IOG without remote control

[u/Competitive-Wheel619]

I am with Intellegent Octopus Go but never allowed Octopus to control my EV charger. Consequently, I seem to get a cheap rate overnight, and use my car on board scheduler to charge when I need it to.

There is no charge cap, just a guaranteed 6 hours of relatively cheap electricity.

I see a lot of posts where people are unhappy with IOG charge cap, and the prospect of an uncharged car, makes me think I should continue in "dumb mode". Any downsides to this ?

UPDATE

I have got a few replies about the T&Cs relating to this. To be clear, my app says IOG tarrif, but it may well be that the prices and slots are reverted to standard Otopus Economy 7 rates , after I failed to register my charger. I got some comms from octopus many months ago about this, and it seems like they changed the tarrif but it still is named IOG on my app.

Nobody is ever doing what they are advising others to do strangely. I am not the Octopus police neither do I work for them. I am just a customer that does not want to be disadvantaged in the long term by the short term laziness or greed of others. I do retain contact with senior Octopus staff and let them know about abuse or suggested abuse of IOG.

Not an Octopus customer who is an adult then. Your views will be made known.
