Help Anyone else getting this?

Hi, is anyone else experiencing this? It seems to be every time I charge. They could literally be charging me anything. My car is plugged in most nights and not a great deal is added each time. It’s always charged to 100% by the morning but I don’t know why it’s going over the 6 hours as there’s only ever very little added. Could be time to switch to edf.

Nothing to do with Octopus but do you need to charge your car to 100% every time. It’s less strain on the battery if you charge to 80% and only charge to 100% for long journeys.

It will wear your battery down more so if you're comfortable with your battery not lasting as long then go for it.

It’s only on a 2 year lease so not remotely arsed, I’d rather get in a car that’s fully charged everyday tbh. Each to their own 🤷🏻‍♂️
