Introducing Charge Anytime - next generation EV charging

Hey @Stevenlevy,

Jeffus is correct, you can access Charge Anytime with an eligible charger. 

Am I eligible?

You can see all eligibility details in our Charge Anytime page here.

• You must be an OVO Energy customer and have an eligible car or charger. We’re constantly looking to open up the eligibility of this product to more EV models and chargers, so if you don’t see your tech here, keep an eye on our page. 

If your charger is compatible, then any EV can use anytime … all other considerations in place .. smart meter, half hour readings etc

Hey @Chris DJ,

Welcome to the OVO Online Community,

Pod point is not a compatible charger. They list Indra and Ohme at present. 
Any compatible EV will work with any charger as it’s a compatible charger or a compatible EV for Charge Anytime. 

Yes .. your EV is compatible so you can use any charger

And yes, with a compatible EV but not charger you use the D2V method with the anytime app

Sorry .. D2V is just short for direct to vehicle. 
The team at smarthome@ovoenergy.com are working on new additions but there are no updates generally given until release as it’s down to access to the EV system they need from the manufacturer which is not always easy and often changes from model to model

I presume so - I don’t have a Pod point so not sure. The Charge Anytime app is what takes control. 
From an earlier post

The Charge Anytime app is used for direct to vehicle (D2V) control. Where a customer has an eligible vehicle but does not have an eligible charger, they should use the D2V app. Where a customer has an eligible charger (regardless of whether or not their vehicle is eligible), they should use the charger app.

The difference between the two at the moment is that the D2V customer will see savings in their D2V app, whilst the charger customer can see savings in a page called “Your EV” in the My OVO account.

If a customer has an eligible charger and has downloaded the D2V app, they are likely to be setting schedules in multiple apps which will cause a conflict in commands being sent to charge the battery. As a result they may miss their ready by times and will probably not be able to reconcile their Charge Anytime credits.

I have an Indra Smart Pro, It works with my new car, a Subaru SolTerra Touring providing you do not try to set up the charging timings etc on your car. The same applied to the SsangYong. You set the charging times on the Kaluza App and if you have charge any time  then all you have to do is set the time you want the car charged .

Hope this helps.

on charge anytime my car which  is the i5 does not appear 

Or an Indra Smart Pro, I am led to believe.

Yes - Charge Anytime works with a compatible charger or a compatible EV

7p a KWh is quite a temptation and as yet I have found that it works. Octopus are the next lowest at 7.5p but I do not think that is anytime.

I have charge anytime in ix3. It’s not exactly anytime. Because what happens is you say when you want the car. Charged and it does the rest but it stops and starts throughout the day and night.  If you want immediate you press emergency charge but it’s at your full rate. 
 

octopus is only at night but I believe they give you something during the day too.
