Intelligent Octopus Go - just when I thought I understood!

Yes, its the correct car and it added just over 59kWh, which checks out going from 30% to 100% (battery is 84kWh). The Zappi is set to Eco+ and there are no schedules other than in the Octopus app.

It basically works fine apart from not stopping the charge.

I suppose I could set a limit on the car so it doesn't go above 80% and then plug in just before 23:30 to ensure it doesn't charge on peak, but its a shame as it otherwise works great.

I have to set a limit on car (Etron) because I often get "can't communicate with car" and it fails to stop.

i am glad I have not had that issue as my car doesnt have the ability to force stop a charge at a given percentage

PS unless its changed recently (in which case "yay") but IO is 7p at cheap rate not 6p so if you are averaging 7.5p it sounds like it has not added much at peak price.

Its an EV from Octopus, so we get the Intelligent Go EV saver tariff which is 6p off-peak rather than the usual 7p.

Yes, this is exactly the same as what happens on mine. Ill have to set a limit too, I think.
