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..

I don't think so but its octopus who controls the charge in any case, based on the car model it was registered with.. interestingly, octopus groups car makes into categories which allow different levels of interaction, Ford and Tesla being the best one, others are more limited.

Yes I can relate to having 2 different evs, my mg4 is registered with IGO and I use this to charge my car via the Zappi, however my wife has a Renault Zoe and I have tried a few times to charge it with the zappi on IGO but it doesn't like it and often trips the zappi. So I have a dumb rolec...

Well at least its using up all that renewable power which we're told often has to be switched off at the windfarms.. whats the problem?

My understanding is octopus have said its for everything once the intelligent charge starts..

OK, didn't know that. So which cars do what, do you know? All MGs don't share?
