Jedlix B.V. (hereafter known as "Jedlix" or "we" or "our") is a European company that develops and operates a smart charging platform and a mobile application.
Jedlix cooperates with car manufacturers notably with Polestar Performance AB ('Polestar') and energy groups to allow you to charge your electric vehicle (EV) smartly and sustainably,and enable its sustainable integration into national or regional power grids.
These Jedlix smart charging Services Terms of Use provide you the terms and conditions applicable when you use the Smart Charging services ('Services ') through the Polestar Energy app which is a white label application operated by Jedlix B.V. ('Jedlix App').
Through our network of partners in the energy and electric mobility sectors, we provide the Services across a range of countries, allowing you to:
The availability of these Services depends on the partnerships formed in specific countries, a list of which can be viewed here: Link
Jedlix calculates an optimal charging plan for each EV based on user settings, employing a dynamic price curve based on the energy market and the current supply of renewable energy.
This allows you to charge your car when the pricing is more favourable, thereby optimizing the amount of renewable energy you use, and even allowing you to generate earnings based on a number of factors. These factors include the volume of energy and the number of hours you designate for your EV to reach its target battery state of charge. In this way, you can generate earnings simply by charging your EV overnight at your designated home charging location.
By creating an account, I acknowledge and agree that I have read and accept the Terms of Use. Jedlix will store and process your personal data according to the Privacy Policy.
In using and benefiting from our Services, you acknowledge that you have read the Terms of Use, outlined here, and that you agree to abide by them until you decide to stop using our Services. For details on the termination process, please see Section 7 (Termination) below.
You remain free to choose whether you want to use Jedlix' Services to:
By accepting these Terms of Use, you grant Jedlix the right to be the sole service provider of the Services provided via Jedlix App, with the authorization to access and manage the charging of your Polestar vehicle in accordance with the Terms of Use.
In so doing, you authorise Jedlix and Polestar to process your personal data required to deliver each of these Services, as further defined in our Privacy Policy.
Jedlix cannot provide you with the Services if you do not give your consent to collect the charging data from your Polestar vehicle and related services (Polestar ID).
To benefit from Jedlix' Services, you must successfully connect your Polestar vehicle and your compatible charger to the Polestar Energy app, and indicate in the app the time-of-use/variable tariff of our electricity contract with an Energy Supplier partnered with Jedlix (see ).
You can then select from a range of simple settings to enable smart charging at a designated location for certain periods during the week. You can also choose to charge your EV directly as soon as you plug it into its designated charging location, thereby allowing you to gain some percentage of range quickly before the smart charging begins.
These are the limits of the end-user optimization settings for smart charging since our priority is to deliver the level of charge you have requested for your required departure time.
In order to use Jedlix App you need to:
By registering with your Polestar ID, an account will be created in your name with Jedlix. You will not able to use your previous Jedlix account to register into the Jedlix App.
Should you meet the pre-conditions to benefit from Jedlix' Services as mentioned in Section 3 above, if your home energy contract allows, you can save on your electricity bill by charging your EV at lower tariffs (based on the time of use). These tariffs typically exist during off-peak periods, depending on your contract with your Energy Supplier (see Partners) and on the off-peak times that you manually declare in the Jedlix App.
Your savings may also be affected by any partnerships we have with your Energy Supplier, based on the pricing periods and tariffs of your contract (assuming you authorize us to collect data about this from your Energy Supplier). That said, Jedlix cannot be held responsible for not charging your EV at the right time if the information logged manually or automatically is inaccurate or incorrect.
Furthermore, Jedlix' priority is to deliver the desired battery level at your stated departure time and to guarantee that your EV has the required driving range for your next journey. At times, therefore, depending on your home charge speed and your charging preferences, Jedlix may begin charging during peak hours to ensure it meets this priority.
The savings you make, as well as the total home charging costs, will be displayed in the Jedlix App in either:
depending on your country of use. Your savings are calculated as the difference between the price you would normally have paid with direct charging and the volume of off-peak or low tariff energy (in kWh) that Jedlix is able to access.
This calculation constitutes an estimate of your home charging cost savings and the proportion of EV charging costs on your energy bill. The figures are not guaranteed to correspond with the costs listed by your Energy Supplier.
Some of our Energy Suppliers (see Partners) may choose to display these smart charging savings on their bills or to integrate them into their customer reward programs. However, this is not guaranteed and is in no way connected to Jedlix' Services.
Jedlix provides an overview of the estimated share that EV charging makes up of your monthly electricity bill. This could be used as a receipt of your home charging costs.
To find out which Energy Suppliers Jedlix is partnering with in your country, please see the following list: (see Partners).
As applicable, Jedlix generates earnings from your Energy Supplier by charging your EV at times that are beneficial for your Energy Supplier, for example when the electricity purchasing costs for your Energy Supplier are low, or when your Energy Supplier needs to reduce an imbalance between its customers' electricity consumption and production.
For Jedlix to do this, you must connect your energy contract to the Jedlix App to authenticate your account.
These earnings with energy partners, expressed in € per kWh charged, or the equivalent in your local currency, are displayed provisionally on your Jedlix App after each smart charging session. They are then computed each month for a possible pay-out to your bank account (registered by IBAN in the Jedlix App).
There is a minimum transfer of €5 or the equivalent in other currencies. You will also receive a bank transfer confirmation by email from Jedlix within 10 days of your payment request.
In the absence of a partnership with your Energy Supplier, Jedlix is not liable for any payment of earnings to you.
Should you decide to switch to a Jedlix Energy Supplier partner (see here: Link) and benefit from specific electric mobility offers, you would start to generate earnings as soon as your Energy Supplier authenticates your new customer account.
By shitfing your charging session to a later moment than your direct charging, Jedlix might influence the network operator costs. Any additional costs are not compensated by Jedlix.
Jedlix is working with several Balancing Service Providers ("BSPs") in different countries to allow you to generate earnings from your national or regional grid operator. This works by charging your EV at times when the grid operator needs to reduce an imbalance caused by excess power consumption or production, thereby helping to maintain the stability and security of the grid.
BSPs, also known as 'aggregators', combine different electricity sources (large batteries, windmills, etc.) and make them available to the Transmission System Operator ("TSO") or Distribution System Operator ("DSO") responsible for maintaining the frequency of the high voltage energy grid in a specific country, province or state.
To maintain a constant balance between the total consumption and production levels at high voltage levels, TSOs and DSOs manage open and regulated markets of grid balancing services. They procure flexible power capacity from BSPs to offset temporary imbalances provoked by excess consumption or production compared with the national or regional volume that they had forecasted.
Jedlix and its BSP partners work together to offer the TSO or DSO flexibility when charging your EV, allowing you to earn benefits through smart charging, even when your Energy Supplier is not partnered with Jedlix. An up-to-date overview of Jedlix' BSP partners is available to view here: Link.
To enable this service, you need to:
Jedlix will then smart charge your EV based on the balancing needs of the grid, though still within the limits defined by your end-user settings. Your mobility needs remain our first priority.
The provisional earnings generated from balancing the grid are expressed in € per kWh (or In your local currency) charged smart and are displayed in your Jedlix App after each smart charging session. They are then computed each month for a possible pay-out to your bank account (registered by IBAN in the Jedlix App).
There is a minimum transfer of €X or the equivalent in other currencies. You will also receive a bank transfer confirmation receipt by email from Jedlix within 10 days of your payment request.
By accepting these terms, you grant Jedlix the exclusive right to be the sole service provider with the authorization to access and control the charging of the car that you make available in the Jedlix app for the purpose of this service.
You can pause Jedlix' Services at any time by disabling smart charging within the Jedlix App. This is useful, for example, if you are going on holiday. You can then start using the Services again at any time simply by enabling them in the Jedlix App.
You can also permanently terminate your use of Services at any time. This can done in the Jedlix App by:
Termination requires two (2) weeks' notice. Any earnings that have not been requested as pay-outs expire upon permanent termination of your use of Services.
