@Gurneya15 hi again, I hope you’re well.

 

Apologies for the length of time it’s taken to get an answer on this for you. A colleague in the EV side of things has come back with the following:

 

I've just tried going through the OVO Charge App journey selecting a BMW x5 and I got an eligible outcome. So i'm not sure what is happening for this user.

To clarify, if they have no EV Charger, they will need:

  • BMW x5 PHEV from 2015
  • The EV needs internet access
  • No solar panels at home

 

Please let us know if this helps.

Hey ​@Gurneya15,

 

Welcome to the community. 

 

I’ve just checked the compatibility list and the BMW X5 is listed.

  • X5 (2015+)

 

Just a reminder to make sure you're using the OVO Charge app on either iOS or Android. I've also included a helpful guide below to assist you in getting everything set up.

 

 

If you’re still having issues with setting it up then you can reach a member of our Charge Anytime team at any of the contact options below:

  • Calling 0330 175 9678 (Option 1 new customers/option 2 existing customers) 

  • Email via chargeanytime@ovo.com

Thanks for the reply. 

I should have said I was looking at the BMW x5 missing from the OVO Charge APP. Account devices list.

Are you migrating from our old Charge Anytime app ​@Gurneya15 or are you a new user?
