I've just had the brand new "Octopus Charge" EV charger from Octopus Energy installed - check out the installation process and see it in action for the first time in the real world! The very first Octopus EV Charger. Home Assistant Update: The charger is now supported properly by the Octopus Energy integration by BottlecapDave as of v16.3.0. You get Intelligent Dispatching, bump charge, charge percentage to add, target time, smart charge toggle, and intelligent state entities. Full disclosure: I paid for the charger myself. I was given a small discount by Octopus in return for the promotion in this video but this is not a sponsored video. I approached Octopus as a customer because I wanted to buy this product.

Did you know the basic spec MG4 EV has its own built-in Tesla Autopilot-style cruise control? Called MG Pilot TJA (Traffic Jam Assist) it will keep the car a set distance from the vehicles in front and even control the steering to keep you in your lane. I spend a few minutes in this video driving up and down the M4 to demonstrate how this works and talk about whether it's any good or not.
