Hypervolt EV charger, when will this be compatible with Charge Anytime?

Just read on another convo on here that OVO don't have a date for when the hypervolt charger will be ready for charge anytime.

Why is it even on there as an offering at the moment? People are probably getting that charger based on OVO saying this will be working by early 2024, it's still not working and there is not date for when it will be.

And having a compatible car doesn't save you either of it's a newer one, OVO seems to be quite slow with getting this sorted out. 

All quite poor from OVO 8 thought.

It is clearly listed as not compatible yet. If you choose to buy anyway, that’s on you - especially as three other Chargers are listed as Compatible Now AND there’s a link to a list of Compatible EV’s that also work.

Full support for the Hypervolt is coming soon. I don’t yet have a date.

Caveat emptor, as they say, is definitely relevant here.

 

We've been working with Hypervolt over the past few months to improve the Charge Anytime partnership with the Hypervolt Home 3 Pro and Hypervolt Home 3.0. The trial was a success, which means we are thrilled to officially launch this feature with full Hypervolt compatibility. You can take advantage of all the benefits of Charge Anytime with your Hypervolt charger. 

 


See our full list of compatible EVs and chargers here.

Already with OVO? Charge Anytime can be added to any OVO tariff for free. So you can benefit from a super-low EV charging rate with all our tariff options.

 

Not with OVO? You can still check your compatibility before you switch.

Indeed, that is good news. We - as the Forum Volunteers - will also be keeping track of this alongside the Forum Moderators because this’ll open up a lot of currently blocked setups.

Just a really quick heads up though - nothing bad (promise!). Once Hypervolt support becomes official, it may take a little time for us to catch up and update all the references across the Forum - and there’s a LOT of them! - and for OVO to update the official list so please bear with us in that regard. If you do spot any outdated ones after the official launch, feel free to post here on the Forum and we’ll see what we can do. :)

I currently have a BMW iX3 that is compatible with Charge Anytime. I also have v2 of the Hypervolt charger. 
 

I know that Hypervolt will eventually make v2 compatible but unless there will be any significant differences then I shall leave things as they currently are and continue to let the very good BMW app and the CA app work together.

 

Good to see Hypervolt on board though.

There’s also a Hypervolt V3 in OVO’s Smart Meter Lab right now. I think they’ve been having fun with it for testing stuff as it’s always powered up - I was in there the other day when we got to visit the Bristol HQ again.

I've been signed up for a few day now. I was going to give it a longer test period before posting about it.

 

So far so good though 👍
