octopus Intelligent Go & older Andersen EV chargers compatible?

[NYLaw]

Can anyone confirm whether an older Andersen A2 - circa 2022 - is compatible with octopus intelligent go?
Phoned andersen & they said 'no'; phoned Octopus & they said 'yes' but unable to add device (the charger rather than EV) on their app, as it is not recognised by Andersen at log in stage.

Octopus can connect to your car, not tried it since they switched over to another type of Porsche login system.

I have the older Porsche charger which has no Internet connection that I was able to access, so when enabling the Octopus system you have to say you have a different small capacity charger, then say you want to control the car with the app.

Thanks Shug - that's basically what i've just done. But there are benefits to connecting directly to charger as opposed to the car. eg ability to charge 2 cars, ie split the 6hours per day allowance plus other benefits.

Yup, I agree NYLaw.

You can see a list of chargers that are supported in the Octopus app, so if you are renewing, that is definitely a good approach.
