Hi,

Had a Buzz for over a year and changed electricity supplier to Octopus recently. I don't have an Ohme charger, but was able to set up Intelligent Octopus fine. I do find smart charging a bit patchy - the car defaults to Charge Immediately when I plug in, even when at home, and it often charges itself to 80% with no regard for the schedule that Octopus is showing me in the app. I've reverted to telling the car to only charge between 23.30 and 05.30, but this isn't a great way to charge as you often get off-peak electricity outside of these times and the Octopus App complains it can't charge when it wants to. Anyone come up with a reliable solution that doesn't involve a lot of faff? The car has very reliable access to WiFi at home.

Thanks

Q
