Same. But I still find that the car takes from the batteries in precedence to the Zappi, so I've woken up to find tge batteries have been filling but discharging to the car, and hardly any power left in the batteries. That's why I've set the car to be charged by 4am. Not sure what else I can do...

Ah! Gotcha. Yes, that's what I would expect. Though I'd only expect the Zappi to get the cheaper rate at those times, I would still expect be paying peak rate for all other household use. Though I'm not actually sure how "intelligent" the system is and whether it can differentiate between Zappi...

Just as well I only need to charge once every 4 days then. Can you explain: "when your car stops charging the next end of 30 minute slot i.e. xx:00 or xx:30 is when your 7.5p ends." As I wasn't aware of this. Are you saying, if the car starts charging early, and then finishes by 4pm, I'll be...

This is what's left tonight. It started at 3.05pm-4pm.

Sorry if you already know this... I have Fox batteries, Intelligent Octopus and Zappi. Set iSmart to charge car to 80%. Set Octopus app to add 80% by 4am. Leave the settings. Whenever you plug in, Octopus will see that you can't possibly add 80% by 4am, so will start charging early, but still...

If CT is charge time(?) I think that's what we've done. We have a 10kWh Fox ESS battery system that can only draw 3kW, so takes a minimum of 3hrs to charge; we have the Zappi set to have the car ready for 2.30am, when the inverter starts pulling. Does that sound right?

I did this last weekend. No issues. They accept and connect to the Zappi charger, not the car. The only issues I've had relate to my battery system drawing cheap power, and then the Zappi switching over to draw from the batteries instead of the grid.
