We're fairly similar in terms of usage, We do a few more miles then you (around 8000 per year) and I work from Home most of the time. Up until recently Octopus Agile was working out very cheap however we're having a bad run on prices at the moment so we have jumped to Go Faster. The daytime rate is 14p however we get 5 hours from 20:30 in the evening at 5.5p which is perfect for charging the car and running the washing machine / dishwasher etc. I think that's one of the most useful things about Octopus, being able to change tariffs every 30 days should one not work for you.
We will jump back to Agile in the spring when the unit prices improve as I'm slightly addicted to charging the car for free! The Ohme charger also integrates with both Go and Agile and automatically finds the cheapest times to charge which is very useful. We went down the commando route which worked out much cheaper then podpoint etc.

I signed up for Octopus in the end using Paul M referral link (Due to him making a donation to a charity of my choice). I then went to the Ohme website and ordered the charger at £199 for Octopus customers. Just one question, will the Ohme charger still work if I change energy suppliers at some point in the future? Or is it locked to Octopus? Also is the Ohme charger totally controlled by an app, or is there is manual override button on the charger to initiate a charge if I loose my phone etc?

The Ohme will work with any provider if you change in the future. If you loose your phone then the charger will default to a full charge on the cheapest rate it can. I rarely use the app, we just tend to plug the car in and as if by magic it starts charging then the cheap rate on Go kicks in.
