Octopus Intelligent Go 6 hour changes being rolled out.

Charge cap enabled this week. So now have to think very carefully given 2 cars to charge. Usually only aim for 10 or 20 top up on mine, but daughters needs more given weekend charging to make sure she has enough for weeks commuting.

I really wish that Octopus would bring back the car charging section (on home page) & update it to show how many actual hours charging you have done, not how long plugged in, given that charging slots change on the fly, knowing how many actual hours on charge with the cap is something you really need to know.

Given this message in OHME app this week.. Not sure how I can end up with less charge than I stated with?

The Charge Cap reached my Ohme charger this week. I've turned it on; with one 30kWh EV in the house it would be a really weird situation where we have any need for more than 6 hours of charging, but better safe than sorry.

Interestingly, the charts in my Octopus app now look slightly different and split out EV charging in a different colour. Like this:

Prior to this change, the bars were entirely purple.
