We have GR EV and Batteries.
On octopus intelligent go tariff
We have re onboarded since they have a new BMW interface rather than 3rd party.
But on the first night of scheduled charging only the Car charged.
What settings should I have to enable both to charge at same time?

What type of EV Charger do you have? I have my GivEnergy one set to Grid only mode. However I don’t use the IOG to control the charging. I use a GivEnergy schedule to charge from 23:30 to 05:30. Both car and house battery then charge. I miss out on any Octopus charging outside of those hours which they do sometimes but 6 hours of charging is enough for me.
