Is Octopus Intelligent good with solar?

Octopus Intelligent Go: a smart EV tariff that works brilliantly with solar. HOW IT WORKS: 7.5p/kWh overnight (23:30-05:30 guaranteed, plus 'smart slots' throughout the day). 24.5p/kWh daytime. Your car connects to Octopus via their app — it schedules charging to cheapest slots. WITH SOLAR: charge from solar during the day (FREE), top up from cheap overnight rate (7.5p). Combined strategy: £0-£100/yr total EV running cost (vs £1,500-£2,500 petrol). WITH BATTERY: charge battery from 7.5p overnight, use stored energy during expensive daytime (saves 17p/kWh difference). Battery savings: extra £200-£400/yr. ELIGIBLE CARS: Tesla, VW ID range, Hyundai, Kia, BMW, and others with smart charging capability.
