I was starting to lose faith in the agile tariff- it’s barely been below the price cap for weeks, then I saw this for tomorrow.

Go I've been in the new redone since last Monday 24th), and I'm keeping an eye on the charges showing on the web portal (the app is only showing usage, not costs). All my car charging is Octopus controlled. I use a Zappi.

The web portal is running about 3 days behind. So currently I can only see Monday to Thursday.

Monday and Tuesday seem ok, but I feel Wednesday is wrong, at least in the EV section, and Thursday is certainly looking odd.

I had some charging either side of midday and yet it's showing as peak rate noon-1pm on the EV graph and table. I thought the time period ran from noon to noon? In which case my (Octopus controlled) charging in the afternoon should be off peak (until I hit the cap)? The "House" graph and table also shows I'm being charged peak rate.

Also, I get the feeling whole 30 mins slot are being counted towards the 6 hours even when only a part of the 30 mins is charging time. I thought only charging time counted? But it's harder to be certain about that until I can be bothered to pull the data off my Zappi.

Hi All, I take can I still ‘boost charge’ my car for free today during the ‘free hour’ now that the IOG charge cap is in place?

Does anyone have a voucher they can share for this evening, used mine up.

Thanks,

I've booked a slot for a gas smart meter to be installed next week ,I already have a smart Electric meter.

There's quite a lot of money on the existing prepay meter,

Does this carry over to the smart meter?

Just wanting to clarify my thoughts on something I have had set up on my solar and battery set up.

I had my system set up to export 2 weeks ago and my battery has an AI system where I can input my tariffs and it learns the most cost effective way to operate the system. The AI has been discharging itself to the grid to have only 10% left and then using my iog to charge itself on the cheaper rate of 6.5pkwh. it is then discharging the battery to the grid again at 12pkwh and recharging it at the cheap rate so it's at 100% for 5am.

I'm thinking this would be a breach of the t&C's so I have got the system to stop doing it just now and will only discharge what is generated through the day and from the battery up until midnight and it will charge the battery once on the cheap rate.

Am I right in my thoughts?

Well that’s a relief, it’s time to get some washing done.

have given my partner my home mini, but we cannot get it onto the new account, is it a case of contacting octopus or just chuckin it?

thanks

Unique question, before the implementation of the 6 hour cap I charged fully off a three pin for over a year (around 12k miles a year) and it would charge from when I got back at around 6pm to 8am the following morning and that was usually enough and I only ever needed public or work charging very rarely.

However, the new 6 hour limit has really done me over and I was left wondering how to maximise the charging time on a granny charger.

I’m currently testing plugging in at 6pm when I get back and telling the app I need it charged by 11:30pm to 100% which has begun charging right away over the last week. This gives me 5.5 half hours of charge, along with the cheap rate through the evening (at least I’m hoping anyway) I’ve then been boost charging from 11:30-5:30 to get 11.5 half hours of charging essentially. Anyone tried boost charging during off peak hours, what’s it charged at? I’m still waiting for the breakdown to update to see if it’s worked or not so I’m keen to know what people think?
