Re: Charger recommendations for Octopus energy

The Enyaq is compatible, so you can get whatever cheap charger you like.
The dumber the better. But Zappi works well for me and worth the few quid extra.
As others have said, it's either/or, not both. Octopus just needs to control one, and it'll control your Enyaq.

Re: SW version 3.6

You might find more info on the VW forums, as they are generally a few months ahead in terms of software updates. I'm on 3.0 with no OTA updates pushed through yet. Not sure they will for older models.

Re: Emergency Cable Release

Had an old Ecotricity charger do this once. Turned the car off, waited, then on again, then could unlock. Didn't need to use the emergency manual override, so can't help the OP, but worth trying that first if there's a next time. I think if everything's working normally now and it's not happened sin...

Re: Adding the Enyaq to Octopus Intelligent

I might be tempted to clear the cache first, then uninstall, before reinstalling. Some apps still find a way of using the old data if it's not been cleared, even with a reinstalled app.

Re: Adding the Enyaq to Octopus Intelligent

Have you removed the old car as a device in the intelligent Octopus app?

Re: How do you stop enyaq auto charging when you plug house charger in.

The most ours has charged at peak before the schedule overrides is around 1kW, or 10 minutes. Usually a lot less. Now, as others have said, I just click stop in the Skoda app after a few seconds, so the peak charge is negligible. The Intelligent Octopus schedule is still somehow set and the detail o...

Re: Electricity Tariffs, any good ones for charging?

Intelligent Octopus. 7.5p between 11:30pm and 05:30am. Daytime rate around the 30p mark. Another vote for Intelligent Octopus. Do the sums (daily standing charge is higher), but it's likely you'll be better off if you charge >35% off-peak, remembering you can do the washing-machine and/or dishwashe...

Re: Roof Bars

All of these things just increase the aerodynamic drag on the car. Drag increases according to the square of the velocity. A car doing a steady 70mph will experience ~36% more drag than one doing a steady 60mph - all other things being equal. And this is exactly the same for ICE and EV. These ICE d...

Re: Roof Bars

We have Thule wing bars on our iv 80 and the additional noise is negligible for us even at motorway speeds. In terms of range, we all know that reducing speed is key with EVs, and that's even more the case with a roof box. We travel at 60-65 mph with just 5-10% reduction in range. If you push over 7...

Re: Adding the Enyaq to Octopus Intelligent

Just wanted to post something positive. I've an Enyaq that's had the 3.0 upgrade and switching from Go Faster to Intelligent Octopus went smoothly. Test charge was easy. No interference with Zappi when set on fast with timer off. 6+ hours at cheap rate. Thanks all for discussion and advice on the to...
