  1. Kia Niro
    Hi all. I'm spending about 50 minutes to charge my Kia Niro 2022 until 80%, however after that, the dashboard shows that it would spend 70 minutes more to get 100%. Is it a issue? Is it normal? Is there something that I should do to get 100% faster? Thank you all
  2. Volkswagen Golf GTE
    Hey all, I'm new to the forums so apologies if this is something that's been asked before but I couldn't find it. My GTE (I think it's a Mk7 or 7.5, it's a '18 reg) won't start (nothing even comes on on the dash or infotainment). In fact I can't even lock the car even the manual way (flicking...

  5. Volkswagen Golf GTE
    For the past 2 days , my 2016 golf GTE alarm keeps going off randomly and random points of the day. Today, about 20 mins ago the alarm just went off in the staff car park :confused:. Yesterday evening it went off for no reason too. Is this a sign of a bad or dying battery? Just baffles me so...
  6. Volkswagen Golf GTE
    My 12V battery was replaced in Feb 2022. Recently in the past few days. Every day when I first get in the car I get a "Error: Hybrid System. Stop" and the car won't turn on. After a few tries it turns on and everything goes back to normal. Sometimes when it then starts it gives me a warning...
  7. Volkswagen Passat GTE
    Guys, this month I got a 2018 Passat GTE. Lovely car and I’m so impressed. By way of background, I used to drive a Passat CC. Changed back in February to a BMW 420d Grand Coupe… absolutely hated the thing. No logic to anything in the car’s layout but I’ll not go into details. I really don’t know...
  8. Renault ZOE
    The battery on my 2013 Q210 Zoe is tucked away under the bulkhead bit (as seen in photo) - to remove it will I need to remove that whole panel above it to take the battery out? - I should imagine that would involve removing wiper arms and everything so it would be a bit of a pain , or is there...
  9. Kia Niro
    Has anyone experienced problems after connecting to Intelligent Octopus? My 12V battery was totally depleted and had to be replaced. The local dealer said that it might have something to do with the intermittent charging pattern of the Intelligent Octopus connection. Any comments/advice? Thanks.

    In October of last year, I asked here on the forum about how to solve electric car errors, but the topic didn't attract any attention. I'll try again. In brief, an electric car was brought to me in Ukraine from Germany, but it was delivered on a tow truck and was discharged. When I tried to...
  11. 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.
  12. Kia Niro
    So, common sense says that modern cars have battery management systems and I should only bother with driving the car ( I’m a driver Jim….not an auto engineer! ) But, and maybe it’s my imagination, I think my battery is not behaving as it once was. Seems to charge and discharge more erratically...
  13. General EV Discussions
    Anybody know of EVs that don't show the battery charge level on the infotainment system (instrument panel or head unit) or through the app? I'm doing a comparison between OEMs and still can't understand why some don't show it. As far as I can tell, these models don't show battery charge level...

    Has anyone tried to find out the usable battery capacity of an Astra PHEV during normal driving? I owned a Vauxhall Ampera for almost 10 years, until it was written off in late 2022, and opted to replace it with an Astra PHEV. Both Ampera and Astra were specified with a usable battery range of...

    Had my car's battery replaced with a refurbished one, 7 years into the 8 year warranty: https://simonselectriccar.com/2022/11/25/it-really-happened-broken-tesla-battery/

    Does the eniro FE precondition the battery for charging? as in warm it up? If so, how do I get it to do so when using public chargers? Thanks

    The price of lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles (EVs) has dropped significantly over the last decade, according to a report by the US Department of Energy (DOE). The DOE estimates that in 2022, the price of these batteries was about 89% lower than it was in 2008. This estimate is based...
  18. Renault ZOE
    Since the cold snap before Christmas, the displayed range of our ZE40 R90 after a full charge has dropped to well below what it was before the cold weather. Beforehand, with the air temp at about 10C, the range would have been about 150 miles; it dropped as low as 105 when the temps were below...

    My Fluence has now dropped to 69% SOH. Renault have none in stock. I'm waiting for Renault Finance to make an offer for not honouring their lease agreement. I do really likey my car and rather not scrap it. Is there anyone out there that could repair the pack and replace the cells? Source a...
