EDF EV Tariffs - Smart Charging Bolt On available for Zappi & Hypervolt 3

Got an email yesterday about signing up to the EDF EV tariff smart charging bolt on as it is now available for zappi and Hypervolt home 3 pro EVSE in addition to the existing list of compatible cars.

Integration to my zappi didn't work when following the email link - got stuck in the integration authentication step for sone reason, possibly browser quirks.

However, worked very smoothly when using the button in the EDF app which had appeared since I last logged in.

Removed the zappi Gridpay integration (Axle Energy) in the myenergi account in case of conflicts  -  note you can only do that through the myenergi website not the myenergi app.

EDF are offering an extra £10 bonus for adding the bolt on before 19 Dec.

Plugged car in, schedule was created as multiple time slots including some times outwith the standard 12-5am off peak window and charged overnight as expected.

Observations (1) with EVSE integration the max top up you can set is 90% of car battery capacity, if you have a PHEV that may mean you might not get to 100% charge if you have a very low SoC when you plug in - guess you could say you had a different car with larger battery when you set it up (2) not sure if they account for charging losses in their top up calcs when generating the schedule.
