But don’t change it if you are on Octopus GO - their off-peak period is 0030-0430 all year roundReminder to change schedules for Car Charging, and from 3rd party tools like TeslaFi, if you have Economy-7 (i.e. clock-based which does not adjust the Off Peak time with the clock change)
If you have 1AM to 8AM in Summer the equivalent will be Midnight-to-7AM in Winter
I’ve never come across it, but it sound brilliant. It means you get all day at cheap rateSo only been at my current address for 4 months and October has been my first full month of EV ownership. Gone to submit meter reads only to find that all my charging has gone against my day rate!
Been monitoring over the last day and it turns out night and day are the wrong way round.. right now I'm using the low rate apparently.
Anyone come across this?

In that case I’d get on to your supplier pronto. Explain that it’s their fault and you’d like the charges on your bill reversing please.At first I thought the same but I'm only really home during the day at weekends. This month I've used 611 kWh at peak and only 126 kWh off peak..
Yes, happened to us, years ago, when we had a house with E7 and storage heaters. The house had been rewired just before we bought the house, and we found out fairly quickly that the rates were the wrong way around! Luckily I spotted it quickly and sorted the wiring out so that the supplies were the right way around.
Having said that, with a newer E7 meter and no storage heater circuits it shouldn't be possible for the physical wiring to be the cause, as there most probably won't be a separate E7 circuit. Do you have two separate circuits coming from the E7 meter, one for the peak rate supply and another for the off-peak supply? Older E7 installations were arranged like this so that the storage heaters were turned on and off by the meter, in effect.
Not entirely sure what I'm looking at to be honest, just lots of cables!
Looking at that grey box, in the middle, it has a sticker "Rate 1 = Normal, Rate 2 = Low"
At the top of the little display screen it looks as though there is a "Rate 1 2 3 4 ..." indicator, so I am guessing that there is a "mark" next to the 1 or 2, depending on which rate is "active".
Would be worth checking that it changes from 1-to-2 and back from 2-to-1 at the correct time
E7 rates are not all at the same time. Are you 100% you know the times of the off peak electricity? Sometimes you can have more than one period of cheap rate.
