I received a message from the Octopus app telling me I needed to re-activate my Zappi V2 charger in the app. Fine I thought, I'll do it now. To cut a long story short, I've now been left with my charger disconnected from my IO Go tariff and unable to add it back into the app as it now says I...

Yea I think I'll give them a ring and see what they say.

In the last week or so, I've been getting loads of random seatbelt warnings on the dash. It appears to believe that there's someone sat in the back with no seatbelt on (first red icon flashing on the dash). The constant pinging is driving me nuts!! There isn't a single thing sat on the seats...

This is my experience too. Since they moved, it's gone down hill. Way too many chargers left in a state of disrepair.

The app itself was easy to use but I believe they pull the "status" of the charger from the network owners via some kind of API. When I looked at the chargers on the CPS app, they were also showing as online and available despite the opposite being true. That aside, the Electroverse app and...

Funnily enough, we stayed in the Premier Inn in Dumfries. There were two Geniepoint chargers in the process of being installed. One was still clearly under construction and the other looked like it was just waiting to be commissioned.

So I took the missus down to the South West of Scotland for a short break this week. There were a few places she wanted to visit down that way including a gem museum. So off we popped with a full charge in my LR taking the scenic route through the Galloway Forrest. It was beautiful. I had no...

It's always intrigued me why people get caught up in the resale value of their car. Unless you've bought a collectable vintage Ferrari, you're car is NOT an asset. I've always seen my cars as an expense who's value depreciates year on year. After 5 years I get rid of them regardless of how much...

So for the past two nights, my OIG charge schedules have been kinda messed up. When I plug the car in it does the usual waiting for surplus thingy in Eco+ mode. When the charge schedule starts, the Zappi starts charging then stops saying "waiting for surplus" then kicks in again momentarily then...

Same, I'm all set up and ready to go :)

That's exactly what I get but don't forget, our integration is with the charger, not the car. There is no communication at all between the car and octopus. The car is irrelevant. The schedules are being sent to the charger (in our case the zappi). I'm going to give mine a day or two to see if...

I've been informed tonight that the charger integration doesn't actually kick off a test charge, it just goes through the motions of it in the app. The device icon will appear on the app when the IO tariff switch is complete. It only does a test charge using the vehicle API to ensure your...

My own email account :)

Hi all, Has anyone else had an issue setting up intelligent octopus with a zappi V2 charger (Latest firmware)? The sign up stage goes fine in the Octopus app until it gets to pushing the test charge. I add the zappi charger and my MG5 LR. It connects to my myenergi account OK (I have no...

To be honest, I just charge the car to 100% I done that with my last EV (ZE40 Zoe) and the degradation over the 6 years I had it was negligible. I sold it with 99% SOH If I was to switch to IOG I'm assuming it would just charge to 100% if I set the charge limit to 100%
