Hi, just got my Outlander PHEV gx4h in Atlantic grey. Had a standard 16 amp charging point fitted by chargemaster and have started charging the car whenever it needs the juice.
What I don't get is that since both the British Gas and Chargemaster polar charging points require a phone signal and connection all the time they can't be connected to my economy 7 electricity meter and therefore have to be on the standard pipe (yes, I am not an electrician).
My electric supplier is EON and it seems there is either the standard price for electricity any time of day, or the economy 7 price. It would seem then that there's no difference in the cost of overnight charging and using the timer app than there will be during the day or peak times.
Is anyone having a similar experience?
