Any large commercial building owners wanting to flex their heating loads and earn extra revenue ?? Please get in touch [email protected]

[Lynton Green @Lynton_Green]

@au_tom_otive Yep, however I love that 99% of the time I can recharge my EV in the luxurious comfort of my own home 😉🔌⚡

[Lynton Green @Lynton_Green]

@lukeja @agile_phil @privatehireguy Or what if I have 6 hours overnight, and then start charge just from solar the following morning? I assume I just need to turn off smart charging so the hours don't count as the more than 6? Or vice versa I charge for 7 hours on solar during day and finish with hour smart charge?

[Lynton Green @Lynton_Green]

@agile_phil @privatehireguy What if you use your own generated solar to top up the six hours?
Surely your statement should say "you get six hours of smart EV charging a day"?
You can't charge me for two hours of using my own free electric?

[Lynton Green @Lynton_Green]

@agile_phil Also the charge history needs to show on a 12pm-11:59am date (not 0:00-23:59) so it's clear which days you have exceeded 6 hours of smart charging. It also needs to show time spent charging, not just time plugged in and available.

[Lynton Green @Lynton_Green]

@agile_phil Hi Phil - think there are some improvements to the App that would help this change.

When looking at usage, it would help if an additional colour was introduced to show difference between peak rate, car smart charging and off peak.

[Lynton Green @Lynton_Green]

@_KoLAN_80 @smil3r5 @agile_phil @philippac72 So during the summer do I just need to turn off smart charging on a sunny day? That seems counter intuitive, as very sunny days can end up being cheaper too, and surely Octopus wants to offer slots in cheaper periods.

[Lynton Green @Lynton_Green]

@agile_phil This needs to be right, otherwise it becomes a disincentive to using solar. And no I don't want to sell the surplus back as I'm still on a FiT.

[Lynton Green @Lynton_Green]

@agile_phil Alternatively I may have charged up to 70% on solar during the day, but need 90% by the following morning (extra ~ 2 hours). Will you be able to differentiate the charging sessions to ensure only charged for the 2 hours intelligent charging and nothing at peak?

[Lynton Green @Lynton_Green]

@agile_phil Phil, I still have a few questions relating to impact on solar and batteries usage. Ok if I drop you a DM to explain?

@RobertBoswall Could this be helped by further adjustments to the price cap? If Ofgem lower the cap would it force prices down across the market? Or does it need a wholesale cap?
I agree on locational pricing, but surely even more needs to be done?

[Lynton Green @Lynton_Green]

@OctopusEnergy Well that's long enough to top up the batteries 👍⚡

[Lynton Green @Lynton_Green]

@au_tom_otive @OxfordshireCC I'm struggling to understand what the ongoing operating costs of a charging channel are. Shouldn't the responsibility for keeping the channel clear of any detritus be with the house owner?

[Lynton Green @Lynton_Green]

@OctopusEnergy I could have used more, but you partly charged my car between 1-1:30pm on IOG. 🤣

Sometimes it's just important to give yourself a break and breathe the air around you.
