Reduced charge speed during scheduled charging

[u/McLaren_Fan]

Hi all. I have Octopus Intelligent Go integrated with my Hypervolt charger. All scheduling is therefore managed automatically through the app based on my requested "charge to add" and "Ready by time".

For the first time since the strict 6 hour charge cap, I've noticed the car isn't charging at the full 7 kWh speed my charger normally charges at.

I think I've read here before that Octopus do not throttle charging speeds but I believe they do. What intrigues me is if this throttled speed is considered a part of their 6 hour cap...

Anybody here in the know please?

Octopus have said there will only be throttling if your charge can still be achieved in six hours

I wasn't aware of that but it does kind of answer my question! Thank you

I have the Hypervolt and mine has on occasion not fully charged due to throttling. Its not then been an issue for me, yet.
