Re: Calling all PHEV owners !

I'm sure I've posted this before but having an EV charger installed isn't as straightforward as you would think for some. Even though I live in a detached house it turned out I have a looped supply which meant Northern Powergrid had to do a site visit. They checked the fuse box and main fuse which ...

Re: Calling all PHEV owners !

Octopus Go. Without having an EV charger that can be programmed my car would be charged long before 00:30. I guess if you charge using the 3 pin charger that isn't an issue. However I can get the car fully charged in less than 2 hours so all my charge is at 9p pkwh. That said the EV charger wasn't ...

Re: Calling all PHEV owners !

I switched on Thursday to Octopus GO. I did a test on Wednesday night before signing up and it worked using my Hypervolt charger and I did the same last night and it worked post switch. As part of the signing up process Octopus send signals to your SMART meter to make sure it is capable of sending h...

Re: Calling all PHEV owners !

You can't sign up to the 7.5p pkwh tariff unless you have their specific charger or a compatible car as far as I can tell. I do have a 7kw smart charger but I'm not eligible. The Octopus go is 9.0p pkwh but the window is only 4 hours from 00:30 - 04:30. I'd be surprised if there is much value to be ...

Re: Calling all PHEV owners !

Did anyone sign up to an EV friendly tariff? I'm due to switch either today or tomorrow. I could only get Octopus Go which has a smaller window of 4 hours cheap electricity.

Re: PHEV charging

I used to have an occasional problem both using my home charger and public chargers, however it's been playing nice for the last few months so wondered if there had been a software fix in one of the updates. When I had a problem as well as the red light I would be able to hear a series of clicking n...

Re: Unusual section of carpet under drivers seat?

I've not looked but my Ultimate has ventilated seats which I believe uses some sort of fan/blower. That would be my guess (it is a guess).
