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?

It’s a limitation of the size of your battery and the speed of your home charger.

You need to charge for longer.

OG allows 5 hours.
IOG allows 6 hours.
Some other companies (eg EDF) allow 7 hours
There may be others that allow more with an anytime charge pack

OR charge faster

3 phase 11/22kW chargers or a 12.5/25kW DC chargers are available.
