Re: Octopus intelligent go tariff pod point and enyaq

It is still clear that VW Group / Skoda don't understand the modern world and IT, despite statements to the contrary. They need to jump through hoops in order to sort this out, but their statement shows no signs of their acknowledging this. They'll lose a lot of customers if they don't shake themsel...

Re: GivEnergy EVC - Utterly useless

I've have a GE system - since December 2021 and has had none of the reported faults. It may be the way mine was sized as the battery usually fully discharges every day, but the big SOC drops just haven't happened with mine. 4.6kWp split South and West and have generated 3.7Mwh and 3.6Mwh for the la...

Don't buy GAP insurance from a dealer. Plenty of on-line placed to buy it much much cheaper.

The FCA is currently preventing underwriting of any new GAP schemes because of outrageous profiteering, pending an enquiry.

Re: GivEnergy EVC - Utterly useless

My brother had a Givenergy battery system and solar/battery inverter system installed and it performed so badly when compared against my Lux/Pylontech system that he had it pulled out. The main issue was software bugs meaning it didn't work properly.

Re: Charging rates

From a 150Kw charger, I was looking for 150Kw or close. Not 50 or 60Kw. Is that unrealistic? Yes, completely unrealistic. Look at the charge curve for your car to see (scroll down to see the Fastned graph): https://ev-database.org/uk/car/1280/Skoda-Enyaq-iV-80#charge-table The max you can get is 14...

Re: Charging rate limited to 3kwh with ohme

I find the car integration to be unreliable. The mobile signal to car isn't great and the car refuses to use the WiFi for this (apparently). To make it work more reliably I set the charger to 'timed' 11.30 to 5.30. That way, if OIG doesn't react to the charger activation (through either Octopus or S...
