In-App Chat Message:
Hello, I need some clarification about the Intelligent Go tariff. I’ve learned that the daytime off-peak rates only apply when my EV is plugged in and actively charging. This wasn’t explained when I joined, nor by the installer or in any paperwork. It seems unfair that if the car is unplugged or fully charged, my home loses access to those cheap daytime slots. Could you confirm why this rule isn’t clearly stated and whether Octopus plans to make the system fairer so household electricity still benefits from the off-peak rate?
Thank you,
Peter
