Re: Ohme Charge. Data charges possible

However if it was still plugged you can switch on maximum charging from the app to override the schedule or I suppose you could create one for 100% during the time the preconditioning would happen and turn off the unit cost charging restriction from the app if you needed the range. Yes, just seems ...

Re: Ohme Charge. Data charges possible

If you set the price restriction and nothing else its as good as scheduling 0030 to 0430 on Octopus GO. Just keep an eye out for Cherry's cousin trying to bum a free charge at peak times. 😀 Yeah it dawned on me earlier that with the price restrictions set it doesn’t really make much difference what...

Re: Ohme Charge. Data charges possible

Unfortunately this won’t work properly with the ID3 from what I can tell as it can’t access the car from an API yet! Will be good when it can though. I have queried ID.3 API integration and Ohme told me that it's on the 2022 roadmap but they can't give a time frame. I did ask them if they have an A...

Re: Ohme Charge. Data charges possible

Got my Ohme installed today, it does look smart! I was aware of the potential issue of connectivity in the future before I ordered it but decided it’s probably a non-issue. As others have said, there is nothing to stop other charger manufacturers charging a subscription to enable the smart function...

Re: ID.3 Owner to be.

Thanks for the warm welcome 😀 I bought my Polo 2 days after dealer showrooms were allowed to reopen after the first 2020 lockdown. I got an amazing deal on a late rder cancellation from my local dealer (Johnsons Warrington). I almost got my money back on the purchase price with the px on the ID3. I...

Re: ID.3 Owner to be.

Hi everyone, I've been following the forum for a couple of months so thought it was about time to introduce myself and take the opportunity to say thanks to the many contributing members for all the valuable info and experiences shared. My story so far... I ordered a Life Pro Performance in Moonsto...

Re: Anyone who has a Life trim wishing they had a Family trim?

I ordered a life but added the pack with the camera.

That got the prices close the the family price wise and I did ask about changing my order but would have seriously delayed the order so I didn’t do it.

It was only £30 a month more on my PCP though. For £80 I’d definitely not have done it.

Yes, build week 49 of 2021. Good luck, yours may be on its way and you may be driving it this month!

My other one has a 2022 build week.
Excellent thanks!

Re: Delivery time

I struggle to believe they are part building cars then adding missing parts later (but it’s not impossible). The idea they are fitting parts that are missing chips then taking the parts out of the cars, disassembling them, soldering in missing chips, testing and reassembling then reinstalling the p...

Re: Delivery time

That’s because it is BS. It might be entirely missing a part that uses them such as the headlights (though I doubt it) but they certainly won’t be popping in actual microprocessors that are missing from integrated circuits in parts of the car later. I don’t know why dealers persist with this nonsen...

Re: Delivery time

Had an update that the car is waiting for a semiconductor. I still find it baffling how they can (apparently) have a car sitting for weeks without 1 tiny part missing, then they'll open it all up again and put the magic semiconductor in to make the build complete. The new ETA is mid February, thoug...

The Ohme Home Pro trade prices are below (excluding VAT) 1 Unit - £469 2-9 Units - £439 10-24 Units - £420 25+ Units - £410 Ohme will only supply to someone in the trade (installers and electricians).

Re: How to get a deal for an EV Home Charger. My method!

The grant is only for the installation. It seems that effectively what you have done is negotiate with the installer to knock some margin off what they would make from selling the charger. Ohme aren’t selling me the charger, they are selling it to the installer who is then selling it on to me for R...

Re: How to get a deal for an EV Home Charger. My method!

This is all getting a bit silly. The grant is for the installation it doesn’t really make any difference if the installer is demented and decides to claim less. It only matters if they charge more and instead of an installation paid for by the grant the customer has to chip in. Yes, it is getting s...

Re: Delivery time

Had a call from the dealer late yesterday - car is in the country (Grimsby I believe). They are hoping to get it early next week and handover that weekend (15th Jan) - I ordered at the end of July and have had very similar experiences to everyone on the forum. One quick question - they have offered...
