Those are still fixed afaiu. Octopus kept the disclaimer saying they are working on an alternative solution. I guess those are renewal quotes for existing customers whose contracts are due for renewal, but they still don’t accept new sign ups as of today.Since these are now variable tariffs and above the price cap these would receive the price cap discount surely? If I calculate correctly that would bring these rates pretty much exactly in line with the previous rates. At least for Go.
What calculation would you doSince these are now variable tariffs and above the price cap these would receive the price cap discount surely? If I calculate correctly that would bring these rates pretty much exactly in line with the previous rates. At least for Go.
It always has been, AFAIK. Its why I moved from the 5 hour Go Faster to IO in summertime- cheaper and longer than the 5 hour Go Faster.Yikes!
Interesting that Intelligent is cheaper (and longer off peak).
You can turn off smart charging. So you can use the Tesla one night on Smart charging, then turn off Smart Charging to charge the Peugeot the next night between 23:30-05:30.Just got my renewal information through from Octopus (my Go fix expires at the end of November. I'd be going from 13.97p and 5p to 41.6p and 12p apparently, with a near doubling of the standing charge - wowzer!!!
For those with a better grasp of Intelligent, I'm guessing I'll struggle with 2 EVs (Tesla & Peugeot) and a PodPoint charger...?
You should be fine, as long as the PodPoint can act in dumb mode. We have a Model 3 and a Pug 208-e. I just charge the Pug when we need to in the IO chap period. IO will not be able to control the Pug, just the Tesla, but it's no real hassle.Just got my renewal information through from Octopus (my Go fix expires at the end of November.

Since the new rates are described as ECO7 one would expect them to operate for 7 fixed hours following the ECO 7 schedule which moves about according to summer/wintertime and where you are in the country. In Gloucestershire at the moment the timing is 1:30 am to 8:30 am, and will become 12:30 to 7:30 after the clocks change.You can turn off smart charging.

Or, leave the Tesla on smart charging, and charge the Peugeot on a 3 pin between 23:30-05:30 at the same time.
For some reason, Go has always been described as Eco 7. It's not though, just a long-standing quirk of Octopus' tariff sheet.Since the new rates are described as ECO7 one would expect them to operate for 7 fixed hours following the ECO 7 schedule which moves about according to summer/wintertime and where you are in the country.

Interesting then that on my screenshots of the tariffs there is no mention of hours or periods for the night rates.For some reason, Go has always been described as Eco 7. It's not though, just a long-standing quirk of Octopus' tariff sheet.
Quick tip : try to keep the phone awake and stay on the octopus screen. Both time the test charge failed for me was when the screen went off, I thought it would continue working in the background... apparently not.Ended up on intelligent.. still a doubling of cost for me, not happy but what can you do?
Test charge seems a bit flaky.. it'd help if it told you what it was actually doing rather than just saying 'tests usually take 7 minutes' meanwhile I'm sucking juice at peak rate.. It's already failed twice!
You'll be up and running immediately. Your account page lags behind a bit.Finally got it to work and I assume it's switching.. gotta be patient I guess. Switched ev.energy back on for tonight.. since I plugged in I might as well use the 5p Go rate whilst I still have it.
No, not no
