      Morning ​@MandyC and welcome to the OVO Forum. I’ve added the EV badge to your profile.

       

      Thanks for your post - it’s nice too see someone on the Forum with an Alpine - very cool cars! The Alpine GTS isn’t compatible with Charge Anytime, however you can use any EV with Charge Anytime, so long as you have a compatible charger.

       

      Do you already have a smart charger installed? If so, hopefully it’s one that’s compatible. You can view all compatible charger types here. If you don’t have a smart charger already, you could look at getting one installed through OVO.

       

      We’ve got a handy FAQ article about Charge Anytime on the Forum here:

      I’ve checked and we are already on charge anytime as we have a Renault 5 which is on the list of supported cars so we did not need a smart charger. So am I right in saying if we install a smart charger now that we will be able to charge both cars on it on the same scheme? Does the charge anytime scheme allow 1000 miles per month per car?

      Hey ​@MandyC 

       

      The allowance on the Monthly Plan is based on the total monthly EV charging, rather than being a separate allowance for each vehicle.

      If you get a compatible charger, you can use that charger to manage charging for multiple EVs. As we'd be communicating with and controlling the compatible charger rather than the individual vehicle, the cars themselves don't both need to be on the compatible vehicle list, so your Alpine GTS would then work via the compatible charger.

      As to your other question about the kWh price, the charging allowance works out at an equivalent cost of around 14p/kWh based on the current Charge Anytime rate.

       

      I hope this helps.

      How much is the charge per kWh when used through a compatible charger please? We don’t have a compatible charger a the moment but I am arranging to replace our old charger with a compatible one shortly.
