Interesting move by French government - they have increased the subsidy on new electric cars to 7000 € and increased the scrapage bonus , so that the maximum deduction if you are trading in a diesel over 9 years old is 14,000 € . You can get a Zoe for 179€ a month on a 3 year lease.

@@NicolasRaimo There seems to be a move here by the French government to use this crisis to electrify the nation (rather than enrich Tory donors) . French policy has always been to remain prominent worldwide in important industries like aviation, nuclear, oil etc.. Of course priorities have to change. Where I live in Brittany nearly every small village has two EV charging points installed by the state. Where we lag is having innovative suppliers like Octopus. I am on an electric car owner tariff (with Engie) which costs me 0.10€ a kWh (total including standing charge, tax etc..)between 2330 & 0730. The smart meters here are not very smart. However in the last 3 months all my charge has come from the solar panels via my Zappi. Here is a link to the ZOE deal - you will notice that it says 8,000 € deposit - that is mostly covered by the 7,000 € bonus. www.renault.fr/vehicules-electriques/zoe.html?ORIGIN=F6pub-internet&CAMPAIGN=fr-r-t-eleccar-zoe-zoe_filrouge_t-02-2020-ao-oom-disp&dclid=COCcp4yd2-kCFUqoUQodhrEALw

Early next month my 9.6kWp solar array & powerwall 2 will finally be installed after lengthy covid delay. I have been considering octopus energy to export some excess power. I had no idea that it was possible with the right configurations and timing to be paid to use electricity so it's feasible I can charge my battery for free if the weather is not favorable to the solar (should the timing be right). I have like this video to make it easy to find at the point where the install is complete & I have all the paperwork required to set up an account where I can export power. I will also consider an electric vehicle particularly if the rumours about the government introducing a trade-in scheme for old cars towards an electric vehicle are true.

Great video bud, the Ohme cable looks like a great option if u have a non tethered wall box. U mentioned 'if u don't have a Tesla' then the Ohme is a good option. TBH they don't even compare. U can only set a 'start charge' or 'be charged at time' in a Tesla, nowhere near as clever as the Ohme especially as u can import all the data from Octopus to automate the charge during the cheapest times. Tesla may update this in the future but u certainly cannot do that today!

Hey Robert couple of solutions to help, you could get an Ohme type 2 to type 2 cable and slice the end off the plug and wire it into your existing charger either your self as it’s like wiring a plug or using an electrician if your not confident in your abilities to wire electrics. Most plunges normally happen middle of the night it’s only due to lockdown we’ve seen day plunges so might be worth waiting it out, you could also try increase electric use using oven and washing machine to suck out more grid use. If you look at your GO bill your have an average per kWh and if you look on agile bill same again I bet it’s lower on agile

The zappi charger can also charge based on octopus agile prices now though it's rather new and is in more of a soft launch then a proper release currently, as well as being able to use your surplus generation.

If you had solar & a Powerwall, you’d normally use the solar to run your home and charge the Powerwall during the day, than in the evening/night use the Powerwall to run your home (to maximise savings). But is there an easy way for the Powerwall to charge from the grid when the price is negative (is it mainly only negative at night...?) and then any extra solar can be sold back to the grid....so you’re earning both ways rather than trying to maximise the saving or wouldn’t you get paid for the extra since they’re trying to get rid and not buy back.....? Just in the process of designing my own bungalow and I’m considering solar & Powerwall but unsure if the cost vs saving stack up, I think once VTG becomes more standard it will but at the moment I’m unsure......any advice on this also.....?

@NicolasRaimo

There’s some software to handle the powerwall but new solar installs only qualify for what the energy company agrees to pay octopus will current pay 5p per kWh to purchase solar back they also do an Agile buy back where prices vary. Check out the interview I did with octopus CEO where we touched on this.

Good video but you forgot to mention the monthly bill printouts which give you a full half hour graph of costs over the 24hr period / so when you download your paper bill you will find an extra 28/30/31 pages of printouts which show all the expenses as well as the consumption in Kw for the whole day / Have not regretted moving from Go tariff and with my solar my bill is at least just a third of what I would have paid to one of the BIG 6

I wonder how long the payback / benefits would be. Ive only ever seen the potential payback on solar only systems would be. I guess it could be quite varied with the pricing.

Honestly think with agile pricing it means pay back on solar and battery is so long you won’t need them unless you want to me more green or your a SUPER HIGH user

Good video, I'm with octopus on agile. The rolec smart charger also works on this tariff. Evenergy stops and starts depending on the tariff chosen and the maximum p/kwh you have selected.

Thanks for the info, but based on issues i've seen with old rolecs and quality issues my advise personally would be not to have one and go with an ohme, also ohme much more open to warranty tickets etc... due to rolec's business model they pass all cost and issues of warranty repairs to fitter or wholeseller last time i checked

Can you check the link Octopus.Energy/Ohme - does not want to open a page for me. Think it should be octopus.energy/ohme/ Lower case.

Fixed the link in description good spot Dave, Ill let octopus know to fix the link for a redirect also it shouldn't matter on case for a link like that also added ohme direct website www.ohme-ev.com/

Thanks for this. I’m about to launch an EV channel for disabled drivers. Maybe we could have a chat about all this on my channel soon? I’m trying to save money for people who usually have a limited income.

Courtesy of your referral I’m with Octopus on their brilliant Go tariff. For me Go is better because I’ve a Powerwall and solar panels, this mean in the summer I don’t use any power from the grid. In the winter I charge my Powerwall for 5pence per kWh including vat, standing charge is a further 20p per day. I really don’t think I could better that. However if one doesn’t have battery storage the the agile tariff is brilliant providing one uses electricity at the off peak periods. I would highly recommend Octopus energy they are a brilliant company once they’ve got everything up and running, if one opps for their gas tariff as we, I did, then you’ll need the latest smart meter as the previous won’t work with gas.

Thanks so much for using my code that credit we both got not only helps you but seriously helps improve my youtube channel with new equipment and filming plans. I seriously think you should test out agile in winter on windy nights you can see MUCH MUCH lower than 5p per kwh. It may be worth a look in for you even now worse case switch back. There's also an app to control the powerwall based on octopus energy prices

Nicolas Raimo I might do that come winter time. You say there’s an app to control the powerwall? I have the Tesla app but mostly it does it all by itself. Just two options. One is it only charges from solar, the other it will charge from off peak if it thinks it’s necessary based on the weather report and the off peak time that I’ve set.

Hi Colin. I have solar PV and a Powerwall2 and i have found Agile to be better than GO for overall cost... I wonder why we are different in our thinking on this one? I dont get the fit but I do get a set 5.5p/Kwh for solar export . Today was my best day so far with 46kwh generated and 31kwh going to the grid. This month we have been around 97% self powered.. the other 3% was when it was the mega price plunge day and i switched off the solar pv and the Powerwall..
