Hi all!
Incoming NEWBIE question. Never owned EV before.
I’m about to pull the trigger on a Pre facelift mg5. I’ve had a quote from octopus energy to have the ohme charger fitted and to move onto their 7.5p per kWh night tariff.
Has anyone here had any experience with the above charger / provider with a PRE Facelift mg5?
Simply I want to get home from work at 6pm, plug my car in and then it automatically starts charging at 23:30 and stops at 05:30 at around 80% charge. Is this possible with the Pre FL & ohme home pro charger?????
I’ve read online that the charger won’t know how much battery is charged on the pre facelift cause there is no ‘API’ ?? with the pre facelift. Does this mean it will just keep on charging up to 100% / when I take the plug out???
I’ve also read you need to tell the charger every time you plug in how much battery is in the car already and then work out what to tell the charger to go to to get you to 80% SOC. does this need to be done every single time I go to charge?
Will I have to go out to my car at 23:30 every night to plug in?
So many questions lol. Any help appreciated. Basically I want to plug in and forget about it until I wake up for work in the morning. Is this possible?
Thanks in advance,
So much to learn!!
