EV general discussion

[Diddums]

Anybody else had a email from Octopus about this new "stream" thing. They want us to leave the car plugged in all of the time even if it doesn't need charging and you can get extra cheap rate slots for the whole house. It also starts up a sort of game from what I can make out "the stream" in which for every day you are plugged in you advance a slot and can discover fish. It's supposed to be in the app under devices but I can't see anything related to it. I even checked if there was a app update where it has been added but no update available.

Probably helps with their forecasting models for free slots and stuff.


Octopus are a very clever company, I'll give them that.

I've got it on the app. Showed I had 3 days in my stream tonight. TO be honest I like Octopus. They are trying to innovate and Generally I've found the tech to be reliable. There are a few quirks but I think Intelligent Go is a clever and very fair way to support the EV transition.
