@dcuthbert I presume you've watched 'I am Martin Parr'. It's on iPlayer and is a fitting watch/rewatch

Well that’s a kicker. Martin Parr dies aged 73 His amazing anthropological gaze and ability to capture social customs, quirks, and subtle absurdities of British and Western life with such detail was inspiring to say the least. bbc.com/news/articles/…

@agile_phil @sarah_go_green @OctopusEnergy Is this 6 hours of charging or 12 charging slots? The two are not the same thing, but seem to be used interchangeably in octopus discussions. (Octopus may choose to charge for only part of a 30 minute slot)

@sarah_go_green @OctopusEnergy Hi Sarah, yep you’ve got it. Just on that last point if you’ve already done 6 hours charging and then more happens during the off-peak period even though the house still has the low rate the car charging will be at the boost rate.

Just had the email from @OctopusEnergy about the changes to Intelligent Go. SO if you plug in your EV and more than 6 hours are needed for charging the additional hours in that schedule will be at peak rate BUT will 11.30pm to 5.30am still always be at the 7p per kWh rate? So if you get an afternoon slot plus staggered throughout evening into the peak rate and say that totals 10 hours how do you know what part is charged at boost price and what's offpeak price? The email says the whole house will still get the 6 hours of offpeak but is that regardless of what the EVs doing? I'm trying to work out how you'll know what's definatly boost price and what's offpeak. I think if i struggle to work that out from the email others will too 🤣

@OctopusEnergy @forduk I would also suggest that 'it all counts, even EV charging and heatpumps' right up on top is likely to mislead. You need to add (excluding intelligent octopus customers)

@OctopusEnergy @forduk The EV owners in Intelligent Octopus are some of the biggest power shifters. I understand that you want the ability to manage the cars for the grid still, but excluding general household usage and providing a small credit if your car is plugged in is disappointing

@AllOneHumanRace @OctopusEnergy The current (funded) projects were preferred shares with a 6% rate of return for 3 years, and a commitment to buy back the shares for their original value after 3 years by Octopus. More risky than an FSCS savings account for sure. New projects will have their own projected return

@OctopusEnergy As this is a risky investment, if these projects succeed, what is the projected total annual return you forecast, and how many years to get there?

@_VN5 @OctopusEnergy @RippleEnergy @g__j Ripple have certainly made that argument and lobbied for a change in tax rules. I've already got solar on my roof though, which was likely a much better investment, but the roof is full now

@thewishy @OctopusEnergy @RippleEnergy Here's where projects like this fall over. If I put solar panels on my house, I do not pay tax on the savings. Yet this is the opposite, I buy a part of a solar park, I pay tax on that generation. CC: @g__j

@_VN5 @OctopusEnergy @RippleEnergy The FAQ just says you should speak to your tax advisor. Which is one of the problems with this and ripple. You're kind of going for retail first time investors, the cost of a tax advisor would take out anything anybody is likely to save, particularly vs fixed rate bonds

@_VN5 @OctopusEnergy @RippleEnergy Depending on your income and other savings/investments, one may be preferable over the other. Eg if you've already used your savings allowance, this being paid as dividend would have a different allowance before income tax

@_uc3d @geerlingguy I was kinda thinking back to the PS3 getting hacked because they removed Linux. And the barrier to entry (Secure boot loaders, eFuses, etc) is much, much lower on a Bambu printer.

Bambu's firmware shenanigans are making me rethink ever recommending one again. They have to backtrack on it, or lose the goodwill of the 3DP community that is "open source but willing to give on value sometimes", which is not an insignificant sector.

@TeslaOwnersUK @superchargeinfo At what point are we going to need the satnav to guide us to an available charger?... (And hopefully get the right hand chargeport crowd arranged to minimise blocking)

@OctopusElectro Sure, done! Simple pictures of a random car by a charger seemed to get published quickly. More useful content like signs on chargers detailing when they could be used, or photos suggesting access is limited on market day haven't gone up
