This sucks I just want to know how I set up a charge from 12 until 1700

Love Tesla, but the internet setup is pretty bad

You mentioned not all homes can accommodate the 22kaW charger, can you point me to the video please

I moved into a house with an elvi and im trying to get it working. I have this app, i can connect via Bluetooth and the charger shows up but theres no option to connect to the wifi. Any ideas why? Thanks.

This charger is amazing - working alongside Intelligent Octopus Go with my Kona EV. I get 7.5p/kWh at any time of day as Octopus communicates the ideal charge times. The app also integrates with my Kona via the API, so it can see the battery status, preheat/cool the car etc. 10/10

Tesla wall connector gen 3 not charge my Fiat 500e car I can't use the same wall that I use for the Tesla...it hooks up for a few minutes, green light, and then comes off after 1-2 minutes. I tried both modes 3 and 2 set by Uconnect, but the same...these are the current values ​​from the WCT app: L1 to N: 228.4V from L1 to Ground: 228.5V From N to Ground: 1.6v Software version 24.4.1 WallBox Gen.3 version Always the same: Green LED on the 500e for 1 minute, then it turns red and the message 'have the charging system checked' appears on the dashboard. Of course, if I charge the Model Y, it works as usual. Anyone had the same problem as me?

Just got one of these. REALLY shocked to see you cant add more than 1 car. that's appalling. The solution from OHME support is "press switch car and feed it all your credentials" for the other manufacturer (every time). Really really short sighted and makes the charger pretty limited in its usecases.

It's been great so far in April 2024, 1.79p/kWh for the car and 10p/kWh for the house. Absolutely agree with everything said in this vid tho, in the long term will take a view on saving vs hassle.

Great video but i agree that you need a battery that has a high cost and limited life span to replace in next 10 years (at another cost) and if you go further to solar panels then again another cost and a year on year derating return from them as their power drops over 15 years (Replace and another cost). I guess we have to do the Sums 6k power vault system and 8k Solar array (if house cam hold them). So at cheapest you pay a upfront cost of 14 to 15K.. Then have to replace it in 10 to 15 years (Maybe a bit longer) Is it worth the loans and and savings spent now for this or wait till it stream lined. What could you do now in this money crisis with 15k now verses worrying about a place where you are living in which in next 15 to 20 years you will move from and start the cycle again? New homes and people moving to last retirement homes makes sense to me. Heat pumps in anything but a new build insulated home makes no sense to me (heat pumps use electricality to work and in colder months they pull on that hard to work for a lower average temp plus the 4 to 15k to install) . Investment verses return depending on circumstances, family, age, renting, if moving in next 3 o 5 years and so may factors. What happened to green hydrogen production and usage? Natural renewable energy changing water in to Hydrogen fuel and when burnt is carbon neutral and emits only water? Low effort and cost to change for all cars, boilers and power stations to use and produce only water vapour from sea water? Seems a big drive to go eclectic to me that had not been well thought out. suspect some of the big companies may want the quicker profits now than then the longer term global change. I am a very big advocate for green energy but building a 10,000 of them off shore (with a great government tax incentive to the companies but high sea / land licence / Royally tax charges) and limited infrastructure to be able to distribute that energy is a issue as it can only go locally. They turn them off because the grid infra can not handle them and we have to pay for their down time at a standard production rate. Brexit and rising tax and prices are seeing the dirty and green energy companies all backing away from investment and actively stopping investment. Electric power UK wide infra has to be increased for these to work or will only supply local demand, Other systems like water pumped up to high land and dropping as hydro power needs to be looked at to take out peek coal fired power stations. All the new north sea oil and gas projects are now being given the go ahead like the Bentley oil fields and new Nuclear rushed plants as there is a realisation after 25 years warning that we need all utilities infra focus (Maybe halted with new government depending on which comes in). (But private companies now own them want profits not wasting on investment unless for profit - New power station is investment is not an immediate profit or requirement for them) Sadly my view for now is we do need immediate nuclear and new gas and oil field nationally owned with refineries to become energy / utilities efficient until we can solve this Green energy blockage on distribution and high licence tax for the plots. Though a long game is being played here with how the energy companies need to keep making money (And out pensions ae linked to it too these also and so change will be slow as no one wants to be poor in retirement). Did you now that we only have one gas and oil refinery in the UK in Scotland and it is set to close as can not compete and refine the oil and gas too make a profit and so everything gets shipped to other countries to refine. Zero benefit to UK bills from UK of shore gas and oil apart from the licensing and tax per barrel (Mind you they are private companies and so not working in UK interest but theirs and share holders.... If it was you how where would you spend your money right now... Bit more seeing where the Gov and people want to go but all are stuck with oil and gas for now and decommissioned power stations now and upcoming. No one will wake tomorrow and be fine with no power or heating (Though many of us just turn it off till necessary to cook or heat but that lovely standing charge raise (that did not drop) makes sure they continue the profit as people suffer with cutting back). But its great going green and seeing the benefits if you have the money to spent on a green electric car, solar panels, Battery Storage, Fuse board upgrade, Electric heat pumps and install the installation to keep warm running in all day at its lower output temperature to keep it constant (And spend more on electric when in cold weather when it needs to boost the heat).

It does restrict solar charging. Which although no deal breaker, it is a shame.

There's no mention of the fact the connection is cellular only, and that's only supported for three years. There's no indication of what they'll then start charging.

so you need to buy a cable for another £240 to properly price this one?

How can you charge your home with a V2G cable lead ?

Do a deal with the devil and you might get a stranger charging up .

21:50 I have cheap rate from 12:30 to 04:30. How to I set a start time?

got an MG4 with the Ohme and just works easy enough, used it a fair few times to charge now and does what I want it to do. Highly recommend.

Just about to order one of these. They look great. Think I'm going to get the EV1i with the more subtle look and charger dock

Hi I have a mg es long range ev Prior to delivery I had a wallbox pulsar plus installed by a local Electrician,This was nearly 2 years ago in the UK In general the best it could be described as is eratic but recently it has become impossible Wallbox introduced a delay to prevent charging at what they consider inappropriate times. If you want to override this you Have to use there app Unfortunately you are the relying on the car communicating with the wallbox and vica versa which in my case it does not and hence does not charge On my app I received an update and on first use i was asked to scan the charger The app stated that this charger was alreaddy linked to an account Firstly I contacted them by email waited 2 days and nothing I then contacted them by phone twice.They had me download the app and reinstall that got me off the phone the second time i was told that the charger was linked to another account and would need proof that it was mine. The fact that it has been stuck on the side of my house for nearly 2 years certainly does not cut it with them. The security on these boxes is excessive to the degree that they become unusable for what essentially is a 7kW wall plug clearly safety is important. these boxes are not actually chargers the charger is in the car and all modern cars can be programmed, hence the need for them to be smart is irrelevant The fact that they are smart means that the regulator can introduce restrictions on these boxes ie half hour delay also the ability to turn off ev wallboxes when required. Currently it is far cheaper to buy electricity for a car through a wall box making it less attractive for the fuel stations to provide for EVs also as more people use EVs the tax on fuel income will be less. The government has made it illegal to install a dumb charger insisting it is for security(can you imagin 1000s of terrorists in little white vans travelling the country attacking our charges)As for power surges if we all use the chargers in our cars it would be far more random than who ever pulls the strings on our wall boxes. One of the biggest surges occurred on Wednesday, 4 July 1990 Electricity demand: 2,800MW - equivalent to 1,120,000 kettles Surely we have come on since then and our power companies can organise themselves better rather than as usual demonize their customers sit on there hands and take the money just like the water companies. So EVs pay lower road tax effectively no fuel tax how will they raise taxation and help the oil companies make money supplying EVs with fuel Yes you have got it combine home smart meter to smart EV charger and you can Tax the electricity used in our EVs and if you are a bit naughty they can turn you off BIG BROTHER is here (hang on to your granny cable they have already started to demonize them on safety grounds)they will probably make them illegal soon) My wallbox is finally working again I found the receipt from my initial purchase and emailed it to them and within seconds they cleared the box allowing me to reinstall the app while customer services were very pleasant and patient they stick rigidly to the law and will not clear your box of an inaccessible account without proof of purchase. Without a receipt they will contact the dead email address (2 day min wait) while you send in pictures of the wall box that must show serial numbers. LESSON Be very wary when changing your phone or/and your email address You wont know you have a problem until you get a update and you need to rescan the wall box The LAW is an Ass even Sir Humphrey Appleton couldnt come up with this one and the minister would not understand the problem. Another point while I'm here the 5 hours at night are cheaper, but the other 19 hours are more expensive than the standard rate Hence you must do your sums

I’ve been on this 2 min survey all afternoon

Hi Danny, I’ve recently bought an IX1 and a Wallbox charging point (compatible with octopus, for now at least) and I’m trying to wrap my head around the charging. If I use my BMW or Wallbox app to set a timer (i.e 23:30-05:30) will this override the octopus app and charge during these times at the lower rate? Also, the octopus app mentions only having one car added as a device, if I am to get another car would I be able to use the Wallbox app and still claim the lower tariff?

Untethered is my choice, damage a tethered cable or plug and a trician is needed, same issue on untethered, go buy another cable on overnight. Just need the correct cable spec for you’re particular charger “rate” 😊

So what happens if i plug in at 7pm with 10% and set it be at 90% by 7am. Lets say that means 8 hours of charging at 7kw, will it charge at peak rates as well, or will it just use whatever cheap rates it can and then present me at 7am with say 70%? Because I i would rather it charged only at the cheap rate even if it means i have only 70%. However as the cheap rates can vary, why should i limit myself to 70% when it might be able to charge more for at off-peak rates

I have an Ohme charger and it's been giving me lots of trouble. And now that Ohme said the log charger (installed less than 9 months ago) shows somew faults, they want me to pay for the replacement. I had it connected it to the car and to the Agile Octopus tariff and saw that it often ignores it and charges the battery to 100% at whatever price. A reboot fixes it, but when I contacted Ohme, they tend to blaming it on the mobile network and on the car manufacturer API. The same mobile network works for the car app and how could an API issue result in the Ohme app showing different battery charge levels on different tabs at the same time? My verdict: Unreliable

hello I can't figure out what is the installer code to modify the app can you help me

I hope it works for the Canoo.

I had an ohme charger installed by a certified electrician who registered it, I live near London, so the mobile network is great and trying to use Octopus Agile tariff. It malfunctions, causes a lot of stress and with any faulty software, a reboot of the charger fixes it. But ohme did not even think of handling this, could be as simple as rebooting and notifying them. So to say the least, I cannot recommend this charger.

Love it

Excellent, clear and easy to understand. How refreshing to see a review in British English, not least of all because it is more reassuring

If I set schedule from 8:00 till 17:00, Can I charge couple cars at this time without any setup or autorization. Idea is for working hours can use everyone.

Hi, I was thinking this tariff would suit a bidirectional charging vehicle. Using it as a battery during peak hours and then recharging it during low cost periods.

I wish the cable was removable. Looks a mess

What's so special about this charger? i don't think it even looks that sophisticated,

Can I set this up and use it without an app or smartphone?

Sounds like you could do with a battery?

You cover the settings in the app where Octopus say the charge limit is set, but, from correspondence with other users, i believe this is incorrect, its not what your car would be charged to (say you set 80%) , its how much it would be added, eg it would add 80% (and thats why it wants to know what car you have). And i think that makes sense because i don't believe a home charger knows what percentage your car is at and if you want to limit the total % you'd set that in your car. So, as this video is 2 months old now, can you confirm that? (background, I'm just getting quotes for solar/battery right now inc from Octopus, and my plan is to go to IO from Go) My charger is compatible, my car isn't but i think in general you are better off doing it via the charger anyway)

why does my immediately charge when I plug it in i wanted to charge from 12:00 am to 7 a.m. at cheaper rate even though I set my car up to default at 12:00 a.m.

Would love an update on this when it is out of beta!

Mine won't link to my Octopus account & is on its way to fucking up my battery as it always seems to charge to 100% even when set to 80%. If this is one of the best home chargers as he said then the bar must be low.

How do you set it up to start after 23.30 as I am on a octopus ev tariff where its cheap from 23.30 to 05.30

Can you control it via the app to stop others from using it ?

Why such a high price? teltocharge also have wooden front and cost less

What a crock of carp! My Porsche only has 11Kw on board charger! It's £4K for an upgrade! I've had 3 phase 100amp supply put in! Yes another £4K Why? Because with current supply network & they have to do site & transform/incoming survey! Where I live typical 25 year Old Midlands private housing estate. Only 1 in 10can have 3phase! So, now I can buy the only 44Kw Home charger on the market from CEF @ £13K! Or have a friend build & install a rectifier at cost & charge from that? Now I live in concrete, gravel or tarmac over your front garden country! Yes every one of the 483 houses has a drive & garage/granny flat! Most have at least 2 regular cars, a weekend car & or an RV! The one reason is car insurance is cheaper it park on your drive! Now say you've got his & her EV's. Whoever gets home First plugs in! Second home has to wait! Wait till when? Well economy 7 starts at 11pm or midnight for 7 hours! So First backs time their charging start to suit. So second home has to wait until 2 or 3am to swap the charger over if not shuffle cars for access! Now third car EV owner (still at home child) is out of luck! Don't forget these are the lucky people! Even luckier are the ones with now concrete 4 car drives & 2charges! Why not go the whole & make them twin point! You all come in at the same sort of time, hook up & job done! Until you wake in the morning to find demand was great than Supply! Oh, dear, what a pity, what a shame never mind!

Looks like some great chargers! 😁😍

Mine was installed per notability just last Friday, four days ago. The engineer downloaded the app to my cell phone but couldn't get it to connect. He told me I could still use the charger by plugging both ends of the cable in and it would automatically switch on. I tried that this evening, and nothing happened. I messaged Ohme for advice but only got an acknowledgement. So I'm unable to charge the car, and as I'm severely disabled I'm effectively trapped in the house. My previous charger, easee was brilliant, just waved a fob at the box and it switched itself on, and off on completion. Ohme, in my limited experience, is rubbish

in malaysia, charging other vehicle with your tesla wall plug will void the warranty. just a gentle reminder to other tesla user out there, do ask your tesla sales rep will enabling the option on your wall plug void the units warranty.

Octopus is far too restrictive with IO. They have refused my wall charger because it is not one of theirs! No response to my queries about this😢

Can’t get on with the app.

Ill save you all 7 minutes! Yes your electric can and WILL be stolen (so many clips of it on youtubve already) unless you pay extra for a security box that locks it away.
