Over a week ago I used the 200kW PoGo chargers at Crick M1 - first time user and impressed. Easy to use, nice big easy to read screen with charge graph etc, and at 65p full price, 60p with Electroverse, somewhat of a bargain nowadays. But the question is, I haven't seen this charge come...

Most people could probably spread a big charge over a couple of days. For those that can't (big milers) the part of the charge at the bump rate is still much cheaper than public charging. But I guess if this is enforced without any tweaks, you'd need to compare the overall IOG cost against...

But the customer doesn't ask for "6 hours @ 7Kw", they ask for a total kWh to be delivered by an end time? So long as that is delivered what does it matter if some slots are "slowed down". Edit: ah! I see the point about reduced charge rate and exceeding the 6 hours. Something Octopus need to...

Maybe, but IOG often sets the max charge rate for some slots lower than 7kW. I guess it would depend on how much extra demand they want to create at any particular time.

What difference does that make though? The car is still charged in the morning either way :confused: One way potentially enables more renewable energy on the grid, and one doesn't.

But that restriction is down to MG not opening up their API to Octopus, drive a VW (or any of the other compatible cars) and you can just plug in as they originally intended. The fact they have opened it up to non-compatible cars albeit with that one extra step is a bonus. And is setting the...

Are they going to up the monthly data limit as well then? I can imagine lots of updates stopping when the current small limit is reached.

Which, afaik, only works when the infotainment system is running. So as much use as a....

The SE has fixed units in that the low and high adjust as single entity. The Trophy lamps are individually adjustable low & high. The factory high beam adjustment seems to be way off on many cars.

You need to use the iSmart app - MG do not allow third parties to use the car API. The Ohme will just keep the power switched on for you to use if you wish.

Worked fine for me this morning. I have to wake the car properly by doing the "scan" (second icon, the shield with a heartbeat) after that I switched on the defrost, rear window heater, and drivers seat heater ok.

40+ IT years consulting for big corporates and government for me too, and I have to agree it is never simple, even when the data is all available. I came across a bank keeping vital bits of customer information in an Excel spreadsheet on a office desktop. Another that was running a custom...

If they are not going to monitor the milage how does it work then? I'll wait to see what is actually announced rather than some speculation.

I don't have a Zappi, I'm just interested. But does it not allow you to have multiple car profiles which define the battery capacity and max charge rate? I only have experience of an Ohme so far and this allows you to do that. So with multiple cars, you would select three things: the car...

It re-appears once charging is scheduled (and maybe in progress).

Same with the cutting off at 5:30, that is hindering you too.

As above, the car should stay at 80% if you set it at that. The only time mine has changed is when I get a "token expired" in iSmart and when I log in again it had reset to 100%. But if you are setting the "to add" value reasonably accurately it should not go much above 80% anyway (mine stopped...

And Octopus are correct, they cannot read or control the car - MG do not allow it - that is why you have to manually set the "amount of charge to add" each time you charge. OIG has always been like that.

Yes, but most apps refresh the token automatically in the background and then discard the old token.

Mine has always emitted random bongs and chimes with nothing on the screen - we just ignore it now. Alarm fatigue, which means you may miss real warnings that need some action.
