Re: Locked out

I suffer with this. I’ve identified it’s when it’s cold outside and the key fob /sensor then fails to work if it’s been on your person outside for a period . I’ve spoken to VW and apparently it’s an issue !
Warm it in your hand for a short period and it will start working .

Re: ID3 service plan cost!

I’m due the first service in a month or so. Is that what people are expected to pay?

Re: Next car after ID.3

I’m very tempted to have a good look at the BYD. Looks a lot of car for the money.

Re: Using Tesla chargers - sharing my experience

Im planning to use the one at Newport next week so will be interesting to see how this goes. Bit sceptical as a first time Tesla charger user, and reading other comments from people’s experiences.

Just doesn’t appear to be an option to remove. Anyone else have success using Hypervolt ?

Re: Octopus not so intelligent

Hoping someone can help. Trying to setup OI for the first time, and I’m hitting a problem straight away. I’m using a Hypervolt charger, but do I need to delete the schedule charge for it to handshake? Weirdly I can amend the schedule but I’m struggling to see how to delete? Has anyone else had simil...

Re: Intelligent Octopus Woes

Many thanks.
Basically those of us on Hypervolt, we have the settings on scheduled charge, plug it in and either stop charging from the car/ app and then let Octopus do the rest!

Re: Intelligent Octopus Woes

I’m having my software updated this week, and the plan is then to jump to IO. I also have a Hypervolt charger so fingers crossed it all works as expected. Is there a guide or basic ‘how to’ somewhere, which I can cast my eye over?

Rang up VW Coventry and they were very helpful. Booked me in the week after next. Will do the update and check battery. Very impressed.

Re: For octopus customers

I see the tracker for electric is now averaging around 22p kWh on Octopus. Unless charging excessively surely this is now better value than GO or possible Intelligent?

New OVo Uk - EV charge tariff

A new challenger to Octopus in the name of OVo Uk. Offers a 10pKwh charge price for charging and the standard 34pkwh at all other times.

Worth a look maybe.

Need some competition so this is welcome.

I’m Hypervolt too and highly recommend. I’m based in the midlands and had mine installed by EVBUG, who I also highly recommend.

Interesting comments. Thanks and keep them coming.
I’ll be honest if I can order a Tesla Y for the same money in six months time it’s for me a no brainer.
