Re: Intelligent Octopus or Octopus Go

Hello ChangoMutney So to answer your questions 1) are there downsides to using IO rather than OG? - Not in my opinion. 2) how does the 6hrs timing work? Does Octopus give you 6 hrs when they can if the prices are right or do you always get 6hrs between 11:30-5:30 and the reduced rate? - You get 6 ho...

Re: Ready by heating

I noticed mine this morning was drawing 6.4kw from the zappi running the heater at 20 degrees. As already said it does heat up the cabin quickly so no idea how long it will be drawing that much for. When you using the app to start the heater it runs for 30 mins before stopping. When set for schedule...

Re: Footbrake Sound

I believe its down to a squeeky break pedal. Mine does the same thing, its not every time I break and sometimes when the car breaks itself it happens as the pedal moves. Its on my list to speak to them about when it goes in for a service next year.

Re: Is this Range Anxiety?

Depending on how far away the charge port of the car is to the wall charger if you get a longer 7m+ lead then something like this in the pavement might help. You could use it with a granny lead too. Not sure if you'd have to speak to the council about getting it fitted in the pavement but it would p...

Re: Advice please prior to new Enyaq 80 Coupe' purchase.

If memory serves me right you can turn the collision assistance from early notification to late notification. It generally shouts at you before doing anything and if you dont respond it starts to break. Its not gaurenteed to stop you from crashing, it is designed to lessen the impact of a crash. On ...

Re: Rumbling noise from Aircon

I would say its likely something in the fan causing the problem. Either a bearing that isnt sitting right or the blades are hitting something. Sometimes with computers a bearing may get a bit of grit or dirt in it that causes the fans to make a hell of a racket but it doesnt happen all the time, jus...

Re: Car settings preventing scheduled charging?

From my understanding you need to remove all scheduals on the car and charger to let Intelligent Octopus control the charge wither via the charger or the car. They will decide on a charging plan once you have plugged the car in. You can specify in the Octopus app what time you need your car ready fo...

Re: Issues charging at home with universal cable from Skoda - red buttons (plug, house and car)

if everyones cars start charging at 11:30 pm If they all stop charging at the same time if they all go on charge at the same time Well, yes, yes and yes. But I really can't see these three conditions being met. If we take the half-million EVs you mention, what are the probabilities governing the st...

Re: Issues charging at home with universal cable from Skoda - red buttons (plug, house and car)

What?! Why!? To help reduce the load on the national grid. If all the thousands of cars out there all charged at the same time there would be a massive draw on the grid and it wouldnt be able to cope. Random delays allow the grid to gradualy fluctuate up and down when needed. Newer chargers can als...
