Possibly because when you actually realise how well it works you can’t really believe it because it’s too good to be true…….. :p

Hi David The GivEnergy app has quick set buttons to charge, discharge and pause. So if I have a schedule I can charge the batteries straight away. I’m not sure about PWs. What I will say is IOG is a great product and very very flexible and very generous at times. I suspect with the long range...

IOG will be much better in terms of use and cost especially if you export. We have 3 EVs, 17 kWh in heat pumps, 19 kWh GivEnergy batteries and 5.6 kW of solar. Last months bill was £4 and that includes octopus overcharging 23 kWh of peak electric, of 27 kWh peak use, which we didn’t use. Ps...

How do you find what actually did charge? Plus how accurate is it? TIA

Sometimes it’s mins, but it can be half an hour As Browellm says I just switch charging off on the app and if I need a schedule straight away I refresh the app until it appears. If it is being particularly slow I turn smart charge off in the app and then enable it and that normally works pretty...

I had the same today, device tab disappeared from the app after I received an email from octopus saying I had to update. All done and working as it was last week.

That’s a bit concerning. Looks like they are having a few issues. They are normally very good at sorting these sort of issues out promptly. Has anyone had a bill since the charging issues arose over the past week. In the past when their have been connectivity issues and the car hasn’t charged...

Is there anywhere that shows how this can be set up?

My car has started doing this today. It was fine a couple of days ago and I haven't changed anything and I haven’t updated the app when they asked previously as it was all working fine. My view was “ if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” maybe it needs fixing :p now I’ll leave it for a few days and...

If you have a schedule and the car is plugged in, any electric used will be off peak during the set schedule, whether the car charges or not

Is it not linked to octopus go or IOG? I’ve had the same email. If you trigger an off peak schedule on IOG then that would register, one suspects, the email.

Do they want proof of a 2nd Tesla ?

Octopus is saying they have lost connection with my vehicle but I know they haven’t . Octopus is still generating charge schedules and controlling the charging. I am going to leave it until it stops working as it sounds like lots of people had issues re-connecting and it’s a lease vehicle so...

Tesla app and octopus app is pretty glitchy at the moment. The schedules aren’t updating in the app but octopus is controlling the charging on the Tesla. I’ve just switched the charging off in the Tesla app multiple times, even though a schedule doesn’t show in the octopus app but would...

I’m not switching until it stops working. Way too risky judging from others trying.
