Arh …… So, how are folks taking advantage of any cheaper off peak rates then, by delay charging their cars on off peaks times ?.
Can these times be set up in the wall box or are for people using the “Granny” lead, are they having to resort to using a plug in timer !.

Found that they do not fit the water proof wall box I have. I only use at a relative’s house. I had plan to move to off peak and use it to control my granny charger, but now I will fit a water probe box with a timer and socket if price comes down.
To me there is no off peak electric if you take into account the standing charge which can be as heigh as 42p a day then the high cost of the peak price then are you saving much at all when you balance it out.

This is a very good point, I guess it depends on your usage case really.
No two people are likely to be the same.
I have one of the older dumb wall boxes, the original ZS EV did not offer any timed delay charging via the head unit in the car.
I had to adapt the wall box to accept a Wi - Fi
Relay.
Then I could control the timed charging via an App on my phone !.
