Free net gain

Covers rate & winter degradation.
+2.4 years of battery lifespan.
Auto-preheating = zero range loss at departure.
Free. Centralizes 4 apps into 1.

04 — For the Grid

Shaving the peak
without building a single dam.

Shifts charging (1am–5am) — auto off-peak.
Reduces peak without new infrastructure.
Billions in capex avoided.

Appendix — Daily Workflow

What Quéleco changes in
an EV owner\'s day.

Without Quéleco

6am — Departure

Battery 100% full for the day.

5pm — Return Home

With about 35% battery remaining after the workday.

5:05pm — The Reflex

The vehicle is plugged in immediately upon arrival.

6pm-10pm — Peak Hours

The EV charges during peak hours, when demand is highest and rates are elevated.

10pm — Charging Complete

Battery full, but at what cost to the grid and its premature wear?

Result: Fast charging + Peak hour = Degraded battery + High bill

Transformed by Quéleco

5pm — The user plugs in

The same simple and usual gesture upon returning home.

5pm-10pm — Quéleco waits

The solution intelligently identifies the peak period and shifts the charge.

10pm-6am — Slow & optimized charge

The vehicle charges during off-peak hours, preserving the battery and reducing costs.

6am — Battery full, ready!

The user leaves for their day with an optimized battery, with no extra effort.
