  1. Mokka-E
    I've got an 11 month old Mokka e Ultimate with 9k on the clock. Ever since the snow in mid December it will only charge to 180 miles at 100%. It's been into 2 different dealerships 3 times now and I've heard every excuse under the sun. Started off with it's the weather... It was colder before...
  2. First Generation Ampera and Volt
    Can someone clear some questions for me? Does anyone know if the battery can be upgraded for more kilometers? For example to replace the old cell with new ones but with more amps. If so is there a site or link or video to send me? Here in Greece we are still behind. Thanks.
  3. First Gen Nissan LEAF (LEAF24 & LEAF30)
    I am considering a purchase of a 2013 LEAF with 128,000 miles. Obviously, the battery's capacity is the first issue. I understand that many people judge this by how many bars on the guess-o-meter. Others get a OBD-II plug in and some software to measure Ah. I'm thinking of the second route...

    My E-Berlingo was new in September and until this cold weather the range was always more than the battery %, as shown on the dashboard display & in the app. But now the range is less than the % figure - e.g. just now I have 40% battery but only 32 miles range. So even if I charge to 100%, I...
  5. Tesla Model 3
    Hello all, can anyone remember what there 2021 LFP battery SR used to show on a full charge when new. Kind of remember it saying 267 miles, I know you wouldn’t get that but it was just the rated range on 100%. Now 100% showing 253 miles. Slowly creeping down on every full charge over the last...
  6. Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV
    Hi all, I bought a used Outlander PHEV (2013) about 3 weeks ago. I like the care very much. The range on pure EV driving is about 35 km. I read when it was new it should have over 50 km. On YouTube I watched some videos from Aussi Andy and heard about the D-Easy method. It sounds great however I...
  7. Volkswagen Golf GTE
    Hey lads, do you know how to pull the specs of my 201 golf gte battery module? I know that an upgrade took place in 2019, extending the range to 74km theoretically. I never ever even seen anything above 46km range, even driving comically slow.
  8. Renault ZOE
    Hello everyone. Just bought a Renault ZOE ZE50 a month ago. About a week ago I tried charging it and it stopped about after 10 minutes. The ‘Battery charging impossible’ error came on, but there were also other warning lights on the dashboard (a battery icon with an exclamation mark, another...

    Any chance in the foreseeable future older EVs(I own a 2017 Kia Soul EV) could be converted for longer battery mileage. Perhaps a 4th battery cell could be added or the current 3 battery cells could be replaced?
  10. Volkswagen Golf GTE
    When checking the battery health on my golf gte it comes up saying SOC ......... instead of an actual figure does anyone know how to check it if it does this ?
  11. General EV Discussions
    I am thinking of buying an EV, sure it is an eco friendly option, but what concerns me is the charging issue. Do you as an EV owner find charging your EV after every few miles uncomfortable? considering it takes a long time. Also how do you manage a long distance journey?
  12. Renault ZOE
    I have a Zoe 22kWh, which I intend to sell. One of the potential buyers asked for battery SOH. I remembered I still had some old ODB dongle, so I checked it with CanZE app and, to my horror, it showed 66%. I say horror, as I just bought the battery out from Renault, so it cannot be...
  13. First Gen Nissan LEAF (LEAF24 & LEAF30)
    So as an owner of a MK1 Leaf, I made the leap of faith on the opinion that the price of replacement batteries would fall, the physical size of batteries would shrink and so the car could be given a new lease of life when it's range becomes impractical. With the rate of development in the EV...
  14. Volkswagen Golf GTE
    Hi All, I’m thinking of purchasing a golf GTE 17 reg, my commute consists of a 19 mile journey each way, with the ability to charge the car at work. Obviously the range is stated by VW as 31miles on electric alone and from what I’ve read it’s more likely 20-25miles. My question is - would this...
  15. First Gen Nissan LEAF (LEAF24 & LEAF30)
    Hi all, already found a lot of helpful stuff on this thread so seemed like the best place to ask some advice I recently got a 2016 24kwh leaf and I am panicking it was a big mistake (but I hope not bcs I love it!!) My research suggested I could get up to 100-120 miles out of a charge, which...
  16. General Groupe Stellantis EV Discussion
    Just wondering where you would monitor the battery degradation on the Corsa E to tell if it goes below the 70% mentioned in the warrenty? Is there a display/diagnostics somewhere? I do have a bluetooth OBDII dongle somewhere if that helps

    It seems to me that the EV market is missing a key piece of information when you are looking for your next vehicle. For all ICE we have for years based our view of efficiency on MPG, but I can't find any such readily available indicator for EVs. It's not hard to find the total WLTP range and...
  18. First Gen Nissan LEAF (LEAF24 & LEAF30)
    Depressing. Although the figure is not shown on the app, the underlying API actually includes a Watt-Hour figure. My version of the AlexaNissan skill includes telling me the figure. When I first set it up, about Christmas, it was giving me 28KwH after an overnight charge, which I hoped was down...
  19. First Generation Ampera and Volt
    Wee bit of background. Car wasn't used for a week, left plugged in and fully charged. When I went to head to work today I forgot to preheat, Torque was reporting a charge capacity of 86% (used to be 83%, then jumped to 87%). Charge up today and when I went to come home Torque was showing 90%...
  20. General Charging Discussions
    Hi, it is an assumption that as BEV batteries get bigger with more range, the need for public charging goes down. But if the extra range means the BEV is used more for much longer trips then it could be that the need for public charging actually goes up. So if you have switched to a longer range...
