Correct - if you want to use Ionity via Electroverse…

Yes. Works for me. Used it in the UK in the summer and in France on October. Took me too attempts to get the certificate registered in the app - but I think I wasn’t folllowing the Electroverse instructions correctly. Where people have had issues is that it seems you can’t have two accounts accessin...

Might be a silly question - does efficiency Get worse in winter? Mine was Delivered in august and I got regularly >4.4mpkWh, now can’t get north of 3.5. And I don’t use the heaters …. Yes - as well as extra draw from the heater, the batteries are far less efficient in colder temps. I get (my third ...

IMG_9637.jpeg Here’s my best - from October at a V2 Tesla SUC. The Tesla app was showing 5-10kw higher than the car showed (this chart). All about a warm battery and starting at a low SOC. I could probably get a bit faster than this with a lower SOC and using a V3 or better charger as these are lim...

Yeah it does that I’m afraid. Despite being told - and having had several app updates since first identified it persists…

Problem is (and its a problem for ALL legacy manufacturers and their customers) that the dealers and thus servicers are not directly under VW (or other mfr) control.. So you can easily get a good one and a bad one a few miles apart.. Saw a couple of articles flagged on speakEV last week where legacy...

I believe you can move one of the fuses and it makes the boot 12v be on permanently. Was on the Facebook Id group and there are a couple of YouTube vids about it I think…

Call up VW assist and they should arrange a hire car for you. Esp if it’s been ‘recovered’ to a dealer.

Interestingly I was rung by the selling dealer to see if I was interested in trading mine in for a new one. I’m not - but I wonder if they’re having some problems shifting them at the moment. Or if there’s a sales target deadline coming up…

Preheat battery button / option.

No need for the en route to charger pre heating - just give us a button/switch on the screen.

I switched to EEVEE
It seems to do everything Tronity does but much better. And it’s free.

I recommend it.

I have a smart charger from the days before intelligent octopus. Now it’s pretty much used as a dumb charger socket. I’d be tempted just to get a simple socket/dumb charger if you can find one!

Yes it’s simpler on 3.2. TA is automatically engaged when you press set or resume (res) if you had it on previously. If you want TA off you press the TA button.

It removes one button press (having to press set then TA). Btw - TA seems noticeably better on 3.2. Less jerky - much better in sidewinds.

Mines gone up 50% (renewed in July).

All insurance has gone up (inflation in all aspects of car repairs). Also some rumours that the high cost of EV repairs (esp Tesla’s?) has driven up EV quotes. But I’ve no hard evidence.

Mine is less noticable (doesnt happen all the time) now temps have dropped...

A different (but complimentary explanation) the app screen STILL sometimes thinks the output from the car is in km and converts it to miles (divided by 1.6) so I suspect if you get in the car you’ll have 180 or so miles of range.

Phone up VW assist and see if they can find you an earlier appointment at a different centre. 6 months without a car or with a malfunctioning car is clearly not on.

To not be capable of OTA updates. That would have solved so much grief and expectation over the years

@sidehaas - yes part of the issue is there is little or no traffic on the peage!
So you can have a high average speed (and not much slipstreaming!) unlike most UK motorways!!

Think it depends on your usage/type of driving. I'm about 50% motorways and my Summer (late april to mid oct) average was 4. For context - Manchester > Sheffield > south of Paris and back (1100miles) a couple of weeks ago was 3.5 in good temps (65mph ish UK and 120kph on the Autoroutes - OK the odd ...
