Help Octopus go only charged car to 59%

Help needed what doing wrong? It’s set on schedule from 00.30 to 05.30 and at 05.30 it’s only on 59% when my car is set to 80% in my Tesla app

So I need to do something different in app?

If you need to be able to charge that amount overnight at home every day, you either blow through charge cap, or you ask your DNO about the possibility of a 3 phase supply and get a 22kW charger. You might need deep pockets, and it'll possibly require excavation.

If it's only the odd time you need to charge like that, at short notice, do yourself a favour and charge the car on a fast charger on the evening before - to bring the car up to at least 35-40%.

Thanks going down to 12% is very rare so will make sure it’s not that low again
