What batteries do you have ? I have a solis system and found discharge for batteries erratic and some times remaining with a charge so not acting surplus from solar gain I have turned battery charge of now during hopeful longe spells of Sun

Yes I got it as well its almost like winning the lottery so unexpected

Most of the problems I have experienced have been due to my having a 3 phase system Solar systems inverters and the apps do not seem to like 3 phase. The reference "Few people use all the power " During the day a lot of homes will not use all the solar produced surplus is stored in the battery...

Hi It took me several hours to do the figures and do not have them to hand just work out what you think you will use charging your car overnight and your battery at 10 p then what you use during the day but try to equate what you get from solar during day Few people use all the power generated...

Yep you are correct I do not plug my Stang in during the day although I have not had problems with Ford pass

Yes I was aware you were referring to EV probably my grammar was confusing! I did recommend Octopus Intelligent although you may have missed that. I did the figures comparing what I would use charging the car against what I would use in the day and Intelligent came out cheaper. Particularly if...

Depending on cost for solar, I would love to have solar installed and have something around a 10kW battery (I'm looking at SolarEdge for inverter & battery but trying to get the cost down from a few companies I am currently in touch with). HI A traitor in the camp Tesla ****!!!!!! ? However in...

More anomalies The Ford pass app is alternating between “Charged when plugged in” and “use preferred” One day it will work fine using the preferred charge then by itself it will revert to Charge when plugged in Another problem is for some reason it is pausing around 04.30 at 77% There are 4...

Thanks! friends I told were amazed that PAAK was not available due to Insurance a direct question ion to Ford I think Happy New Year to all

Plugged in last night at 10.30 car starting charging despite pod point set to not charge until 00.30 also car at same setting Checked home monitor and surprised and delighted to see the rate being charged according to monitor was 10p turned everything on that could not be set to a timer...

Hi I was having issues with monitor not updating to new Tariff, called octopus yesterday waited about 5 minutes and got an answer monitor is now correct This article is quite useful and this lady used Twitter to get answers from Octopus I do not use twitter at 75 I am hanging on to technology...

Definitely you are best to stick as you are already with Octopus you can then switch to Intelligent in May perhaps glitches fixed by then

Hi Are you saying to disable app ? Does that mean that guests plugging in will get same deal ?

Yes that was another couple of hours waisted discovering how to stop being limited to 80MPH

OUCH !! wish I had not waited until you guys across the pond had thawed out and posted earlier, just waisted a day trying to sort that out. Very considerate of our rule makers to make it easier for esteemed car thief to be able to find a hidden fob rather than crack an 8 digit code

Had Car 15 months and today decided to try out keyless entry using phone. Car starts remotely but when pressing start button got message "cannot detect key". Did some searches and thought it may be that phone needs setting up as key. Configured "My key" first which had not been done then I...

"I'm curious how the above works with the car, is it through the Octopus app side?" Sorry missed that. Yes it does work through Octopus App in fact I do not think you can get the intelligent tariff unless it is through the APP and having an E V, but once you have it the tariff applies to...

I think if you are getting 7.5 p for those 4 hours stick with it. In my home I changed from Shell to Octopus Go 3 months ago tariff was 12 p per KW for 4 hours. I have another property with EDF 7 hours at 11p off peak and no need to use App and no complications, tried to get them to take on...

Resolved the not charging issue this was because it was outside the schedule set on the Pod Point Charger. Changed schedule and car now charging BUT at peak rate as reported by like Wonky Donkey. So it would appear it is better to schedule the Pod Point to charge between 23.30 and 05.30 so as...

Switched to Octopus intelligent which became active yesterday, not charged car yet as car charged at work. This morning wanted to see if using remote charge drew from mains or battery by observing increase if any on smart meter I have battery back up for Solar which stores 7KW of cheap...
