Hi, all.
Our Octopus Go tariff has recently been changed to 'Intelligent' Go, we have an 8.5 GE battery storage, 14 panel solar array and a Tesla Model Y. I've managed to set up the car to charge on the new tariff, but I'm not sure what I need to do with the Givenergy settings to benefit from the smart charging schedules. ATM I just charge the GE battery overnight at the off peak rate and dishcarge throughout the day. This time of the year the 8.5kW battery has normally run out by about teatime. Thanks

Ill let others cover more flexible alternative options

But if you don't need to charge the car outside of the 11:30 to 5:30 and you pretty much cover your daily needs with the battery and solar then simple solution is to tell Octopus app that either your car or charger depending on what you have linked to the account has to be completed by 5:30.

If you really want to take as much as possible and use overlap charging then this wont work and you will need to use middleware as such
