Charging with octopus in the UK

I'm on day 2 of owning my i5 saloon and I tried to charge it last night but Octopus failed for unspecified reasons. It just didn't charge, was just saying "preparing your juice" and did nothing. I have an Andersen A3 charger and on Octopus Intelligent Go tariff, I've had a discussion with Octopus today who are trying to help and I have now turned off Smart Charging in the Octopus App and leaving it to be governed by the car but this effectively means that I'm stuck with setting up a schedule in the car and missing our on cheap rates other than at night. Anyone else in the same position?

My wife has a Mercedes EQA (only for a week though) which seems to work ok with smart charge but I don't want to have to change settings etc depending upon which car is plugged in.

This is my first experience with any EV's so be gentle please!

Saloon boot liner

I'm picking up my i5 saloon on Friday and I'm looking for a boot liner to keep it clean when I put my golf clubs in, found a few mats but nothing to cover the sides. Anyone found one? I'm in the UK.
