In theory I can set up my home battery to fill up, charge the EV at night at 7.5p, and export all daily solar panel generation at 15p.
No incentive any more to use surplus solar during the day.That's basically what I'm doing at the moment. Battery dips to around 80% before sun starts adding back to battery during the day. When it gets to 100%, it's all export.
Last night I was pulling down ~20kWh charging both cars and the battery overnight.

It might be old news, but Octopus Energy are now allowing Octopus intelligent go and Octopus Go electricity tariff users to go on the fixed rate export tariff, at 15p / kw for Intelligent octopus users or 8p / kw for Octopus Go users.
Previously you would go onto their 4.1p SEG tariff for export.
Thats means that for me, with the intelligent octopus go tariff, I can purchase electricity at 7.5p/kw between 11:30pm and 5:30am (6h) and export during the day at 15p/kw.

Seems almost wrong...
