Switched to OVO for Charge Anytime - setting up my VW id4 but website says it's not compatible?

So I have just moved to ovo to make use of your charge anytime tariff. I choose the charge any time add on and go through the steps of identifying my VW id4 (version 3.2 software) and then the ovo website tells me my car isn’t compatible even though it is on the list of compatible cars?! 

 

Any thoughts

Can you see 30min readings on this page?

https://account.ovoenergy.com/usage?datePeriod=daily&unit=kwh

Typically you need to wait 4 to 6 weeks after switching, has it been longer?

 

 

No I’ve just selected it to be enabled. I thought it did it by default when you select a smart meter at sign up ?

 

If you can't yet see the 30min readings on the usage page it means ovo can't read your meter yet. It should happen automatically within 6 weeks. So you can't yet sign up to Anytime if you can't see the readings. 

If that is still the case after 6 weeks then phone up OVO and report it.

Just sharing a recent workaround for this from @markvwid4 themselves:

 

I have solved this issue.

 

Step 1. ignore the OVO website.

 

Step 2. download the app

 

Step 3. Sign up and it will work with the VW.id4

 

The error is on the OVO website where you select the dropdown boxes. not the actual system or app.

Maybe we should consider an update to the best answer...
