Re: Charging to 80%
We also have a Mini Cooper SE and there’s no recommendation to charge that to 80%, which is just as well given it’s only a 33kwh battery! Maybe the amount of battery available to the user is leaving headroom to keep the battery in good nick. Much lower range of course, but the Mini tends to do its ...

Re: Scheduled charging and Hypervolt
There are many posts about this subject in the general chat area. The charge settings need to be configured in the infotainment system and also on the phone app. In summary. Whilst your car is parked at home, you need to set it as a ‘location’ for charging… and call it ‘home’ and save it. In the se...

Re: Tyre damage - opinions?
Tyre side-wall damage like that is super dangerous particular on high speed / hot tyre temperatures. The pictures you show, look to be deep. If you want to avoid a blow-out, with possibility of losing control of the vehicle, or damage to other parts of the car, change it!!!! Also yes, do something t...

Re: Home Charging Scheme Ending
This seems to be a trend in several countries. France is also planning on reducing subsidies (eco bonus) for buying electric. It has postponed twice. However as several manufacturers increase their prices, several will exceed the level to get the eco-bonus. This morning I saw that Tesla had increase...

Re: Delivery time
More bad news on the BBC site this morning.
Re-emergence of COVID has closed factories particularly in the ‘electronics’ centre around Shenzhen. VW are reported to be also hit.
It doesn’t get any better

Re: We id app error
Yes. I am travelling this week but my wife had the problem of the car not charging to the set level. Set to 100% but only charged to 68%. The app says ‘waiting for departure time’. I will have to look at the infotainment system when I get home tonight. Last time this happened, all of the ‘home’ sett...

Re: We Charge Go contract - zero monthly fee
Option for ‘free’ as was said is available for first year via the WeCharge ID3 app. It also offers a monthly plan for those who are doing a lot of on the road charging. The charging fee is reduced compared to the ‘free’ plan. I also subscribed to the Chargemap app. This cost an annual fee of 19 eur...

Re: ID3 vs Megane vs Astra
The price of Aluminium has mushroomed lately, which may have a knock on effect on the Megane's price if it does extensively use aluminium to shave 200kg off the weight vs the ID3. At least with an Aluminium body (unconfirmed), it won't rust like hell like the Renault of old. I will need to be absol...

Re: Driving to London from Leeds
For the underground and also the more rapid Heathrow Express you can access both without airline ticket. The entrance after the arrivals area. You can buy tickets using the machines at the entrance or for Heathrow Express via the internet. However my feeling, is that you will also waste a lot of tim...

Re: ID.3 thoughts after 6 weeks
Great review. Hope the effects of COVID get better.
Maybe just a point on your interior lighting ‘disagreement’ . Isn’t that something that can be set in the driver profile, so when your driving it sets your preferences?

Re: VW announces restriction in models to be produced.
VW UK are currently offering an enhanced Life spec in Pro pertformance/58kWh only for new orders, so they're doing the same thing as the French subsidiary. They are still apparently going to fulfill existing orders to original spec. Just small correction, this is nothing to do with VW France subsid...

Re: Max charge rate between 20-80% ? ID3 Pure Performance
Thank you both. Your real-life experience is valuable. I didn’t stay around to watch how the charge ramped up. I just saw how it was during first 5 minutes. Certainly some stops may have been on the basis of ‘splash and go’ where the battery level may already be high. We were following a ‘journey pl...
