Good question. Two main reasons, one was that we'd saved up to settle the final PCP payment, but Nissan having discontinued the larger battery versions pending the Leaf revamp, the value has sunk rapidly, so we'd be effectively overpaying Nissan Finance. Secondly, the appeal of he Leaf when we firs...

Recently found this forum and having read so much useful stuff I have just registered. Just got an order underway for a new ID.3 Pro S Match 77kWh (we nearly didn't because of the loss of a rear seat, until we counted up less than 5 times of having 3 on the back seat in the last 3 years). We are ch...

I hadn't found the 'preferred time' in the app before, but having found it now, I have the same thing. The app is displaying the preferred time in GMT! For me, it doesn't really matter as the car charges correctly at the time I set in the infotainment system and it can't be changed in the app anywa...

So nobody else has this issue?

I posted this over on Speakev but not had much interest: Since the last time I charged the car there has been an update to the IOS app. Now when I set a preferred charge timer in the car, it’s showing 1 hour earlier in the app. Anyone seen this behaviour before, or is it just another VW programming ...

Don’t know whether anyone has mentioned this or not, but don’t forget that VW can actually build cars that don’t fall apart. They may not be up there with Tesla as far as the tech is concerned (but getting a lot better) but I would rather have the build quality of VW over most others.

Anyone know the procedure for deleting all my data, we connect, satnav, etc. when selling my ID3 please? Had a search through the forums, on -line, and the printed handbook without finding any instructions. Anyone done this before and remember the instructions? Just done the same. All I did was to ...

I wonder how long it will take to reach the UK?

My thoughts are that the structure of taxation needs to adjusted. We had a Fiesta 1.0ltr petrol and it is zero for taxation. I can not help but think to tax that less than a BEV just doesn't make any sense. The same goes for 'luxury'. A battery costs £££ and we are lugging it around rather than imm...

Hi all, So today I did a full run from 100% to see what the battery degradation might be, and was pretty interesting seeing how energy was used over time. For background, July 2022 car with 25,500 miles, I believe 2.4 software, 2 of us in the car, 8°C on average, running in Eco mode and B on the dr...

...last one means your car is connected to an ac-charger (wallbox or whatever), charging is done, but with a programmed departure time for preheating. So to answer your question, yes but only if a departure time is set and the temperatures are in the right range. On 3.0 or later. ... So logical. Th...

Anyone know what it should be for a December 2023 77kWh ID3?
TIA

Just to add to the fact that VW don’t even understand their models themselves. I searched Autotrader for a certain new model of ID3 and it returned 2 which seemed of interest (I.e. cheaper than most). When my local dealer followed this up, VW told them they had been advertised incorrectly. Weren’t t...

I don't think it exists, the Launch Edition 4 is/was the 77 kwh version. That’s what I thought. But I have been talking with a VW dealer and he reckons he has one. Just shows what they actually know about their own marque. Ask him to just send you pics of the car showing you what it has. It might a...

Has anyone got a Launch Edition 3 with a 77kWh battery? Or does it not exist? TIA I don't think it exists, the Launch Edition 4 is/was the 77 kwh version. That’s what I thought.

Genuine VW Granny Charger 3 pin UK plug Used a handful of times before home charger was installed. Does £80 inc postage sound fair? Think they are about £220 new from VW. Open to offers though. Are you getting another EV? If so, why don’t you keep it? Good question! Hyundai supply their Ioniqs with...

I was once out in light fog and you could see the beams dancing away. It was strange seeing the left light illuminating the right side and vice versa. I stick it on auto and let them do what they do. I get flashed, I accept that it may be annoying for others, but they will have to accept that there...
