It talks directly to my charger, that way I can charge different EV’s. If it’s setup to the Tesla it’s not going to work when another EV is connected.

Someone just pulled up at my house expecting to be able to charge - because of google?

Why do you need it to work when another EV is connected? you get the discount either way with intelligent Octopus
You get a discount on some late hours but with intelligent charging you can get discounts on additional hours if you use it as you are supposed to...Why do you need it to work when another EV is connected? you get the discount either way with intelligent Octopus
Has the "Intelligent" part of the tariff escaped your attention?

Our house has Ram Bollards on the driveway, so nobody is getting on or off it easily.
Our three Zappi wall chargers are locked with Personal Identification Numbers.
PIN to Unlock
PIN to Charge
PIN to Access Advanced Menu
Unauthorised car will not charge without PIN or remote authorisation via APP
But authorised cars will charge fine, and via Octopus remote charge.
Cables are secured by Master Lock wall anchors.
All Wall chargers have security camera surveillance with alarm & remote access.
Other than that... it's fairly low key really.

I rarely charge my second EV for more than 2 1/2 hours so i don't need to use it to game the system for extra hours.
They can call it what they like so long as i get the cheap rate.

I don't bother with any of that, nor with Smart Chargers, 'coz its a right royal pain to faff about when someone visiting wants some juice - and although that is not often it is increasing and, I suspect, won't be long before it is common.
7kW is around £3 an hour. I work form home, but I suppose if I drove to work someone could plug in for 8 hours each day, and I might then do something about it. I think that rising-bollards once they were IN would be the best option
even more so once cars have V2H / V2G

I suppose we do really.
In my street we have 7 houses.
6 houses are 'out of work' ... I think it's called Retirement... and the scumbags keep buying stuff online bringing their 'riff raff' van drivers, window cleaners, gardeners, builders, electricians to the street.
Seriously, what are they thinking??
The last attempted house burglary was 25 years ago, last Century in fact. Far to close for comfort, its made me well nervous.
So far we've only had one incident with our driveway bollards. When the Tesco Delivery driver was carrying our shopping trays in. Unfortunately his unplanned attempt to walk over one failed, and I could see the tears in his eyes reflecting the incident, so he won't do that again.

My Wife reported to me a couple of days ago, an argument on our doorstep between a delivery driver and her.
He said the 'Tesla' is the better car, which meant her Skoda VRS came second.
He agreed it was still the 'VRS' ... So was still good, but the Tesla is the 'Daddy'...
I noted this confrontation, and will be using him again...

yeah, but first you have to find the button - maybe that's what takes 8 hours . . .

Actually, boredom.
It's that mix of too much time on my hands.
Fun projects though. Costs little to set up, except some imagination and enthusiasm for it... and a fully charged impact driver with SDS Drill.
The security cameras are now perfect for dancing spiders, frogs, badgers, foxes, cats, magpies, package deliveries and weather watching.
