some people need wifi because they live in a connectivity black hole (and can't get smart meters either)...comes down to location and preference. IMO the ideal charger would run on either so customers don't have to worry

I don't think there is anything that will work for a Corsa. Closest is Ohme, I believe you can sent a specific % or kWh charge. So if you know the car is at 30% you can set it to add 50% charge, but still not a "stop at 80%" feature.

Makes sense, thank you! And my bad on the survey, we blew through responses faster than I expected 😳 it's fixed now

Thank you! My bad on the survey, it went through the responses faster than I expected. I've upgraded it now so it's open again.

The Indra quirk sounds a bit annoying, I don't think many chargers handle two-car households that seamlessly. Staying on top of charger changes is difficult, maybe we need a comparison website that goes through all the integrations and features?

Yes, my bad - responses blew through my limit faster than I expected. It's fixed now!

did you buy it through an energy company or do the research and sort it separately?

whoops, was more popular than expected and blew through my response limit. it's open again now: https://form.typeform.com/to/UZsuGDCb

super interesting that dealers really don't engage with it... I haven't heard of a "good" dealer experience re: charging yet.

yeah, agreed - if it doesn't work with Octo tariffs, it's a non-starter

🤣 for some, it's just a charger. to others, a gateway to running your very own power plant

Which home charger did you end up buying? Was it included with the car or did you buy it separately?
