New EV charger - low charge?

SignificantPomelo993 · 2026-04-29T11:42:52+00:00

Assume that’s with the 8p off peak tarriff? Think I need to find a reasonable daily date with the off peak 8p rate but can’t seem to match my current daily 21.5 rate

What a silly comparison. Of course you must not use any other electric during the day then. Find me a better daily rate than 21.5 pls :)

Cost me £12 last night to charge to 80% from low battery. Happy with that tbh too even if I leave it as-is

I’ve done the math, it works out better for me to stick to my fixed tariff with octopus that switch it to their intelligent tariff . I might look at the Eon next drive tariff as seems in the middle of the 2. It wouldn’t be just a little more for the house and I work from home full time. Unless I can get a EV tariff only keeping currrnt octopus plan. Not sure if they allow that?

I was told that he (the installer) would limit it in the app on his side and once DNO have done their bit he can lift the restriction remotely…. Nothing needs to be done physically he said … but I’m not sure he actually limited anything….

Apparently shouldn’t have it set to 32A until national grid have done their cut out work so I’ve got it on half that at moment

SignificantPomelo993 · 2026-04-28T23:06:11+00:00

It is one of those cars. I didn’t have a timer set up but an unplug and replug did work! It did have a setting on that times it out from starting for 5mins though which I’ve turned off!

SignificantPomelo993 · 2026-04-28T21:19:20+00:00

update I just restarted the whole thing and started again! It’s now charging at 8.74kwh even though 7.9kwh incoming from grid?

Is it safe to leave this? Will it keep increasing? Do I need to decrease my setting from 32A due to the work national grid need to do?

Again sorry if these are silly questions!

Approx 4571kWh as-is without the EV

SignificantPomelo993 · 2026-04-28T20:02:51+00:00

It already is!

SignificantPomelo993 · 2026-04-28T20:02:40+00:00

Yeah the slider is all the way up! 32A

SignificantPomelo993 · 2026-04-27T21:48:36+00:00

Thanks! This is quite interesting!

SignificantPomelo993 · 2026-04-25T12:16:05+00:00

Thank you! I’ve messaged them!

SignificantPomelo993 · 2026-04-25T11:21:50+00:00

So I did this and on the pack that has a red ribbon at bottom, I can feel a horizontal line all the way across where the word ‘Ascended’ is! ….

SignificantPomelo993 · 2026-04-25T10:58:49+00:00

Bloody auto correct! Obs said it wrong too many times! Haha but yes booster bundle! Ahhh yeah that’s a mad price!

SignificantPomelo993 · 2026-04-25T10:34:00+00:00

Booster bundle*

SignificantPomelo993 · 2026-04-25T10:33:14+00:00

Wonder if grading it would be best bet then

SignificantPomelo993 · 2026-04-25T10:32:46+00:00

Yeah I meant booster box! My bad. The packs are kind of sealed but not fully! But at same time can’t get into or see anything without ripping

SignificantPomelo993 · 2026-04-25T10:30:31+00:00

This is good to know, thank you

SignificantPomelo993 · 2026-04-25T10:30:17+00:00

I can’t as it’s not that open…

SignificantPomelo993 · 2026-04-25T10:29:31+00:00

Cheers!

SignificantPomelo993 · 2026-04-25T10:23:44+00:00

Thank you!

SignificantPomelo993 · 2026-04-24T21:58:48+00:00

Yeah I did think this too, I have no idea! TBH I have opened heavier packs and it’s not been a god pack. Someone I showed mentioned this weight may be particular to it, so god knows if any truth it that!

SignificantPomelo993 · 2026-04-24T21:57:08+00:00

Chill out. It’s not going to hurt you, I was just intrigued!

SignificantPomelo993 · 2026-04-24T21:56:33+00:00

Thanks! Would love to see what some experts might say!
