Re: Intelligent Octopus Go
I was going to post a picture of my big pink bar but unfortunatly the picture posting site still has problems...

Re: Intelligent Octopus Go
Nowty, just checking an example here:
If I disconnected the car at 1435, drove a bit, got back at 1515, plugged back in and got a new schedule starting immediately (at 1515)...the 1430-1500 and 1500-1530 would still be cheap rate, correct?

Re: Intelligent Octopus Go
Correct!
I often wait until 2min past the hour to pop tp Tesco. If I get back at 58mins past the same hour and plug in I get continuous cheap slots.
Some people game the system by plugging in at 58-past, unplugging at 2 min past then doing the same an hour later...

Re: Intelligent Octopus Go
Anyone of you still have a gas boiler and on intelligent octopus go? Can I ask what tariff you are on for your gas? Thanks.
Re: Intelligent Octopus Go
I'm currently on Tracker for gas, sadly not the v1 tariff that I was on until August.

Re: Intelligent Octopus Go
I’m on tracker for gas. However despite having a gas boiler, it has been a few years since I’ve used it for space heating.

Re: Intelligent Octopus Go
Yeah, I've stayed on tracker too. Doesn't seem to be anything better out there at the moment.
Unfortunately, gas central heating is our main heating source in a poorly insulated home, so getting a bit expensive lately for not much benefit.
I know it's a good idea to keep an eye on the price though, it seems to be over the 6p/kWh mark a lot of the time lately.
Dont want a £1/kWh shock out of the blue!
