New Octopus Go tariff and off peak options?

[tj333]

Hi, I am preparing for the arrival of my Model 3 LR AWD. Its due to arrive end of March. Will be looking to install the Ohme wall charger within the next couple of weeks and now looking at my energy supplier. From my research it looks like the Octopus Go will be the best tariff for me, 4 hours nightly charge will provide approx 100 miles of range, so over 2-3 nights I can get back to 90% even after a long trip as well as my daily commute. I would be willing to have a 5 hr off-peak for 5.5p just for the additional flexibility it would provide.

I don't have a smart meter so I might have left switching a little late.

Would anyone be willing to share their referral code?

In your messages , from my experience I would recommend the extra flexibility of the 5hrs, I do around 100 miles per working day.

We've been on a smart meter with Bulb who've been promising an odd peak rate since Sept 19 but it's never materialised.
Had a hunt around yesterday and Orbit are offering a tariff of 10.98p for electricity do for anyone who needs to charge anytime or can't be bothered with timing charges that looks handy.

Definitely horses for courses ... the 5 hour slots would cost me a little more .. but still fabulous value and allowing for that higher regular use. If I had a Model S or X with higher consumption I would certainly consider it.

I’m sure if you email or ring them and tell them you forgot, they will add it for you. Let me know if you have a problem! DM sent

Brilliant. Thank you for that. If you have a problem doing it let me know, and I can rattle the cage of my contact at Octopus

I think you'll be fine, I'm aware of someone else doing it retrospectively.

As long as you didn't use one of the switching/comparison sites then you should be able to do it.

Thanks Mark - no I signed up directly through their site last night. I would have done it back in October when I got my car but I was stuck in a contract with British Gas so thought i'd let that run it's course first.

Or simply cancel your application and start again?

You’re very welcome @DaftPunkPhunk and thank you!

Have you got your car yet?

If you’ve any other questions or queries, please get in touch.

No car yet, hopefully pick it up at the end of March, just had the charger fitted too only a Podpoint though, didn't realise you couldn't schedule charge

Not long now then.

You can schedule the start of charge on the car, but not an end time as well. I just work on the basis of adding 10% charge per hour at 7kW and set the charge end % on the Tesla app. So I can add up to 50% per night at cheap rate. (10% an hour for LR M3).

... or on the M3 SR+ with a smaller battery capacity it works out as 56% charge added over the 4 hour period.

yes that is exactly how I have been doing it as well though I find it just under 10% with my charger so I go for about 38% in my 4 GO hours which is more than enough most of the time.

If you use their app there is an option in there to add a referral code retrospectively and is exactly what I did, and got an immediate email confirming.

Have nothing but good things to say about Octopus so far, our transition to their super green tariff has been smooth and painless

Where is this on the app? If someone can tell me and let me have a referral code, I would be very grateful.
