Hi, I am hoping to pick up my first EV this weekend and have a few questions. I've spent hours researching but still have a few questions!

 

The car is a VW e-Golf which is not compatible with OVO charge anytime so will have to get a compatible charger.

Ohme pro was my first choice as it's compatible with OVO and IO and also it's seems very popular. But unfortunately I don't like the look of it especially the cable bracket and holster. 

So I am now looking at the Indra smart Pro 

- Is the app compatible with OVO or do I have to use the Indra web app?

 

I am aware of how Charge anytime works as it uses the greenist time to charge the car. Are there any restrictions on how quick it can charge? For example, I come home with 20% battery and I need it to be 80% within 4 hours. Will it charge to 80% within this very short time?

 

And lastly, with the VW I believe there is an option to preheat the car before driving off, does this feature still work with OVO anytime?

 

Thank you 

Hi @E-golf Charge anytime wont change the speed of your charger if you buy a 7Kwh (what  most are) then that's what you get. With the E-Golf having one of the smallest EV battery's at 32kWh then 4 hours will get you 28kWh. So yes if your at 20% 4 hours will get you to 100%  

Thank you. 

 

Anyone able to confirm the VW pre heating function and also the question about the Indra app/webapp please?

Thank you.
