Tomorrow looks particularly challenging according to the octopus email for charging EVs
Are they asking you to hold off if you can?
Being Friday (with presumably lower demand in sight the next day) it would be the ideal time to draw down V2G from those people not planning on going out and recharge them over the weekend. Perhaps a double bonus for exporting at crisis times - but then isn't that what Agile does anyway?
Is a premium being offered?
2.0 kW/4.62 MWhr pa in Ripples, 4.5 kWp W-facing pv, 9.5 kWhr batt
30 solar thermal tubes, 2MWhr pa in Stockport, plus Congleton and Kinlochbervie Hydros,
Most travel by bike, walking or bus/train. Veg, fruit - and Bees!

its just the weekly email from octopus informing you what days are the greenest to charge your battery.
from 1-100, the higher the better.

Its another live one, so expect similar terms to the last one.

I assume they exclude saving sessions in the assessment of your normal usage?
Is it worth trying to get additional IO cheap slots this evening and charging your car?
12x 340W JA Solar panels (4.08kWp)

Yes and yes.

In fact if it turns out to be another £4 / kWh payout its actually worth it paying peak rate.
Any amount over £3.05 / kWh will work out better if your on IOG at 30.5p peak.
I'm going to give the SH's a blast between 5pm and 6pm tonight.

So another Octopus Saving Session?
Interesting the time is earlier than on Wednesday - starts at 4.30pm rather than 5.30pm?
