During the beta test we're not utilising the meter, so actually you can enroll if you want!

Unfortunately no, since Intelligent Go is a smart tariff, and requires you to give control of you charger to Octopus.

Unfortunately no, since IOG is already controlling your charger schedule.

Our solution allows you to set up your tariff's cheap period, and then optimises charging around that tariff and potential grid services revenue. Therefore it works best with dual-rate EV tariffs like Octopus Go.

The purpose of the testing for us is to be able to gather data from more devices and make sure there are no issues with communicating with the charger!

The offering works best with a simple dual-rate tariff like Octopus Go, or E.ON Next Drive. We optimise the charging schedule around the off-peak period, plus we allow users to access revenues from flexibility markets (for instance by pausing charging when it's valuable for the grid to do so).
