Re: Cold weather is here - range hit
Very interesting. We have had an e208 since January so experienced some chilly weather in it. Being front wheel drive it has traction control issues in any wet weather if you are too heavy on the pedal. This week it has dropped from 4m/kWh (which is about the max you get on it) to 3.4m/kWh and curre...

Re: ID3 impressions (as a family car)
The bad stuff: - Driver screen feels a little small and bare? It's also missing features I'd expect like displaying the wiper setting (when you change it), Sorry, This one's thrown me a bit, what cars have a display on the dash to show you your windscreen wiper settings? We get confirmation message...

Re: Car charging APPS
There'll be WeCharge in the car and you can also get a WeCharge card, but in terms of phone apps Zap-Map is useful to show you where and what type the chargers are. There are a plethora of apps for the various networks of chargers where you create an account with a payment card so you can use their...

Re: Delivery time
The official line from the factory seems to be 26 weeks, so I don’t know where they’ve got almost a year from. I am now being told end of Feb which is 29 weeks up from 22 weeks when I ordered. I suspect even VW aren't clear as it depends on the supply of items they haven't got any control over. Int...

Re: Delivery time
That's the spirit
I am going to pour a large gin and tonic and try and forget the car on order until I see something solid in writing to confirm a delivery date. At that point I will start jumping up and down

Re: Home charger cost effective or not?
There will also be times when you want to do a quick top up at home without paying for a public fast charge somewhere. This has happened to me a few times. Battery at 30% but I suddenly need to do a 100 mile unplanned trip that day. Couple of hours on a 7kWh charger at home can give you a very usefu...

Re: My ID.3 Life story...
I was watching the link provided below when I saw the stats. This chaps reviews are generally spot on, so I was disappointed. https://youtu.be/C0jsCkz_kQo Here’s the bit of the review he talks about the efficiency, but I guess it’s hugely journey and environment dependant. https://i.ibb.co/bNYZSxP/...

Re: EO Mini Pro Charger
I have EO. Nice and compact and trouble free for one year. The so called "smart" app that so many of these chargers come with is pretty basic though and not that smart It allows you to set charge times for your off peak tariffs but there is no way to control how much charge is added in thi...

Re: UK vs Norway............
My other half is Norwegian and even three years ago I was staggered to see 12 Tesla super chargers in the car park of a perfectly average Spar type small super market in the middle of nowhere north east of Bergen. Not even on a main road! Most bus lanes have been open to EV drivers but that may be c...

Re: How many VW/Audi's???
The ICE conversions are all too heavily compromised and the small number of ground-up EV designs are either too expensive or just didn't "gel" with me. Similar story here. We have an e208 which is OK for short trips and city (up to 150 miles at motorway speed in summer) but compromised as...

How many VW/Audi's???
Thinking back, like remembering old girlfriends and boyfriends, I suspect we have all driven a few VW's over the years. Early on I had a string of bangers, then hand-me-down company cars when they were all the rage. At University in the 1970's we used to steal one our our friend's car keys and hide ...

Re: ID.3 U.K. Delivery Times
Ordered in mid August and quoted 20 weeks...then, when I confirmed everything the following week I was told 22 weeks. Its probably 27 weeks now. I wouldn't hold your breath. Basically they don't have a Scooby do. Its all guesswork until they have chip supply issues resolved. I waited 4.5 months for ...
