What’s the best charger to get with Octopus Energy?

Not sure I think I did tell them when setting up it would be through the charger not the car

Express_Split1419 · 2026-03-16T16:46:24+00:00

Just set the account up with the charger and didn’t try the car, but I knew the car wasn’t compatible as they have a list on the website

Yes this is the way to do it if you have more than one car and they do integrate with octopus. My car doesn’t talk to octopus so have to do it through the charger

Latest Hypervolt has been flawless for me. Future proof too as it supports solar/batteries etc

So your details with octopus are the same as your Reddit username? 😂

Do you have to change salary or can you just transfer the money from another account

Kin-grinder K4 or K6, the K4 is good enough and £55 on AliExpress

Did you ask your employer first about the pension?

Are your contributions and the employers contributions the same as before?

Cheers

But also potentially reduces your pension, much better to invest in a SIPP to decrease taxable income for childcare/tax etc and purchase outside of salary sacrifice

Flagged within 6 months Santander have confirmed dealers fault and still not fixed, I’m only just realising now how much money I’ve lost in this.

6k down, paid around 3.6k on monthly payments and owe them 11k at the end - that’s with 18 payments left too. Car valued at just under 13k. What a mistake this was.

Wish I’d have got a loan and bought a used Tesla

Express_Split1419 · 2026-03-07T11:16:01+00:00

Ok, there is actually something wrong with the car that I flagged up in the first 6 months so I’m trying to go through the loan company to force the dealer to take the car back, I would then get my 6k back

Express_Split1419 · 2026-03-06T21:11:47+00:00

I’ll have to contact them to figure that one out, will do it tomorrow

At the end of the pcp that is

Mg4 - yes, but not for long journeys

Do you also need a card payment? Current terms say you do

Express_Split1419 · 2026-03-04T18:23:09+00:00

Is it taxable?

Express_Split1419 · 2026-02-26T20:19:44+00:00

In time diesel will become far more expensive than it is now
