Why don't they get it working with pod point. It's a smart charger that works over net it turn charging on or off on command.

It's by far the most numerous charger surely.Every EV on my road has a pod point charger it's the one I see most frequently attached to houses.

The pod point chargers could easily be made to work but podpoint is owned by EDF so maybe they won't allow it. Or octopus don't want to because of this ?

Octopus want to do more than just turn the charging point on and off, they want to read the SoC (and possibly other stuff too).

You must be able to get state of charge / level communication between car and charger to some degree surely ?

They may very well want it but I thought this was primarily about balancing load / demand for car charging. So can be turned off / on as required.

This can be done easily with Pid Points which must be the most numerous charge points installed domestically at present in UK.
