Re: Please help - born won’t charge at home

Same problem hear with a Zappi, worked fine for months now doesn't now its cold. Difficult to diagnose but so far looks like the charger not the car as rebooting / selecting other options seemed to work. Wiggling the cable seemed to work also, concerning. More info needed.

Solar PV, the Born, a Zappi and Octopus Go

Took delivery of our Born in early July and had 4.3 kw of solar PV installed at the same time. Plan was to charge it on PV for half the year. This has been a huge disappointment, almost nothing from the PV so far. The problem is the group buying Solar Together PV thousands went for way under perform...

Re: New car, what network cards/apps

I applied for a free Octopus Electric Universe card and app.
I leave it in the car just in case and although I've not used it yet the concept of using the same card at Shell and many others appeals.

Re: Suspension

Might also be worth checking your tyre pressures, my grounding problem was due to all tyres being around 20 psi, suspect dealer/manufacturer under inflated them.

Re: Improvement points

I'd like to see charging increments of 5% instead of the current 10%, ie 80,85,90,95,100%
Often 90% is not enough for a long trip and I'd rather not go to 100% too often.

12 v socket and tyre pressures

After 4 months of owning my Born it started grounding on a small hump on my drive. I checked the tyre pressures and all 4 were barely over 20 psi, way too low but the Born's tyre pressure alert has never given any indication of a problem. I reckon the dealer had not inflated them much and colder wea...

Picked up my V1 yesterday, impressive but the same problem as others have, the My Cupra App wont link to the car, Dealer tried twice and said the system sometimes does that so try again another day. I've not read all the forum threads yet so am wondering if there is a forum fix that works or if its...

Am still working out where everything is on the menus and the mysteries of getting the sat nav to save and execute new destination on the map but I guess I'm...
