Oooh don't get many Ford EV posts!

You are right, Ford cars are compatible with the Intelligent tariff that gives 6 hours cheap overnight.

Maybe but intelegent octopus works off the half hourly meter reads not ev only additional software 

 

If its live, it begs a question if customers have registered an interest why havent we been updated.?..

Intelligent Octopus only works with the following:

We can currently connect with Tesla, Jaguar, Land Rover, Ford, Audi, BWM, Mini, Skoda and Volkswagen (excluding ID models), OR any car that uses an Ohme charger.

Intelligent Octopus requires compatible cars or chargers like the OVO offering. 

You may be getting confused with Octopus Go that simply works with half hour meter readings overnight. 

@Tim_OVO should people who registered for interest have been contacted?

Noop, It works by interacting with the above cars charging system, via a internet link, to charge outside of the overnight window or programme the charging to assist balancing the grid, but you still get the lower rate from the time stipulated on all use.
