Re: NOTES ON DRIVING AN ID3 ACROSS EUROPE

I didn't answer your question about ambient temperature because ...... well, I'm not real;ly sure I know how to (and it wasn't a factor I took into account)

Re: NOTES ON DRIVING AN ID3 ACROSS EUROPE

Hi Fergus, Good question about miles/kW. Interestingly, to achieve the VW stated 340 miles would require 4.4mi/kW. In reality, I tend to think we can achieve 3.5 on local driving but on a long journey including a chunk of motorway driving, its about 3.2 (which is what we achieved on the journey I de...

NOTES ON DRIVING AN ID3 ACROSS EUROPE

I wrote these notes for my VW garage who were interested in how I got on when I recently went away with my wife for 3 weeks around Europe., in our 6-month-old iD3. I post them here for interest of forum users. I am sure that my approach is not the only way to do it!! NOTES ON DRIVING AN ID3 ACROSS E...

Re: Use of BP Pulse charger with We Charge Plus card

I don't have a Wecharge card (yet) but I am a regular user of BP Pulse. What I can suggest is that its sometimes worth activating the BP Pulse charger as a guest using your debit/credit card. Recently the rates offered to guests have been lower than for users of the app (similarly might apply to WeC...

Re: WeConnectID app

I have never got the app to work for me, it doesn't seem to connect to my car. When I go to Mobile online services in the app, it tells me I don't have any active contracts. What contracts is it referring to? PLEASE CAN SOMEONE ANSWER MY QUESTION, I'll have a go Bob.... When you bought your car the...

Re: Charging failures following recent WeCharge OTA updates

I have a different charger to you, Gwyver, and that also has issues working on "Smart Charge" mode with the iD3. I use an App to control the charger (and I assume you do too?) The workaround they have given me is: 1. Turn the wall charger off "smart charge" mode (using the App). ...

Re: WeConnectID app

I'm on the fence with this App at the moment but assuming that, with so much new(ish) technology it will improve over time - not least as users feed back to the App designers. Its not as good as the App I use with my electric BMW (i3), but then that App has been in use for 5 years or more and I have...

Re: 12 month + club

Today marks my 12 month since order, I was hopeful VW could build me a car. Currently due to ordering a max, I’ve a feeling it will end up being another 6-12 month wait. I'm really sorry to hear your news TE. I ordered my Tour Pro the day after you ordered your iD and was actually a bit miffed to h...

At risk of being dim could someone explain what this means? Is it to do with driver profiles and car keys?

So far he can't identify the discrimina...

Re: Charging schedule being ignored

The schedule function definitely does not work. I now have two e-cars and my BMW follows the schedule, the iD3 does not. Luckily one of my wall chargers is a "smart" one so I simply get the charger to manage the schedule and the iD3's only role is to cut off when it is full at 80 or 90 or ...
