Re: Intelligent Octopus schedule charging not working!!

I only use IO. I switched around 3 years ago and it has been faultless in that time. IO controls the car. The charger, Podpoint Solo is set to manual. No schedules in the car. The car charge-to level has to be set higher than IO charge-to as I guess if it wasn't the car ultimately would stop chargin...

Re: Introduction

Hi folks, had my V2 since September.

Re: Snail Speed

I'm guessing without knowing what the battery % was but would have thought it may have been only 2% or 3% for 20kM of range depending on your normal driving consumption. Lowest I've been in the Born and ID3s before it is 6% and found that acceleration was restricted. From what Ponk has found your ca...

Re: Charging Subscriptions - New here...

How about a Granny Charger.
I managed for around 10 months with a granny doing 120 miles/week. I had to wait for other building mods before the home charger could be installed. It was flawless.

Re: Octopus charging

I think I'm missing something! If you always charge to 100% is your problem you overun the Off Peak window? I've set my IOGo to complete charging by 11am. That's ok for my normal day is it tends to be PM before I'm using the car. Octopus in that window often choose to charge my car after 9am. As lon...

Re: Octopus charging

I have a Podpoint Solo charger with Octopus IGO. Octopus in my case controls the car not the charger as I understand it. The Octopus app has a message always to say the car battery level must be set higher than the target level in the car so I generally set the car to 90% and the Octoapp to 80%. It ...

Re: 58kW v 59kW?

the 59kW is the minor refresh with the upgraded 12.9" infotainment, illuminated temp / volume controls under the infotainment, and the gear selector moved from the display behind the wheel, to the wheel itself. Having used the old laggy infotainment on the test drive, but having received the n...

58kW v 59kW?

I'm looking at leasing my next Born and wondered if anyone knows what the differences are with models listed as 58kW v those at 59kW?
Other than 1kW the cars seem identical specs???
Help appreciated.

Re: In car range indicator v actual

It's not very accurate at all.
After 4 years of ID3 and Born I mostly look at the battery percentage.

Re: B or D?

Mluisbrown "I've said it before, and I'll say it again: B or D mode MAKE NO DIFFERENCE to efficiency. They are simply modes that determine how the driver controls the speed of the car, nothing more. B mode allows more one-pedal driving, D mode is like a normal car" I think a lot of newer E...
