This is a heads up for anybody with the above gear but I also know it's happened with other cars and maybe other chargers used with Octopus.
A month ago a neighbour with identical gear as us had a problem, his car wouldn't charge for 2 days and he had no schedule.
It took quite a while of rebooting, trying his car on my charger, my car on his charger before we realised his Octopus App was set to Charge To 40%.
He swore neither him or his wife changed it.
Last week I had exactly the same thing happen, messed about a bit before I noticed the Charge To was 40% and I know 100% me or the wife hadn't changed it.
I put this info on another forum where 3x users confirmed exactly the same thing happened to them and gave reasons why it happened, basically Octopus not wanting you to keep getting cheap Kw for the house during the evening (maybe).
So basically when you plug in and get your Schedule up on iGo, just check that Octopus hasn't set your Charge to 40%.
