Intelligent Octopus Go

Hi

Does anyone in the UK know how to get this to work properly?

I’m having a massive PITA and ongoing conversation with Octopus CS regarding the way that their Ontelligent Go system won’t override the BMW App charging.

I have a BP Pulse home charger, set to charge at any time, 24/7

The iX1 is set to charge “immediately” via the App ( as instructed by Octopus )

The Octopus App shows that they have scheduled three periods overnight to get my car to 100%

Problem is that the car just charges as soon as I plug it in (at 17:05 this afternoon) and doesn’t take any notice of what Octopus are supposed to be doing.

This has been an ongoing problem since I got the iX1 about six weeks ago and I’m thinking of just dropping back to Dumb Octopus Go and sorting it out myself.

I’m not a newbie to charging as we also have an i3, but would like to get the extra 2 hours of cheap electricity overnight, given the larger battery in the iX1.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
