Can I charge my visitors EV cars using my OVO Charge Anytime compatible charger?

Hi all,

I’ve just moved to OVO, and added Charge Anytime so I can charge my new EV at a sensible price 😁

I’ve had an Indra Smart Pro charger installed, specifically because it’s on the ‘approved’ list. 

When I set up Charge Anytime I initially picked my EV - a Cupra - because the Indra hadn’t been installed at that point. But once installed, I went back through the process of setting up Charge Anytime and picked the Indra instead.

My first Smart Charge - last night - went well. I set a time for the car to be charged in the Indra App, and it duly did the business 😁.

 The Indra seems to ‘know’ about Charge Anytime, and also about the Cupra, so everything seems to be joined up. Charge Anytime seems to ‘know’ about the Cupra too, but does not mention the Indra.

So finally to my question. What happens when I have a visitor?  Can just I plug in their EV instead, and assume the Indra Charger will smart charge it at Charge Anytime rates?

Yep @MikeyB I agree. 

 

Charge Anytime when linked with a compatible charger will award the cheaper charging rate for any and all scheduled charges.


The vehicle make and model is listed against the smart charger account to help us calculate the charging schedules, based on the listed battery capacity.


If you plug in a different electric vehicle, not currently listed against the account, you'll still benefit from Charge Anytime for that charge - unless you use the Boost function.

Yup!!! Whatever EV you connect to that Charger will trigger Charge Anytime and the lower rate, even if it’s a visitor. :)
