Umm, no not at all. My slots are EXACTLY the same with an “Off peak end time” set in the Tesla app or not. Just tried toggling it on and off and generated new slots which are exactly the same slots for both options ! And NONE creating a “shoulder at 23:30” as you suggest. This is pretty much...

What do you mean by “it interferes with IOG”? And “the Tesla schedule starting before the IOG schedule”? Do you mean Octopus gives you extra slots before 23:30 instead of after 05:30? ie it starts charging before the ‘core 6 hours of cheap rate’ instead of after? Not quite sure I follow how it...

Yes they are. Was simply asking if they were the new LFP type or the older Lithium Ion type. Probably, I should have said “the older Li Ion type” to be crystal clear. But you’ve very helpfully cleared it up. 😉

Haha. Yep, well I don’t need telepathy if the car is over 23% when I arrive home, which is 99.5% of the time. I only need apathy, which I’m excellent at. 👍🏻 The other 0.5% of the time I admit I look and make adjustments 🧐 😂 I find it works really well, especially for the wife, who is 0%...

Have you got LFP batteries in your MY performance? Or are they Lithium Ion (same as my 2022 LR model Y? (I suspect they are Li Ion still, same as the earlier MY LR). LFP batteries have a pretty flat voltage over the usable range, so it’s hard for the BMS to know an exact % figure without fairly...

Hi, Top tip: If you have a normal 7kW charger and the IOG integration is with the Tesla and want a hassle free 80% every morning; 1) Set the “off peak end time” in the TESLA app to 05:30. (And 80% or more) 2) Set the “ready by time” in the OCTOPUS app to 05:30. And 80%. Doing this stops the...

I guess it’s the std 3.68 + an extra 5. I got 10.12 kW export approved but think I’m the only one with panels on our street so far.

Yeah, these “smart” meters can be a bit dodgy. I’ve had them replaced at least 3 times. Took ages of messing about. They worked for a week or two then didn’t . The last ones seem ok after they added the extra aerial on the electric meter, despite the signal being good before! I guess them...

I think for a most of the year “all electric house” you’re doing very well TBH. 👍🏻 Don’t forget that’s all your car fuel as well. It isn’t easy with these big old solid wall properties. We’ve been effectively 100% off peak usage since end of June last year, and even exporting a (tiny) bit of...

we use quite a lot of gas, so it’s worth a try, we’ve got gas CH, cooker and a couple of gas fires. Even when we ‘don’t use any’ in the summer it’s still about £3 a day - presumably for hot water cylinder heating. Since joining Octopus flexible; Aug £89 Sept £88 Oct £165 Nov £340 Dec £370 Jan...

You’ll probably need to email them or call them.

Thanks @spon88 @Drew57 Much appreciated. Presumably there is less chance of it spiking up in summer? Sent the email to swap. Should have done that 9 months ago 😅 Better late than never.

What’s the average price on the Octopus gas tracker? Would you say it’s a lot cheaper than the standard Octopus gas tariff I’ve been on since switching to Octopus last summer? I’m guilty of ignoring the gas costs as I’ve been mainly focussed on my electricity

IO is linked to our car.

My IO charging is working fine still. I haven’t updated anything yet. I haven’t received any requests to update anything either. What is all this talk of virtual keys ? Is this some kind of update required that we all need to do? Or just specific to some cars/ people? And if an update is...
