I see, that's a lot of money to run a twisted pair to the zappi, so I can understand doing it manually.

Ah I forgot, I think you need to wire the battery ct to the zappi also.. if theres an ethernet cable going to it there may be a spare twisted pair you could use..

If you have a ct around your battery wire, it therefore has a sensor for current charge and discharge.. there is an option on the zappi settings to avoid battery drain. Unless they've changed it. A query to Myenergi may solve this conundrum. Do you have a battery symbol showing on the myenergi...

Rear wiper? Luxury, i dream of having a rear wiper 😀

85 miles range? We used to dream of 85 mile range! Youngsters today just dont believe you..

Exactly.. why would you? If youre that cold wear a coat, saves the planet 😀

Didn't know M&S sold tyres? Sounds about what I get in my MG4 SE

Can't see why you would need both on at the same time.. heating cabin for 10 mins warms up seats and steering wheel too.

Regen will be limited at 90% SoC i believe.. so its a fair notification.

No smart plugs.. has the car not got a scheduled timer? If not, just plug in near your cheap rate. I use a 16A industrial socket with a charger lead from 3rd Rock Energy.. this gives you the option of what current to use, 8, 10, 13 or 16A and also a delay start option too. Works well, mine is 10...

I would hope Octopus are different, they do have several benevolent policies eg electric blankets they give out..

A good case of using AI for monitoring..

That would be unfair on the large number of ev owners who can't share the API but are using the system fairly.. if they have the ability to monitor and prevent unfair usage then more piwer to their elbow i say.. its always the few bad apples which spoil the barrel.

They don't need a ct clamp on the feed.. the evse itself monitors how much charge its providing!

If that's true then octopus has changed their mind, and policy..
