Energy prices (previously called Tariff Management) is a Smart Charging feature that covers two modes:
Dynamic price charging (in the app: Dynamic Energy Tariffs)
Scheduled Charging
The first is used with dynamic energy contracts, the second with contracts that have a high and a low tariff each day.
Using Energy prices
These modes are set per location, so you find them in the location settings, not in the charger settings. They need the Smart license on the chargers of the location.

Go to Locations, open the location and go to Energy > Energy prices.
Under Charging mode, choose the mode as explained below.
Dynamic price charging
You can set a price limit yourself or use Smart mode to set one automatically. In this mode, all chargers in the location only charge if the energy price is below the limit.
Scheduled Charging
If you have a high and a low tariff, use this to choose a timeframe during which the charger can charge, with the Start time and Stop time.
