I found out they already did! They use Enode to simplify support for the devices it supports, but it is integrated within Octopus’ own “Kraken” technology, and that also supports additional things not supported by Enode. They are still selling and installing Ohme chargers with no signs of...

One has to wonder if it is really worth the reputational damage and loss of customers just to save a few bob on development costs…

Ah, I wasn't aware of that, thanks. I'll not bother with them then.

[ Moderator: See also this topic on the same subject. We've decided against merging them: https://www.mgevs.com/threads/ovo-charge-anytime-and-mg-cars-ohme-home-pro-charger.21931/ ] I’ve just received an email from OVO telling me that due to an upgrade to their system, my Ohme Home Pro...

I got the impression from the video that it relies on the wireless CarPlay connection only, so only newer MG models (e.g. MGS5) might be able to support it via an update.

Oh I didn’t realise that. I’ll probably avoid 11kW in future in that case. I guess 22kW must be 7.4kW per phase then? I’m sure I’ve used one of those and got the full power.

No it didn’t. It remained at 1.7kW. It was 1.7kW from the beginning. I turned on battery heating after a few minutes and it dropped to around 0.3kW but then it went back up to 1.7kW and stayed there. In the end I had to drive across the road to a 75kW Osprey charger. A bit inconvenient but at...

I’ve had my car plugged in to an 11kW Gridserve unit at Ikea for about 40 minutes now and the whole time it’s only managed to draw 1.7kW. Has anybody seen this before? It’s currently 1°C outside, but I turned on battery heating just in case. I also wondered whether something might have happened...

I see Battery Heating but not Cabin heating. Are they equivalent?

I use the OVO Charge App (I believe similar to Octopus Electroverse) and it has some decent discounts. I've only just got a home charger installed but until now I'd been using a 150kW RAW Charging charger nearby which on the OVO app was 58p/kWh (52p for me as I pay the £2 per month basic...

I scheduled preconditioning in the Ohme app but how do you do it in iSmart?

I got an Ohme Home Pro installed yesterday and have similar questions about the cabin preheating. Do I still need to go into the MG iSmart app and turn on the HVAC before I leave? Is there no way to schedule it? What does the Ohme "Cabin Preheating" schedule feature actually do?

I recently got R33 installed on my SE LR and have since found Carplay to be very temperamental. It either doesn't start up at all, or it will just cut out after 5 minutes. Has anybody else had this problem? I'm unsure whether it's an issue introduced by the software update or somethings wrong...

I think I was hugely overthinking it (got to stop doing that). Thanks for all your replies. I've asked for it to be installed in the Garage. DNO notification already sent out so looking forward to having it installed soon.

I'm finally getting around to ordering a Home Charger. I've decided upon the Ohme Home Pro as it allows me to use the OVO/Octopus special rates (currently an OVO customer) and the convenience of the tethered cable seemed good. However, I am not sure whether to place the unit on the inside or...
