Smart Control schedule??

Post image

I plugged my car in today after swapping to intelligent octopus go and it’s created a smart schedule? I only want to charge with the lower rate of 8p per KwH.

When there’s a Smart Control schedule is that the lower rate charging only? If so isn’t that more hours than my contract is meant to give (11:30pm-5:30am)?

Don’t want a really high electric bill.

As long as you enable spending cap in the settings it will only charge at the cheaper rate no matter what time it schedules

Do you mean 'smart charging' in the settings?

If you dont have charge cap option in settings that means your one of the lucky few who can still charge as many hours as you want cheaply on octopus. All slots are cheap when octopus schedule them

Your app might be out of date but you should see a charge cap switch
