Re: Price increases.

Just a small comment here. To be honest, when I buy a car, a super sound system is nowhere in my priorities list. I look for comfort, convenience and facilities to drive, and the car's efficiency. I am most unlikely to ever switch on the car's sound system unless I have to wait for someone. Maybe I'...

Re: Forum settings not working for me

Yup - I seem to have set everything correctly. [First time for everything ;-) ]

Forum settings not working for me

FWIW I have the settings set to let me know when there is a reply - but I have never received such a notification. Not too important a problem.

Re: Cost of a refill - recharge

At the present time it is not possible AFAIK to change to a 'better' tariff, even if one was to exist. I am stuck with 16p/kwh - but then I don't yet have an ev. Time to discuss things with my wife ....

Re: Cost of a refill - recharge

Thanks. Yes, I realise the euphemism of 264 miles per charge. I just wanted to make sure I was doing the sums right.

Thanks

Cost of a refill - recharge

I am wondering whether I have worked this out correctly? If I ever managed to buy an ID3, the battery is 58kwh and does (yes, right!) 264 miles. Charging it completely at 16p per 1kwh would cost £9.28-ish. The distance is equivalent to about half a tank of petrol. On my current Ford Focus a half tan...

Re: Delivery time

Hi. The problem with them, apart from distance (not critical) is the lousy colours and small capacity batteries. I am still looking but also very disappointed with the misleading ads regarding availability.

Re: Delivery time

I only joined this forum yesterday but having discovered that the advertised new models labelled 'in stock' are not actually in stock but are only available later next year, it seems to me that my membership f the forum is likely to be short-lived. If one cannot actually buy a car ...... sad :-( reg...

Re: Hello - and one query!

Thank you! Does this 4G connection work from day one - or does it require a paid for Sim card? Please forgive my newbie queries but the whole idea of a car having an apparently independent connection point seems amazing. The YouTube videos make no comment on whether a separate subscription is requir...

Hello - and one query!

I have just joined the forum although I do not yet have an EV. However, the ID3 is currently leading my list of possibles. One query: I have seen and read about (apparent) facilities included on the models but I am not sure how they are updated in real-time. When you are driving, using SatNav, you n...
