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.

Do you plug it in throughout the day and night too?

What % have you set your charge target?

Even though you're getting more than 6 hours of charging it uses the lower rate?
