.... no worries, just ordered one and likewise are fitting it myself - still got the electrics to do - but the main frame is millimeter perfect (so no redrilling of the holes), and also managed to refit the rear crash bar / towing eye - all I needed was a small cut out, which is only visible if...

Same here, nevertheless Octopus causes terrible problems when it starts outside of the 11:30-5:30am period.

"Shortly, we’ll introduce an option to either limit your smart charging to 6 off-peak hours or to prioritise reaching the charger target of your vehicle", 6 hours a day is more than enough for everyone 👍 - personally like most if they could just limit the smart charging to 11:30pm to 5:30am...

Ours never shows cost until the bill - I think its down to the meter brand. We are relatively high usage users (Nov 25 month was 1400kwh) the good news is that from todays bill, as long as the car is plugged in and charging then the rate is 7p for both the house, battery & car, as its always...

... which is why I "game" 😂 the system and just plug in as I go to bed, so that I get a solid charge block at 7p ready for when I drive away in the morning 🤷‍♂️ 🤷‍♂️ 🤷‍♂️

.... we have 2 EV's, so have created a generic (winter profile) car in the ohme app (can you not do this in the zappy), and paired to IOG via the charger. Octopus dont know EV's SOC, so just set a default on a battery size of 25Kw and a max charge rate of 3.68kwh to be ready by 5:30am, so more...

Yes mine is an ohme which had the same problem, until I moved the CT clamp from the solar / battery (MG4, Zappi and Octopus Intelligent Go) - now resolved.

I agree its a complete pain, also see this ....before moving the CT clamp (as luckily the EV charger was on its own consumer unit), I set the MG4 to only charge between 11:32pm & 05:28am - that way I didn't get any instant slots from Octopus as soon as I plugged it in to the EV charger.

On mine the EV installer did it (or was it the Smart meter installer? - it was all done at a similar time), it was simply a case of moving the CT clamp from the right (new circuit from main isolator switch) to the left (existing consumer unit) of the Brown Henley block. The bottom wire from the...

.... at lot of interesting discussion on this (Q & A at around 38mins) ... they want you to plug in as much as possible so that they can schedule those charge slots effeciently depending on demand / use home assistant to detect when your car is charging to charge home battery etc, so that...

The only way that I can see this working (without massive draconian bureaucracy) is to add the levy onto the unit rate of electricity when charing the car at home or on a public charger - which would be around 10p / unit. It would be quite straighforward to implement as you can only get a SMART...

... it should all be fine, as these systems self-calibrate = dont worry (I've gone down a rabbitt hole in recalibrating with a propper target, ODIS via a VW system) - to be honest the MG4 is the same as VAG car (with a Bosch system)

Anyone else got an email through on this in the UK, looks like a genuine Tesla alternative for short periods away from home / fleet users? GRIDSERVE Plus is £7.99 per month and you can cancel at any time.

Thanks ever so much for the heads up @Ian Robinson, just got a 20% discount code with it, which brought the price down to £162, did you fit it yourself or get someone locally to do it?

Impressive, who manufactured this?

Go for a worst case scenario at 1.5-2.0miles / kWh (i.e. your battery percentage left in miles) - the worst run I've ever had was ~ 150 miles on a full charge (standard SE) - at 70mph on a cold day. Best was ~ 220 miles in summer at 60mph hypermiling behind a lorry on the closest cruise control.

Agree, also could be weather related (given the amount of rain & wind this week) as a small bit of moisture could have gotten into a connector which is causing an electrical blip etc.

... it might be that you have a firmware glitch, mine doesn't work at all (although it did when I first got it, before any updates )

wonder what "sun protection" is 🤷‍♂️ 🤷‍♂️ 🤷‍♂️
