Hi All
Just managed to swap my energy company from Eon Next to Octopus Energy.
Eon Next have been promising to bring out a ev charging tariff for months but nothing was happening, even called in but no promises apart from being put on the interested list.
Anyway
I'm now on Octopus Go, not intelligent (sounds right lol) paying 43.5p during day up from 34.5p but only 12p during 00.30 till 4.30.
Did some maths (again with not intelligent, how did they know?) Taking into account my rather lackluster solar panels I will save over £45 a month in charging with the tariff. C Grade maths to the rescue.
I've a zappi charger (solar panels etc) but have not had to bravery to try using eco to charge with solar assistance yet only fast charge.
Now Ive got my new tariff, I tried to set a zappi schedule charge, but alias plugged it in and went straight to charge. I undoubtedly did something wrong.
So I went to my MG app (isn't it really cool, an app for a car!) Set my schedule on that, then plugged car in, hey presto charge delayed showing on zappi. Woop woop!
Fingers crossed it works, but I'm riding high on positive waves (Kelly's Heros).
Thought I'd share and hope the bridge will be there lol!
