EV Chargers

[5teep]

I did say in my defence I was probably being unfair

I do think a reasonable amount of people get taken in by these headline off peak rates.

You're not wrong in that people often don't look at the down sides in any 'deal'. I suspect that most people who go for the overnight tarriff change their thinking very quickly to "what can I put on during the night that I used to do in the daytime.." I certainly did.

Actually you're right I am on 26p peak time rate, and my standing charge is 63p per day, yes combined it is £1 per day.

I wasn't aware of smart charging, it sounds good?

EDF Smart Charge details here.

Says it's compatible with the following chargers

• Hypervolt Home 3 Pro
• myenergi zappi

I have the Hypervolt.

I live in a new build home and it came with the Sync EV 7KW charger so I have been using that and so far so good.

First charge issue
Ohme home pro with mg I smart app .
Ohme switches on at midnight till 5 am
Even though I smart is set to charge at the same time . when Ohme switches on the I smart has to be switched on by hand to start accepting the charge
Why won’t it switch on automatically ?

Try one or the other, not both at once. Leave the ohme set and just plug the car in with no timers set

I’ve had my Ohme 8m tethered and IOG for 18 months and around 10000 miles over the MGs: 5SE, 4XP and now staying with my S5 Trophy.
When I bought the XP it came with a £600 Octopus freebie - £300 home account credit and £300 Electroverse. I’ve only used on the road charging 4 times in total so have loads left on the card. I only spent £120 at home in the whole of last year, effectively free.
I’m on varied shift patterns and plug in at different times of day, IOG often puts charge in well outside the core hours. It’s on 4G so no WiFi issues. The monthly savings in fuel mean I’m basically paying £120 pcm on my pcp.
I was already with Octopus when I went EV so it was and still is a no brainer. The Ohme OS and App have never let me down unlike a couple of roadside chargers.
Just my experience but very happy with the whole EV experience and won’t go back to ICE!

Agreed I have the same set uo

 

[asti1488]

I’ve set up the ohme for a 10% charge. Between 12:00 and 5:00 which should give me a full charge . I won’t touch the mg app till tomorrow and see if it has charged . If so I’ll just use the ohme and keep the mg for info only Will report back with outcome

 

[Mickandsej]

I use the MG app for read-only when it comes to charging, let Ohme have full control over it. When on roadside chargers I just go max and do minimum comms, splash and dash if you like.

I use a Go E Charger. The flex Version with a connected Plug.
