Why isn't the Nissan Leaf eligible for Anytime add on EV tariff?

The Leaf isn’t on the list of vehicles that OVO says is compatible with their systems. Does anyone know why?  I’m asking as I have a smart meter, a smart charger (not one of the ones OVO recommends) and solar panels and was hoping to benefit from the V2G when is is fully up and running..

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

 

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

 

  • Right now, solar panel compatibility with Charge Anytime is available through eligible chargers displayed here.

 

I have a Nissan Leaf e+ and OVO EV Everywhere Economy 7 (with smart meter) and I charge through a Project EV charger, I don't have solar panels.

(Apart from the problem with an App, not the fault of OVO) I have charged reliably for over a year through the Project EV charger.

I have been charging my car with no problem but am concerned that the Leaf is not on the list of cars compatible with the ‘direct to vehicle’ option that they are planning 

 

Keep an eye on our Charge Anytime product page@agapanthus - we’ll keep that updated with all the info on eligible EVs. We’ve also got a similar topic which may also be helpful:

As far as I’m aware, Nissan seems to be especially strict with the API access. It may be some time before the Leaf can be supported.

My new Nissan Leaf is not supported by the charge anytime app unfortunately. Does this mean my tariff is always fixed even during the night?

Hi @Upcycleplanet ,

There might be options yet! What Charger do you have?

Hi, podpoint.

Ahhh… Unfortunately that’s not supported at this time either. EDF owns Podpoint which causes a bit of a conflict...
