Anyone here switched from intelligent Octopus Go to EON Next drive? I would like to know their switching experiance, esp.,
- how long it took to switch from their flex to next drive tariff?
- Does Ohme recognise the off peak tariff and smart charge accordingly or would I have to create a schedule?
- Does it slow or impact the charging rate when using Ohme home smart charger?
I’m on IOG and planning to switch to to EON Next drive. I dont drive my EV much (200 miles per month school time, 500 on term hols max). Main motivation is to get washer dryer finish at 7ish and move more morning usage to cheap rate. Answers much appreciated!
I was already an eon customer and it took one day to switch to the Next drive V5 EV Tariff.
I had to set the dual tariff up manually, as the peak rate price and standing charge, varies depending on your region.
I don’t use the ohme smart charging at all, I set the schedule in my car for 12am to 7am plus the max % of charge, I want. Also I turn off dynamic charging.
The one problem with ohme is it’s reliant on the 4g connection and also the connection to their servers via the app, then it gets sent to the unit.
So you can get the offline error problems and then it don’t send the schedules to the unit.
When I charge is when I need to charge. Which is why eon next drive suits me best, as I also only want to charge overnight, but I need it to be reliable.
