This was soo much neater:

I have always had an MPG spreadsheet - well since I earnt enough to fill my car up whenever I go to the petrol station. The biggest issue I have is adding charge only to 80% (or a different percentage). Now I can just add some charges together, but if I only charge to 100% once in a blue moon...

Thanks. Will take a look. Just leave it plugged in all the time? Is the example one you recommend the best (or the one you have?)

Interesting. Where do you plug it in?

Quite proud of that leccy usage at 10:20am! (No heat pump!) my new game is going to be to try and get the average p/kWh charge down each month! Although I got an email re peak rate going up soon :-(

Where do I look to see this?

Hi, In ICE cars we all know that AC on means compressor on and loss of power/poorer fuel consumption. I've never noticed having the fan on gently made much difference to the MPG either. Now when I turn the fans on, even at pretty much ambient temperature and leave it on low, the mileage drop...

Yeah it is nowhere near as aggressive as it ought to be saying “erm, ‘Fraid not, wait until off peak to charge”, just sorts you out cheap charging at any time off the day almost?! There got to be some dodgy things to do with a battery (with or without solar!), given you can get guaranteed 15p...

Well I've never been so excited as to receive a leccy bill! But it finally came today... and +10 points for @SteveMSJ and -100 for Octopus Energy's Customer Services! You were quite right Steve, the bill (fortunately electronic, rather than cutting down half a forest!) does show the half hour...

This is the response I got. Clearly, as you say @RaspberryMan and @SteveMSJ they just don’t have a clue! I will charge cautiously until I get my first bill… I’ve done enough ‘on peak’ off speak charging to see if it works. Given how great and modern the offering is from Octopus it really does...

Crikey. I’m sitting at 37% on my drive and no plans for more than a couple of miles every other day for a few days. And I’m still like CHARGE IT!!! 🤣

Hmm, OK, thanks @SteveMSJ , you’ll forgive me for going a little light outside of 11:30pm to 5:30am until I get a bill! :-) Yes the App at least admits it doesn’t have a clue and just won’t tell me the total spent since I changed from some fixed tariff to IOG! I’ll be a little peeved if it...

These emails from Octopus are worrying - first they don’t seem to know their Octopus Go off peak hours, second they don’t understand the Intelligent Octopus Go tariff! So I have no faith whatsoever as to what rate I’ve been charging at. :mad: I’ve gone back and asked them to review their...

ah, I’m on Apple…

What phone are you on @securespark ? That app looks V different to mine!!
