    For Intelligent, Octopus say they will ask questions about your vehicle and charger so a granny charger might not be sufficient.
    For 'Intelligent' it isn't just questions, you would have to successfully complete a test charge under their control, but for 'Go' I don't see a problem with using a 'granny charger' for a PHEV.

    Look closely at the gas rates you will be paying and consider how much electricity you will be using during “peak” time.

    when I did the maths I would need to be doing a lot of home charging to make the switch worthwhile.

    When was that though? With the current looming increase it’s actually cheaper to fix the electric now. I’m going to see if I can download usage rates and time of day for usage to see how much difference it’ll make. I think it’ll save £2 per charge so that’ll soon add up over a month.
