I just got this email...

Sorry, I can only copy the text rather than the link as it was an email link to my email address...

It's actually more expensive than my current Octopus-Go tarrif but that expires in August.

May be worth switching to a slightly more expensive one now rather than seeing how much my current one goes in August ?

Although it doesn't mention BMW/MINI ?

I wonder why ?

FYI: Intelligent Octopus now works for Land Rover, VW, Jaguar, Ford and Tesla

When I read into this a couple of months ago it only worked with a very short list of specific chargers. Sounds Like it might be ideal for some but I need my car different times every day so not sure it would suit me.

Edit:

Mini integration went live on the 18th May.

"It's the announcement you've all been waiting for... MINI integration is now live!
Head to 'Manage my EV' to re-select your car and connect your MINI account. This will allow Ohme access to your car's state of charge for more precise charging".
BMW is also included.

That's good news for anyone with a compatible charger......I suspect my BP charger will never be supported.

You never know, Octopus are quite forward thinking in that respect.
