    Zappi + Intelligent Octopus in beta

    Just seen this. I don't have a Zappi so can't tell how valid or relevant this is. https://support.myenergi.com/hc/en-gb/articles/18470101583377-Zappi-Intelligent-Octopus

    Mer - Meh or Yep

    On a trip soon and looking at my route a Mer charging stop with 8 rapids looks a possibility. Stop in question is Blue Diamond Worcester Garden Centre, WRS 7SW. Has anyone any experience of Mer, or even this location. I've never used Mer berfore but an opportunity to use my Electroverse card. :)

    Geniepoint sinks even lower

    Received an email the other day from them informing me that they're raising their pre-auth charge from £8 to £35 for PAYG customers. For those with an account a mere £25. Not seen this reported on here so apologies if it has. I will continue my avoidance of anything that bears their name, but if...

    Ionity - a summer reminder

    For anybody planning trips over this summer, or anytime really, if you like using Ionity don't forget their passport subscription. I've used Ionity a few times and once you get the charger started they work well, however relatively few locations. For £10.99 a month (cancellable anytime with a...

    Electroverse plug and charge

    Looks like Electroverse (Octopus) are introducing plug and charge using their card. We know that plug and charge works on Fastned chargers with MGs (register car on the Fastned app) but is not currently included in the list of compatible cars with Electroverse. I have provided feedback asking if...

    Android Auto apps

    My AA has updated now and has the nice split screen but I was wondering how do you get rid of unwanted app icons on the screen tray/taskbar at the bottom (not the big screen with all the apps that you initially select from.) This also relates to before the update, I couldn't fathom it then...

    Changing EVSE

    I have a Rolec, works perfectly well but I have a hankering (yes hankering is allowed in polite society) to change it so that I can switch to Intelligent Octopus from Go when my fix ends. Financially it doesn't make sense but my sense of wellbeing might be. :) When the Rolec was installed it...

    Renamed - the immersion heater thread (was about about cost of SVR vs Go)

    Following on from another thread where @Vipar wasn't sure whether it would be worthwhile switching to Go from the Standard Variable rate, I have created a simple spreadsheet to show the break even point between the 2 tariffs. I have kept it very simple, taking no account of standing charge as...

    Lots of free electrons

    I checked my p*dp**nt account and in the last year i have had just short of 400kWh of free electrons from them from numerous locations. Now that seems a lot but I'm sure our Scottish friends can knock that out of the park for free. I got to thinking though that 400 at 7.5p on Go only works out...

    Bonnet refills

    Wondering if anyone uses the Bonnet refills as I have a free month still left in my wallet. I'm asking because of the recent deception/sneakiness with the promotions where an expiry date was added at short notice and then even when using within that period I was still charged. The refills do...
