Hi Everyone,
I’ve recently joined Octopus Go with the cheaper 4 hour nightly rate.
I’m wondering is it best to control the charge times via the Cupra settings & routine, or use the PodPoint charger app?
Does anyone know if there’s a preferred option for the car?
Cheers!

From my standpoint the history of in car charge scheduling thru ID3 to Born has been so poor as reported by owners I have never bothered.
The PodPoint Solo works perfectly on Octopus Go and it's all on the app. I'm not going to fix something that's not broken.

Always use the charger to schedule timings, set the maximum state of charge e.g. 80% normal use, 100% prior to starting a long journey by he car, and leave the charger to do everything else.

I agree, I have a Hypervolt and all is good...

Thanks for the advice everyone it’s much appreciated!
Last night I tried the schedule via the Pod Point app & all seemed fine.
Going to try the car routine & dumb charger mode to see if anything is different.
Interestingly the Pod Point app seems a lot more unstable compared to the Cupra app!
