Re: New Born owner here saying hello *Wave*

Can I just ask, why you didn’t put the charger further back along the wall? Wouldn’t need drape it over the car no matter which way around you parked. I have to agree. I'm pretty pernickety about hand-washing the car, but I would expect most people would balk at draping a heavy cable over the car's...

If you look at the first forum page you will find an enormous thread about it. ;)

Re: Headlight Range Control

The owners' manual references this as an automatic adjustment at startup, based on the load.
I've never seen the message myself, but if it only happens once I'd treat it as a software glitch. If it keeps happening , check with your dealer.

Re: Ohme Pro/ Intelligent Octopus

Big downside of this, of course, is that with Intelligent Octopus you are missing out on the cheap daytime slots which, as well as charging the car during the day, reduce your overall household rate during these periods too! Over November I more or less stopped charging overnight and have been gett...

Re: Intelligent Octopus and Cupra

So had my Born V2 since June, love it. Got an Ohme Home Pro and on IOG…..not so in love. Everything is setup as per the guidance so I think all is good - one routine in Ohme, no price cap set, no routines set in car, etc. However, it recently seems to always charge immediately and whilst the Ohme C...

Re: Intelligent Octopus and Cupra

My inner accountant can't quite reconcile being charged off peak rates in peak times, but I'll trust the process until the loophole closes, like you say! Here's a screenshot from the .pdf of my last IO Go bill. The red line is the tariff rate, and you can see that it drops from peak to off-peak dur...

Re: Intelligent Octopus and Cupra

I will document this for the sake of completeness. I finally had a successful overnight session with IO Go. I plugged the car in during the afternoon. Charging started immediately so I stopped it using the Cupra app. IO Go later set a charging plan (59% - 80%) for three sessions during the off-peak ...

Re: Intelligent Octopus and Cupra

I really wish I could understand what IO Go is doing. Yesterday, I plugged the car in and set the Cupra routine to "preferred times" i.e. overnight, and Octopus set two charging periods, 02:00 - 02:30 and 03:00 - 03:30. None of these charges occurred. Then, the car started charging at 08:0...
