Non-Charging

[Deleted member 10041]

Cant fault my ohme ?no issues this far, all done on the ohme app (nothing with the car) it talks with octopus intelligent and it sorts everything out. I just tell it when I need it by.

Octopus intelligent was easy to sort out also, 6 hrs at 10p (2330-0530hrs) rest at 39p. Also have the possibility of some extra time periods.

I’m considering the Ohme for my Daughter when she gets her EV.

? ? ... well done Leni16, I always thought that you needed "selected cars like Tesla, Ford, VW, Audi, Jaguar, Land Rover and Kia" for Octopus Inteligent, however it does say "OR any car with an Ohme charger" , so can MG EV users with a Ohme charger get 6hrs at 10p (2330-0530)?

Yeah intelligent works with any car (car is irrelevant) as long as it's an ohme charger

Ohme is also compatible with OVO 24\7 charging

.... but is it available to new subscribers? - as far as I'm aware only Octopus is currently available to switch to (with a smart meter II fitted), which for myself was an absolute nightmare to get the meter working, arhhh (April 22-Nov 22)?

Can't go wrong with 10pkw charging

..... but if you are the average car & house user (10Kw/day house & 10Kw/day car)... you'll find that the costs are not significantly different to the energy price cap @ 34p / Kwh, the main way to reduce your costs is to get home battery storage to offset the expensive day rate

24\7 is a nice touch handy for me as work alot of nights obviously the 5p was better

Using V2L is bit like a storage battery?
Now if only you could fit a type 2 socket to a storage battery that's a game changer

10 + 10 at 34p is £3.40+£3.40= £6.80 a day

10 + 10 on intelligent, Probably use at least 1kw for the house in the 6 hours so 9 + 11 is (9 x 39p)= £3.51
11x10p is £1.10 so 1.10+3.51= £4.61 a day.

£2.19 a day difference

£65.70 over a 30 day period.

to be fair have been enjoying a wee whisky tonight so my maths might be off.

I believe like all energy suppliers at the moment you need to do it by the phone

.... Well done @Leni16 these are the sorts of figures that I was getting, but now that battery storage is in place, its down to around £1-2 / day, nevertheless the payback at current rates even with battery storage (my system is a 7Kw Pylontech system + Victron Energy ) is around 5 years?
