Intelligent Octopus Go

[ivan]

I get that screen when my TESLA APP has a lower charge limit than the octopus charge limit. Also, around November/December time, they made some kind of changes to the OCTOPUS EV charging section of their app so that octopus charge limit applied itself to the tesla car/app, and it didn't work properly for several days, then they rectified whatever they'd done wrong. Sometimes even if you have the charging limits set correctly, you need to change them to remind Octopus what they are - make them lower then higher again. The general rule is that the charge limit set in your car or your car app should be 10% or more HIGHER than the limit set in the octopus app.

I get the unexpected charging start a couple of times a week - I think when octopus needs to dump surplus electricity! I usually set my charge rate to 1A when I'm not intending to use it - so that they don't dump much into my tesla when I'm not expecting it, but occasionally the charge rate jumps to maximum for no obvious reason
