Re: Time to charge
I’m charging from a three pin plug. I’m a little confused by the app and the synchronising. The charging unit says it’s charging but the app doesn’t seem to be showing that it is… Do I need to be doing something specific on the app? I’m finding the app isn’t updating very well on iOS. If the app wa...

Re: Don’t buy an Ohme Charger
I’ve been asked to start using the API again while they investigate the issue. I’m gonna be for some pretty random charge session outcomes I reckon. Then again it will probably behave flawlessly now it’s being watched. I’ve put it on charge for tonight and I’m actually willing it to go wrong so I sh...

Re: Don’t buy an Ohme Charger
Ohme emailed me to apologise for closing the support ticket without checking with me first and have reopened it. It being escalated up so there is hope after all. I feel a bit bad about this thread and the snotty response I gave to the email yesterday but I was really very unimpressed! Fingers cross...

Re: Don’t buy an Ohme Charger
This is interesting. I have an Ohme Pro sat by my desk waiting to be installed next week. We'll (probably) be getting a Cupra Born, so I guess that most of the info here is relevant. One question for people - mine has support for a "load balancing" sensor, which can monitor the overall ho...

Re: Don’t buy an Ohme Charger
The other night I just wanted to charge from 65% to 80%, as I have the Tour we are talking somewhere in the region of 11.5 kWh. So it was simple to charge that amount in the 4 hour window you would think. No the Ohme only managed 7.3 kWh in that time and this is how it delivered this. kW Start End ...

Re: Don’t buy an Ohme Charger
I've had similar unreliable experience as the OP with an Ohme Home Pro. I had some initial problems but managed to find a specific set of settings that worked reliably until they updated the app to allow API integration (note, I have never connected ot to my car's API.) Since that update it only wo...

Re: Don’t buy an Ohme Charger
It does seem from other posts on the forum that’s it’s the Home Pro that others are having trouble with. It might well turn out there is some fault with the car and it’s not the charger, but over a month to respond to a support ticket and then to just close it because the last charge worked is blood...

Don’t buy an Ohme Charger
Rant alert! Don’t buy an Ohme charger if you have or are buying an ID.3. I’m a bit annoyed right now and perhaps shouldn’t be posting until I’ve had time to reflect but…. save yourself from their useless customer service. Buy a pod point or a dumb charger with a timer, anything else but DON’T by an ...

Re: Intermittent charging fault
Forgot to say in my last post that I think I'd caught the 'select Reduced AC charge' when stopping the previous charge from within the car, the two selectors are close together. I’ve never selected that setting and it isn’t turned on, thanks for the suggestion though. It’s bound to come up but I do...

Intermittent charging fault
As some of the regulars here will already know, I’ve been having problems with my car charging overnight on my Ohme where it sometimes only charges at 3.7 kWh. I was pretty convinced it was a problem with the charger because I could pause and resume an affected charge and it would jump straight to 7...

Re: For those with Ohme charger.
When this change was announced (email received March 10), I was eager to get going with it, so that the charger would have car-verified data about charge state instead of assuming 0% start 100% finished. But the Ohme app stubornly refused to accept my VW login. I told Ohme, got an immediate automat...

Re: Solar Panels
Yes, it’s odd how people rush down the road of payback when that wasn’t one of my primary concerns. I've been pondering solar for a while, and the primary reason for installing would be environmental. But its a lot of money, so we can't just write it off - we need to be able to recoup much of the i...

Re: Trip to Cornwall from Wilts (inc recommendation for holiday accommodation.
Does anyone know what progress there is with the gridserve hub at Cornwall services in Bodmin? I thought they were supposed to be finished but doesn’t look like it. Going down in May and they’d be in a perfect spot. Think Cornwall is in the early stages, see twitter link. I guess possible by later ...

Re: Octopus Go New Tariffs
I see they have sneaked the day rate up from 30p to 35p. I’m glad I switched a month earlier now. Couldn’t see them keeping at at 30p when the new cap kicked in, it would have been been a bargain (if you can call 30p that) even without an EV.

Re: Direct Comparison to the Cupra Born
Last Saturday I popped up to Kirkcaldy to have a look at the Cupra Born in the metal as they have their demonstrator car and a showroom car now in. For comparison purposes it was handy their demo was white, the same as my ID.3. Side by side lets you get a decent comparison where you can see both th...
