What is odd is why it is just 3 manufactures, & not all?

Because those brands don’t allow for integration with Octopus via API. If you have an IOG compatible charger (including Ohme once they update the app) then it’s a none-issue, as the charger does the integration.

The 24 hour period runs from midday to midday I understand so this wouldn't happen I guess.

Neither of the EV's we own allow API integration either (Kia & BYD) so why are they not included, along with all the others that are not.🤷‍♀️

This is why I went for a compatible charger.

Car brands that aren't included in the Octopus API integration don't get mentioned because they aren't included in the integration.

BMW, Mini, and Polestar *are* included in the Octopus API integration, and you set your charge requirements via the car's native app. However these apps don't have a built-in feature to stop you from exceeding the 6-hour limit. The workaround is for the Octopus app to warn you if this is likely to happen, and for you to then change your charge target manually.

It's all explained in the Octopus message?
