I gave up boosting the peak time a couple of weeks back but because of the two saving sessions on 29th Feb and 1st Mar which are weekdays, they don't count so I still have a couple of included boosting days which should give me about a 1.7kW baseline, so thats an extra couple of quid for tonight's session. :xx:

I didn’t make much effort yesterday but had done a fair bit if driving earlier in the week and pleasantly surprised with a baseline of almost 8 kWh :)

I didn't see that coming, should have done a top-up session last night/this morning! I was thinking that we're now into a slight daily surplus, so was going to just let it drift.
Hmmm! Shall I top up now with daytime-rate units to get the £1.75 export on as much as possible? Probably...

Its on and its double jeopardy with two 30 min sessions :shock: , 17:30 to 18:00 and 18:30 to 19:00 but low volume again at 75MW, so small payouts.

But I would imagine Octopus will pay out £1.75 again irrespective of what happens in the bidding, going off past form. :xx:

Those with very small battery capacity will be able to re-charge during 18:00 to 18:30. :twisted:
