Hi, just registered my interest on line. It only listed 5 or so compatible chargers ( Indra or ohme) and didn’t seem to list compatible cars? Does it only work with specific chargers?

Also, if you need to charge for 8 hours to replenish battery will this all be at 10p?
Here you go re compatible cars and chargers...

Yes I think so if you say you need x% by say 7am tomorrow it should schedule charging times to meet that... that said I haven't read all the small print yet!

Cheers, but looks like I’m out as don’t have the either of the 2 chargers.

On octopus go at 12p for 4 hours and 44p peak which I’m not overly chuffed with! Costing a fortune!

Be interested to hear if anyone else can suggest a switch option?

You don't need one the specified chargers if you have a compatible car. Any dumb charger will work as Kazula software talks directly to the car.

Ah, ok, so could be an option. Did you call them as can’t see how to switch? Also, the normal day rate, 33p is this the capped rate or the actual rate? Can this be seen anywhere?

I just went to their website and filled in the details to get a quote based on my actual gas and electricity usage, alternatively you select size of house... similar to Octopus. Tick the box saying you have or have ordered an EV and it will generate a quote for the Simply Energy variable tariff so subject to cap. You can then continue to fill in details to commence the switch. You cannot add Anytime until they have started supplying you....

Ah, ok, can’t seem to see a box the ev option and went all the way through application process to direct debit stage. Think I will call them as switching to simpler tariff looks more expensive than now..

Interesting that your quote has a different rate and different standing charge to mine. Maybe regional variation? I'm based in South Bucks

Regional variances are def a thing. I’m in Suffolk and when comparing cap rates we seem to be the higher end. Also, maybe the fact your dual fuel and I’m electric only may impact it.

On EDF Energy fixed tariff until end September @ 22.28p/kWh (flat) with 24p daily standing charge. Not fantastic but definitely better than the current deals available.

Forgive me - its such a palaver and usually leads me nowhere - are there any deals for overnight EV charging with current supplier Octopus or any others that don't then stupidly load day rate that, for me, cancels out any saving but adds hassle? Cheers

Yep, OVO Charge Anytime 32.59p/kwh for household use and 10p/kwh for smart charging. This is a type of use tariff rather than time of use so you cannot move your domestic consumption to off peak rate like Octopus Go. I switched on the 15th Feb and it took a couple of days for electricity meter to connect but as soon as it did I was able to connect the OVO Charge Anytime App to my Porsche ID. Has worked pretty well so far but two charges have stopped 3% short of target and it seems the software has sent weird Timer to the car just before it got to desired soc. I spotted it both times before ready by time so was able to manually adjust timer in the My Porsche App to complete charging again but not a big issue in the context of a 69.3% discount and no premium on household rate

Sounds perfect and also unavailable - have registered interest...
It was showing as coming soon when I switched to OVO last week but as soon as I was up and running on their Simpler Energy tariff. I was able to log into both their OVO Energy App and their OVO Charge Anytime App and in the later link it to My Porsche Account.....and get the benefit of the 10p smart charging rate.

Hi, is the amount shown above the amount taken of to make it 10p an kw?
How you getting in with it?
I’ve contacted them but awaiting a few answers to qs.
just to confirm now you are on the tariff, is it 10p for every kw that goes into the car regardless of time? Eg empty battery, plug in at 10am and I can leave charging all day?

Hi, yes the discount shown brings the rate down to 10p/kwh
Works well, one or two minor issues as reported earlier. It dies send what appear to be strange Profiles which appear in the car as "Enode" and Timers but I think I have worked out why it does that.
As long as you set the soc and time required using the the Charge Anytime App it will be 10p/kwh. If you hit the charge now button it will be at 32.59p/kwh. I have manged to avoid any full price charging so far. ...
I sometimes tweak the Timer and Profile in the My Porsche App to make the car call for a charge.
Unless you have solar or a battery it is by far the best deal available
