    In the rapidly rising wave of electric vehicles (EV), electric vehicle charging stations have become a shining pearl in the business world. Not only do these charging stations contribute to sustainable development, they also provide valuable opportunities for commercial real estate and bring...
  2. Renault ZOE
    Per the title - is the Zoe supposed to be able to communicate how full the battery is to a charger? I regretably bought an ostensibly OCPP/Tuya compatible charger but it is not showing the battery percentage - which would be useful in controlling the charge). I suspect the chargers...
  3. Kia Niro
    Hi, I am new to electric cars and I was wondering how to pre heat the battery on the e Niro for charging manually, if you are not heading to a charging station via the cars sat nav, as a lot of the charging stations aren't in the cars inbuilt sat nav? Thank you in advance for your replies.

    Hi, new to the EV world. I have an ID5, with a podpoint solo 3 home charger. Both the podpoint app and the VW app offer the option to set a schedule (podpoint is a basic schedule to charge between set hours, VW app let’s you set the time you want it charged by). If I have both of these active...

    Newbie here and just had an Ohme Pro fitted using Octopus Agile. At times it feels like the Ohme app and the car charging app 'fight' with each other. What settings are most people using please? I have mine set that the charger supplies charge whenever the price drops below a certain tariff...

    I tried an Ionity charger at Beaconsfield with my Ioniq 5. It accepted my charge my Hyundai card and confirmed it had verified connection with the car. Then in direct contradiction to the connection OK, it then said "Error communicating with the car" or words to that effect. I tried several...

    Hi everyone, I'm looking at buying an EV soon, but don't have an option of home charge. Anyone from Aberdeen here who has had the same situation and if so, is it manageable? Thanks!
  8. Hyundai Ioniq 5
    Hi, only had my IONIQ 5 for a few weeks so excuse my ignorance: I have a Wallbox 7kw charger and it works fine so no problem with my electric supply. Thought I would try the portable "granny" cable for when I am away from home and have no access to a proper charger. I plug it into a domestic...

    With the number of electric cars growing on our roads and the deadline for all new cars to be powered by electricity getting ever closer, you might have your eye on a charger for home. Is the Autel AC MaxiCharger the one to have? SPONSORED What is it? It's an AC wall box, which you can have...

    My (Hyundai) granny charger plug has melted and I need a replacement. What 13a granny charging cable do people recommend? Thanks.
  11. Hyundai Ioniq 5
    Has anyone experience of a motorway driving style which will generate more battery heat e.g. sport mode or high regen levels. I am thinking 20 mins driving in a certain (but safe) way may introduce heat into the battery before starting a charge and reduce time at the DC charger on a motorway...

    Hi there, we are looking at getting our first EV and I have an electrical question for the group. I currently have 20amps running to my garage. I was thinking of using that to put a 20amp sub panel in the garage and then adding a 240 volt outlet to that which I can then plug an EV charging cord...
  13. General Groupe Stellantis EV Discussion
    I finally got an EV, a peugeot e 208 (its great, very fun and relaxing to drive) drove it and now I need to charge it. I've been told me that I shoulnt charge EVs to 100% in order to perserve battery life. However my car only has a delayed charge setting, not a maximum charge one so I bought a...
  14. Renault ZOE
    Hi I’ve owned several EVs and had my Ohme smart charger for a year now with no problems. Just got a Zoe and it won’t charge at all on the Ohme charger according to the schedule. It knows it’s plugged into the Ohme and there are no errors I can see but Ohme doesn’t deliver any charge at all and...
  15. Corsa-E
    Hi, just a bit concerned as I am new to owning an EV. I recently bought a 2020 plate Corsa E 50kw and I'm unsure if it's excessively draining the battery. I have had it for 7 days and charged it now 3 times(including the full charge from the garage when picking it up). I'm not accelerating...
  16. Citroen eC4
    Hi Is it possible to automatically stop charging at a certain SoC? Say if I wanted to only charge to 80% on my home charger? I know many EVs have this possibility, but the only charge setting I have found on the E-C4 is to make it charge at a certain time. But this is a cumbersome and not very...

    Apologies if this has already been covered - I searched and couldn't find anything but please signpost if it has been. Does anyone know where one might download a dataset of public charge points or access a webservice? I'm after the data that is used in zapmap or plugshare (or similar) but...
  18. Tesla Model 3
    Is anyone else seeing this message since the latest software update? My charge port opens when using the app and from the main screen in the car but not when pressed when the car is unlocked. I've put in a service call but wondered if anyone else has the same issue?
  19. Renault ZOE
    I'd like to refresh the topic as I couldn't find any definitive advice. Years have passed by and there are now lots of products out there that could resolve the issue with dead 12V batteries after a long parking. I've found both the solar chargers that work inside the car as well as OBD...
