Question

Linking Car to OVO Charge App

On the OVO Charge App, should my car show just as a generic type, or should it be my specific car (i.e. VIN number/Registration number)?

On my OVO Charge App, under Account/Devices/Car there is a list of cars and models that presumably the OVO App supports and I have added my car model (Renault 5 E Tech 52kWh 150hp) and this (under “Vehicle Specs” in the OVO App) lists battery size and charging speed so that OVO knows what charge the connected car is capable of receiving; I assume.

It does leave me with the question of whether my specific car needs to link to the OVO App (and I don’t see a way yet of doing this) or whether this generic model link is the way to link the vehicle to OVO scheduling.

Sorry its a basic question!

Hey ​@Simon550 

 

Just to be sure, are you linking to Charge Anytime via the car or the charger?

@Abby_OVO the Hypervolt charger and OVO Charge app are linked but the OVO Charge app just shows the type of car I have rather than the specific car I have; so it doesn’t include my car VIN or registration number. I was asking if this was correct or not, and if not, how I register my specific car (rather than model type) on the OVO Charge app.

Hey ​@Simon550 

 

As you’re connected to OVO Charge via the charger, you won’t always see the car details - and if you do, it is purely visual anyway as Nealeb mentioned. As we’re getting the data via the charger it’s not necessary to link the car too in the same way, so we don’t need the full make and model details.

I don't think I have ever entered more than car make and model, never reg number. Make/model/year should be enough to provide all relevant info.
