Hi @Rico
Heres my thoughts:
Of the intelligent tariffs only Octopus Intelligent & OVO charge Anytime exist, leaving the majority of the EV tariffs on the market are traditional two rate tariffs.
Car manufacturers use API’s for location, SOC, charging start/stop, car info etc, that is shared particularly between the manufacturer and the cars apps from a a 4g connected car. These intelligent tariffs seek to gain this information to offer these tariffs. This can become troublesome for energy companies, when manufacturers tighten up restrictions on sharing these API’s outside their circle. The VW group are such manufacturers doing this especially Skoda and non european manufacturers can proove more troublesome to access the cars API or in Hyundai’s case, they aren’t very good at API’s.
Now perhaps to the point – Ovo is transitioning its technology platform from Kaluza to Enode’s platform, which is a platform directly focused on connecting energy companies with smart devices, enabling seamless integration with IoT devices, thereby simplifying energy management for consumers and energy companies alike.
As for Ohme chargers, they are either not compatible with Enode or they simply don’t want to move to Enode. I suspect either reason is because, their chargers aren’t compatible with IoT devces such as solar pv or solar battery. so OVO have dropped them from their intelligent Anytime tariff.
