2. OVO Energy Vehicle-to-Grid Trial
2.1 By accepting this agreement, you agree to participate in the Trial. The Trial will last for the Trial Period, unless it is terminated earlier by you or us in accordance with these terms and conditions.
2.2 You accept that this is a trial offering, and that the purpose of the Trial is to assess the viability of providing flexible grid balancing services from your EV. As such, you accept that your Charger may not operate properly or be fully functional, for which neither we, nor our partners will be liable. (But if any of these arise, we'll try to minimise their impact on you).
2.3 We may change this agreement at any time or stop the Trial (or any part of it). You will be notified 30 days in advance via e-mail or post before we make any changes.
2.4. You may terminate your participation in the Trial at any time in accordance with clause 13.
3. Trial Eligibility
3.1 You will not be eligible for the Trial or allowed to continue to participate unless you meet and comply with the Pre-Installation and Post-Installation Eligibility Criteria (together, the “Trial Eligibility”)
Pre-Installation Eligibility Criteria

(c) your Nissan LEAF battery capacity is 30kWh or greater (if you do not comply with this, it may have implications for your Nissan LEAF warranty, see clause 17.5 for more information);
(d) you own the Property where the Charger will be Installed or you have express permission from the homeowner for an Installation and you have also obtained any necessary permissions from other third parties, including your insurance companies and mortgage providers. We won’t be responsible if we carry out work and you don’t have the necessary permissions. You’ll be responsible for any losses that you or we suffer as a result of you failing to get the right permissions;
(e) your Property is situated in mainland UK;
(f) you receive a Profile Class 1, single rate Supply from OVO Energy;

We do not charge for a Smart Meter installation but if we are unable to install one for any reason, you will not pass Trial Eligibility;
(i) you have a domestic broadband connection with a spare ethernet port and an electrical socket, for us to plug the Charger into. These will both need to be active and stable for our use at all times. Internet data usage will be minimal. If you do not have a spare ethernet port, you may need a 3G/4G dongle to ensure the Charger can connect to the internet. We will supply any such dongle free of charge, if required;
(j) you have a suitable place to install the Charger. A suitable location will require private off-street parking and not require any groundworks. We will confirm further requirements when arranging your Installation.
(k) you understand that if the location does not pass these criteria we may still be able to support the Installation but may have to charge for the additional work. We will always quote in advance for this work and there will be no obligation to proceed;
(l) we will be able to complete the Installation at your Property - full details are set out in clause 5;
(m) if you have On-site Microgeneration, its maximum power output is equal to or below 4kW;
(n) if you have On-site Microgeneration and are on the FiT (Feed In Tariff) register, you have been on the FiT register for more than 12 months; and
(o) if you have On-site Microgeneration, you agree to waive your deemed export payment with your current FiT licensee as you will now be paid on your actual exports by us. You agree to arrange this with your FiT licensee.
3.3 You will only pass the Pre-Installation Eligibility Criteria if we will be able to successfully complete a connection application (G83, G98, G59, G99 or equivalent) with your Distribution Network Operator. This application is a request made to seek permission from your local electricity network provider to install a small electricity generator at the location of your property.
Post-Installation Eligibility Criteria
3.4 You must satisfy the Post-Installation Eligibility Criteria for the duration of the Trial. You will satisfy the Post-Installation Eligibility Criteria if:
(a) we have successfully registered your electricity meter to export electricity to the grid;
(b) you consent, and we are able to switch your OVO Smart Meter to half hourly settlement (for both importing and exporting electricity);
(c) following the Installation, we have registered the Charger as Active and you allow us control of charging and discharging your electric vehicle’s battery;
(d) the Nissan LEAF you use with the Charger has a battery capacity of 30kWh or greater (if you do not comply with this, it may have implications for your Nissan warranty, see clause 17.5 for more information);
(e) you agree to use the Charger as the primary method of charging your electric vehicle for the duration of the Trial;
(f) you agree to use the Kaluza web-app available as part of the Smart Features to control the settings and your vehicle’s charging schedule; and
(g) you will not use the Charger with any other electric vehicle or plug-in hybrid other than the one you have told us will be used for the Trial. You must notify us in advance if you are changing this vehicle. If we aren’t able to support your new vehicle, we may terminate your participation in the Trial.
3.5 Notwithstanding the Trial Eligibility, it is in our absolute discretion whether we sign you up to the Trial.
3.6 If you have an existing chargepoint(s), we will assess whether we can install the Charger unit alongside this/these. If we are unable to do so, we will let you know and give you the option of proceeding, and removing a chargepoint, or withdrawing your participation from the Trial. If you choose to remove an existing chargepoint, we will carry out this work as part of installing your Charger.
4. Charger Trial
4.1 You must remain on supply with OVO Energy for the duration of the Trial or you may be charged for the removal or the cost of your Charger (in addition to any early termination charges for your energy plan). See clauses 11-14 for further information.
4.2. OVO will retain ownership of the V2G Charger for the duration of the Trial. Following successful completion of the Trial, you will keep the Charger and ownership will pass to you.
4.3 Up until 2 calendar months after the end of your Trial Period, if you decide you no longer wish to keep the Charger, please contact [email protected] and we will remove the Charger at no cost. If we don’t hear from you we will assume you wish to keep the Charger. See section 14 for more details.
5. Installation
5.1 We (or our subcontractors) will contact you to arrange the Installation. You agree to allow our Engineers to access your Property to carry out a Survey (if required) and the Installation.

5.3 There may be costs associated with a Survey. If there are, we’ll provide you with a quote beforehand. You’ll be responsible for these costs but aren’t under any obligation to proceed with the Survey - though without one we may not be able to install a Charger.
5.4 Whether we carry out the Installation is subject to the findings of the Survey. At our discretion, we may cancel any Installation date we have given you and/or terminate this agreement based on the findings of the Survey. We’ll let you know if this is the case and we aren’t liable to you in any way if we don’t carry out an Installation for these reasons.
5.5 You must have a suitable space at your Property for us to install the Charger. We must be able to access the electricity meter or main fuse board to install power sensing and control hardware used to instruct the Charger.

5.9 If you can’t make a scheduled appointment and need to re-book it, please contact us at least 24 hours before its scheduled time. If you fail to keep an appointment on more than two occasions, we may charge an additional fee.
5.10 If you cancel your appointment within less than 24 hours of the scheduled time or if you are not available when we arrive at your Property, you will be charged for a failed appointment.
5.11 We aren’t responsible for any losses you incur due to delays to your Installation, however caused. We won’t pay any compensation if we can’t complete an Installation during a scheduled appointment.
5.12 Our Engineers will take reasonable care to carry out the Installation without causing unnecessary damage. We’ll fix any unnecessary damage to your Property that is directly caused by our negligence.
5.13 We won’t start or continue the Installation if we believe there is a health and safety risk to our Engineers, and we won’t return to complete the Installation until that risk is resolved.
5.14 If we are unable to complete the Installation for any reason that is not our fault you may still be liable for reasonable costs we incur.
6. Using the charger

6.4 You must not attempt to (and you will not allow anyone else to) open, repair or replace the Charger at any time.
6.5 If your broadband connection is lost at any point during the Trial, the Charger will lose its Smart Features and you will not be able to export electricity to the grid. As a result, you will not receive the Trial Credits whilst connection is lost. If this occurs, you will still be able to charge your electric vehicle.
6.6 We reserve the right to provide any maintenance services on the Charger, including upgrading, replacing and updating the Charger and software. You agree to grant us and our subcontractors, access to your Property if we need to do this. Whilst we are providing maintenance services, your ability to charge your electric vehicle and/or export to the grid may be affected.
6.7 In the event of any defects arising in the Charger which are caused by faulty design, manufacture or installation, we’ll use reasonable efforts to rectify those, either through repair or replacement at our discretion, provided you have complied with your obligations under these terms and conditions and the defect is not caused by circumstances outside our reasonable control. However, because this is a trial and you are being provided the Charger free of charge (subject to clause 4.2), you acknowledge that the Charger is provided without any warranty or obligation to rectify, and we reserve the right to terminate the Trial and/or remove the Charger in lieu of repairing or replacing the Charger without any liability to you. This does not affect any mandatory rights or remedies you have under consumer law.
6.8 If you have any problems with the Charger you should alert us as soon as possible at [email protected] quoting the serial number, the date of Installation and a brief description of the fault and our support teams will get in touch with you to diagnose the problem and arrange a support visit if necessary.
7. Software
7.1 The Charger uses Kaluza software to function. Kaluza Ltd. or its affiliates own (and will continue to own) the software and firmware and all intellectual property rights associated with the software and firmware.
7.2 The Kaluza software controls the Charger by sending and receiving instructions about when to charge and discharge your vehicle battery. It receives information about when you plug in and unplug your vehicle, the state of charge of your battery and how long it takes to charge. It includes a web-app where you can set your preferences including your charging schedule. Using this data, the Kaluza software makes decisions about charging and discharging which are sent to the Charger.
7.3 From time to time, we may update the software and/or firmware running on your Charger. These updates may be to: ensure your Charger functions correctly; fix any issues that may arise; improve the way your Charger works; add/remove data points that are reported by the device; add/remove further functionality; or for other reasons.
8. Trial credits
8.1 Once the Charger has been Installed, is Active and you have passed all criteria in the Trial Eligibility, you will receive the Trial Credits.
8.2 The Trial Credits will be credited to your OVO Electricity bill, showing as a separate line on your bill. We reserve the right to change, reduce or withdraw the Trial Credits at any point.
8.4 The value of the Trial Credits will depend on the amount of electricity which is exported from your Property to the grid. For more information on your OVO electricity tariff unit, please see your latest electricity bill. For more information about pricing for the Trial Credits, please see our pricing table for more information.
8.5 If you are a customer with On-site Microgeneration at home then your bonus rate for your Trial Credits will be different to customers without On-site Microgeneration. For more information please see our pricing table for more information.
8.6 You will see an itemised line in your monthly bill relating to your Trial Credits.
8.7 If at any point during the Trial, your OVO Smart Meter loses communications with us and we cannot receive half hourly readings from your meter, we may stop your Charger from exporting from your vehicle battery and your Trial Credits will cease until the issue is rectified. We will give you 30 days notice before we cease your Trial Credits and will contact you to arrange payment in lieu of the Trial Credits.
8.8 If at any point during the Trial, you opt-out of half hourly data sharing from your OVO Smart Meter, we will no longer be able to provide you with the Trial services. As a result, you will no longer be eligible to receive the Trial Credits and you will be removed from the Trial. If this is within Trial Period then you may be charged for removal of the Charger in accordance with clause 14.3.
9. Fair usage
9.1 For each calendar month after the Start Date, the number of kWhs you export to the grid from your car must be less than or equal to the number of kWhs you import from the grid through your Charger.
9.2 If you do not comply with clause 9.1, we’ll let you know. We’ll give you 30 days to ensure that the number of kWh exported or less than or equal to those imported. If you do not rectify this within 30 days, we may remove you from the Trial.
9.3 If this occurs on more than one occasion during the Trial Period, we may remove you from the Trial immediately and remove the Charger. You may be charged for the removal of the Charger in accordance with clause 14.3.

11. Switching away from OVO Energy
11.1 If you switch your Supply to a different supplier within your Trial Period, we'll no longer be able to supply you with electricity or control your Charger as part of the Trial. You will therefore lose your Trial Credits and may lose some or all of your Smart Features. You will also be required to grant us or our subcontractors access to remove the Charger prior to you coming off supply with us. We may charge you for the removal in accordance with clause 14.3. We will only pay you the Trial Credits up until we remove your Charger, even if we remove your Charger before the end of your Supply.
11.2 If you switch your Supply to a different supplier after your trial period has finished, OVO will assume you have chosen to take ownership of the V2G charger, unless you request a removal whilst you remain on Supply with OVO, in accordance with clause 14.2.
11.3 If you wish to continue exporting energy to the grid with your new supplier, you will need to contact us by emailing [email protected] 30 days before you change supplier, and we will ensure your device is still able to export.
12. Moving out of your Property
12.1 If you move out of the Property where your Charger is installed, we'll no longer be able to supply you with electricity or control your Charger as part of the Trial. You will therefore lose your Trial Credits and Smart Features. You will need to arrange for the Charger to be removed 30 days prior to your moving out date. We may charge you for the removal in accordance with clause 14.3. We will only pay you the Trial Credits up until we remove your Charger, even if we remove your Charger before you move.
