Can anyone report on whether the Elroq works with Octopus Energy's Intelligent Go charging tariff?
If so what charger make and model do you have?
Octopus Intelligent Go
The Elroq is not currently supported by Octopus. You will need to use the charger as the device linked to IOG not the car.
I have yet to take delivery of my Elroq and have asked the same question on other forums. The answer is not clear with many having no issues but others having no end of problems. There doesn’t seem to be one setup that will work faultlessly…
For some it seems that the car doesn’t like to be repeatedly polled for charge level etc. and times out before all charging slots are used (leaving you short of charge). Skoda have a 12v battery protection system that limits polling to around three attempts in between charging (even from the MySkoda app.
There are workarounds if you search around but basically either plump for the standard Octopus Go until the car is supported (be aware that Skoda withdrew permission for Octopus to access their servers). Or make your charger dumb and set the schedules in car (set IOG smart charging to off) to match the off peak hours of whatever provider you go with.
There is a good facebook group that has some great information on all aspects of the Elroq
