On Demand or Scheduled? ODEC Has a Charging Option for Every Kind of EV Driver

Graphic comparing ODEC's on-demand and scheduled EV charging options for electric vehicle owners.

Not every dead battery is an emergency. And not every EV driver has the same routine. That's why ODEC was designed with two distinct charging modes, because the way you need a charge today might be completely different from how you need one next Tuesday. Understanding your EV charging options can help you choose the most convenient way to keep your vehicle charged and ready.

Here's a breakdown of both options and how to know which one is right for you.

On Demand Charging: When You Need It Now. On-demand charging is exactly what it sounds like. You open the app, request a charge, and a technician is dispatched to your location. It's built for moments when your battery is lower than expected, you're too far from a station, or you simply don't have time to drive somewhere and wait.

Think of it as roadside assistance for your EV, but without the tow truck, without the wait, and without the bill for a service you didn't actually need.

On demand charging is available 24/7. Sessions scheduled before 7 AM or after 7 PM include a $25 after-hours fee, but the service is always there when you need it.

Scheduled Charging: Stay Ahead of the Week. If you'd rather not think about your battery at all, scheduled charging is your option. Pick a day, pick a time, pick a location, and your charge shows up. No errand. No driving out of your way. No, mentally adding "charge the car" to your already full to-do list.

Scheduled charging works especially well for EV owners who don't have reliable home charging, like apartment residents with limited or shared chargers, or anyone who just wants their car ready before the week begins.

Both Options. One App. Whether you're reacting to an unexpected situation or planning, ODEC handles it from the same app. Request now or schedule later, the experience is the same. Track your technician in real time, communicate directly in-app, and get back to your day.

Pricing starts at $69. No subscription required.
