EV charging cheap rate tariff like octopus

Hi @C Emerson 

A really great suggestion in terms of our current EV plan offering. I’ll forward this one on to the team, in the meantime I’ve open it up for votes to see the level of interest in other members. 🙂

Thanks for this idea, @C Emerson 

We’re going to change the status of this idea to ‘Can’t be done yet’, as EV plans aren’t covered by the digital product teams working with us here on Forum Ideas. 

It will be really useful for our EV and commercial teams to see the interest this idea gets, so we’ll leave it here in ‘Ideas’ to collect (or not collect) votes...

are you making it too complicated by trying to link it to the car recharge usage only rathe than taking the half hourly reads  for thee hours selected and deducting the normal  usage for that time? 

Not that simple to do I’m afraid. There’s too many factors and too much filtering that would have to take place, and it’d be open to a lot of potential abuse.

Metering what the EV uses is much simpler and easier to calculate in comparison, as you simply need to calculate how much eco juice the EV pulled from the charger during eligible charging sessions.

i know, i can see that people might make use of other kit at the same time, but the car usage is an obvious spike.   But i know the car app / system will say the battery has gained x KW  but the app for my home charger will show a higher number because of the energy consumed in the process.  For some reason the chargers software  isn't a system match   Surely they just need to agree a report requirement  form all chargers to feed into the suppliers system

any progress on widening the use of EV charging overnight Jess or Tim?

its time for me to choose my supplier:-)  Cheaper overnight EV charging is the clinching issue for me

Is your car or charger not compatible with +Anytime @1954hlm ?

Both I'm afraid, 

I already had a charger when I joined ovo and they say its not compatible even though the company say they have reached out to ovo.

 As the cars systens aren't in place yet its not either,  but it is on octopus,  Ford is a little known manufacturer 😁
