, so electricity costs can be calculated per 15 minutes. Hourly stays the default.
- In Monta Charge, drivers can set home electricity cost at 15-minute intervals, and SmartCharge uses them to schedule charging
- Cost charts and price forecasts show 15-minute intervals
- In Hub, price groups that use spot prices can be set to 15-minute intervals, and the Partner API lets you set the interval too
Why it matters
When the market prices in 15 minutes, hourly costing is less accurate. Matching the interval keeps cost calculations in line with the market price.
Who it's for
Operators and drivers who use cost-based pricing or home reimbursement in most European countries, including the Nordics, Germany, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Spain, and Italy. Not available in the UK or Ireland.
