EV.Energy application

[Stu986s]

Hi all

not sure if i'm doing something wrong but I can't get the ev.energy application to work on an Iphone 8

I have setup the account, entered Tesla account details, it picks up my car, entered my home charger details and electricity provider but when I launch the app its tells me 'failed to get request details'

Any ideas?

... entered my home charger details …

I think this is only required if you have a Rolec?

@Jeeves , Rolec is the make of charger it displays by default, there's an option to choose something else which I have done followed by supplier and tariff.

The odd thing is when I log out and back in although it recognises I have an account I have to re-enter car details which it connects to and type of charger, the electricity provider and tariff is maintained

That seems odd. Looks like the app support people are the only ones that can help.

You need to enter car login or token details Not the Charger! In the app add the tariff for supplier. If you know the times (for economy 7) then set the start time in car charge page to stop the car starting charge too early. In the app set the time you want it to finish and the maximum price you want to pay per kwh. I think it defaults to about 15p /kwh if this is too low it won't charge!
So for example I am in Southern area which is 1:15am to 8:15am gmt I set car to 1:15 and ev energy app to end at 5:30am stupid early shift. Max price for me (Symbio Energy is about 7p/kwh off peak.
Typically it charges between them for about 4 hours at 32A. If you need a boost use the app not the car!
