Interesting!
I'm on the UK Intelligent Octopus Go tariff, which I use for my Tesla–a rental car that I'm using until my Macan 4 Electric arrives in January. The Intelligent Octopus Go tariff works really well with the Tesla, and costs around £0.07 per KWh.
I spoke to Andersen yesterday, who confirmed that their chargers would not be Octopus Intelligent Go integrated anytime soon. However, they told me that I could still use their A3 charger with the Macan 4 EV with Octopus Intelligent Go (and benefit from the low EV rate), but that I wouldn't be able to use their charger app (which is fine by me). They said that I could manage charging from the Macan, but @Salmonfisher's post casts doubts on this. I'd hate to get this great-looking charger installed and then find that I'm not able to get the £0.07 per KWh rate.

Do any other contributors have experience of using an Andersen A3 charger on the Intelligent Octopus Go tariff with their Macan EV? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Also, interested in this. The only option with intelligent seems to be Hypervolt, Zapi and Ohme chargers if Porsche/Macan isn't approved with them yet. Personally, I would prefer Simpson & Partners or Andersen. Suppose end of day all give same output at 7kw but rather get a better looking one!
