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...

Re: Rebirth

I still get around upper 3s or low 4s. I don't use AC in winter and in 4 years of EV ownership I dress to be warm at around 16C. I only use heating normally to keep the windscreen clear and perhaps cracked windows open to change the air a little which reduced the cabin humidity. It sounds extreme bu...

Re: Hot Weather and Radio/Sensor function.

It reached 32C here in Essex and much cooler now. Nothing like you describe on mine and it's seen 34C in the last mini heat wave without problems. I had one worry yesterday that I can't explain though. Twice I went to accelerate after coasting and there was nothing. It took a few seconds to realise ...

Re: Rebirth

In the Summer I regularly see upper 200s. Never hit 300 though. I did a 28 mile run today that came up as 4.9 miles/kW and if you project that out it's 4.9 x 58 thats 284 miles.
My long term average never reset over 2 years, 2 Winters 2 Summers is 4.2, 243 average range.
More than happy with that.

Re: Click sound from rear wheels

Hi all, We've had this same problem with our Born but finally discovered that there is Cupra TPI: TPI 2067682/5 After fobbing us off with the problem being 'a stick stuck somewhere', we went into the dealer and finally got them to reveal the root of the problem. The clicking noise is due to play in...

Re: Intelligent Octopus schedule charging not working!!

What is it you are paying £35/month for? I believe you can just turn scheduled charging OFF in the app and then control the charge via your home charger at the IO rate/kW. £35 is the monthly electricity bill. We have solar and batteries and an environmentally friendly home. Can’t find a way to turn...
