    Is there any reason why you would not switch to an Intelligent EV tariff like Octopus Intelligent Go? At 7.14p per KWh, it really does make sense. Octopus are still offering me occasional 3 hours of free daytime electricity once or twice per week which is brilliant too.

    Ofgen is considering a two rate tariff (what a suprise not!). From my POV as an electrician its not good idea to have white goods running whils’t one is a sleep nd I’m sure as hell the fire brigade would agree with me! From my perspective I’m happy my smartmeter is about as dumb as me ? Secondly the “smart” in charger will one day in the not so distant future, will along with the smart meter allow what we all know as V2G on a similar basis to the intelligent tariffs 24 hours a day.

    I have retired ? Something I was going to discuss with @Gloss-Guy as hehewill have to sit down and have the discussion where charging is concerned, if he becomes serious about the iX1. Its not a simple installation put it that way ?

     

    What happened with those quotes?

     

    Yeah, complex installs are definitely something the Motability install handles either averagely or really, really badly, depending on who you get given.  Again, if I knew an electrician, retired or not, I’d be seriously considering paying him to do a decent job on a decent charger, especially if something like solar panels could possibly be in my future.
