Big battery. Everyone’s maths will be different depending on storage capacity and usage (and solar capacity). I have one Powerwall 2 and can avoid any draw in the afternoon peak +/- 1hr but there is no way it will stretch the whole day. I don’t think the economics are fully there for adding...

I was being conservative with the 20% round trip loss, but I have seen that figure multiple times. The uncertainty of Agile seems to be a challenge but if you look at the higher rate you pay on Go for the hours of the day you are not on 5p - and if you have restricted batteries or a high base...

Bit late to this thread, but you are correct there is no direct integration other than with the Tesla energy/Octopus Telsa tariff. There are "hacky" options out there to control the Powerwall from a local raspberrypi or a third party integrating with the cloud API. Hopefully they'll open up a...

I set my OHME cable up today. Very straightforward. Plug it in, download app, scan QR code on the back of the cable. Register with OHME, enter your Tesla login details (so the API can trigger a charge I guess), choose your tariff - Agile Octopus is one of the choices. In the app you can then...

Another voice of support for EV chargeking cables. I needed a slightly longer cable than the standard supplied type 2 cable, and missed the Tesla button from the UMC when I got a 32A Zappi installed. The 6m chargeking cable is very useful length so I don't need to worry about exact placement of...

If you are an Octopus customer they have a deal where you can get an OHME cable for half price. Link: Octopus Energy Go vs Agile: I did a lot of number crunching on Go vs Agile. Without changing any consumption patterns, Agile was 15% cheaper for my consumption profile than Octopus Go based on...
