Well I quite like the new UI.
Sadly scheduled departure still won't work for me on Octopus Go. I just set it up and entered the end time for the 5p rate of 04:30. When I plugged in the car it started to charge right away
Either they need to allow input of a start charging time or simply aim to finish at approximately 04:30. I prefer the aim to finish approach because:-
a. It's only one piece of data for the user to enter
b. You will always end up fully charged by the end time and you might not with a charging window. I don't care if I'm really low and it starts to charge before 00:30 in order to ensure it's full by 04:30. You could always lower the the charge to % if you're keen on saving every last penny.
c. The later the car finishes charging the warmer the battery likely is by the time I come to use it, reducing the energy needed to precondition.
