Zusammenfassung:An electronic device and method for management of energy is disclosed. The electronic device receives charging information associated with a first charging source and a second charging source. The charging information indicates a charging cost and a carbon footprint of the first charging source and the second charging source. The electronic device determines a change in the charging cost and the carbon footprint between the first charging source and the second charging source, and generates visual insights based on the determined change in the charging cost and the corresponding carbon footprint over a predefined time period. The visual insights indicate a cost-saving amount of the charging cost and a carbon-saving amount of the corresponding carbon footprint, for at least one of: the first charging source and the second charging source. The electronic device outputs a notification based on the generated visual insights, the charging cost, and the corresponding carbon footprint.
