Scottishpower ev optimise advice

Hi all, im trying to get some info on scottishpowers ev optimise and their chat advisors have been useless.

Im getting my ev in a few weeks so looking at chargers and tarrifs currently with SP and they have an offer on at the minute to buy a charger through them and get 6p per kwh on ev optimise. I find their descriptions of they will only charge at the greenest and cheapest times a bit vague though.

My car will rarely be plugged in during the day but will be every night, over night. If I set my charge period as for example 8pm to 7am and I want 80% charge by 6am and it is always plugged in for that period will i only ever pay the 6p per kwh for charging and it will be charged to what I want by 6am every day? Or could they say well there were only 2 hours of cheap and green energy so we are charging you full price for the rest of the charging you needed or there were only 2 hours of charging so we charged you 12p for that but you are only at 60% charge?

Apologies for the essay but I cant think of how to get this question simpler, I've been on chat with an advisor twice and neither time did they understand me at all and I was just getting nowhere
